Odd dependencies
0%
Description
I just tried to do a quick build with Visual Studio 2008 for myself, and
deselected plugins/projects I didn't need.
The project "Dolphin" complained about plugin_dx9.lib being missing.
After checking the Project dependencies for Dolphin, pretty much all the
plugins are listed as dependency. That also means they are linked into the
binary, which is not the intended behaviour i think.
Could anyone probably look into this?
IMO Plugins should not be referenced from the main app (you'll never know,
and should not know, who writes a plugin), unless you'd directly call
methods from them (which makes the point of them being plugins a bit useless)

Your concern is valid, but the plugins are not required to be built side by side with
the core Dolphin project. You may feel free to mark them not to build (right click-
unload project). It is done that way mainly for rapid development and ease of use. :)
