I have been struggling to get any asset resolver compiled and working in houdini using cmake. I can compile it fine but then it never loads to houdini. The same source compiled with hcustom works perfectly fine.
What I did is I printed the flags that hcustom uses and replicated them in cmake. The resulting dll is smaller and not working. Does anyone know what is needed in cmake to get an asset resolver working in houdni usd? Why do I want cmake? Because my project is going to be more complicated than the one file example that ships with houdini and as far as I know hcustom can only compile plugins that are single source file.
I'm using houdni 19.5.368 on windows 10 (yeah windows, that's the catch ;-))
any tips welcome. I'm slowly running out of ideas. The compiler and windows sdk are the same using hcustom and cmake so there must be something missing in my cmake. most likely I'm not linking something since the compilation is successful.
the dll compiled with cmake errors with:
'Failed to load plugin 'arTmp': The specified module could not be found.when I try to load the plugin with the following python:
from pxr import Usd,Plug,Ar Plug.Registry().GetPluginWithName('arTmp').Load()
here is my cmake:
