Hi,

I guess your plugin source file is called paket-foo.c (note the missing c)?

The fact that nmake can build the object files from the C-files is because
of build in rules. It is smart enough to understand that an object file
can be made from a C file. Makes writing makefile a whole lot simpler. See
http://users.actcom.co.il/~choo/lupg/tutorials/writing-makefiles/writing-makefiles.html
for some explanation.

Maybe you can post you makefile.nmake and a directory listing of the
plugin dir?

Thanx,
Jaap
