Description

How should I compile the OpenFX example plugin for DaVinci Resolve?

I'm compiling the next source code:
https://github.com/ofxa/openfx/tree/master/Documentation/sources/Guide/Code

I'm using `Developer Command Prompt for VS2015` and the `INCLUDE=\include` environment variable. It compiles but is not loaded by DaVinci Resolve. I already try with other plugin binaries and they works (I don't compile them, I download them).

I want to develop my own plugin so I need to learn how to compile a simple plugin for an Video Editing Application like DaVinci Resolve.
I'm missing something?

Research direction

Start with Documentation/sources/Guide/Code and the reported Developer Command Prompt for VS2015 build setup, including the INCLUDE environment variable. Compare the resulting example plugin with binaries that DaVinci Resolve loads and identify what prevents detection; done means the compiled example is recognized by DaVinci Resolve.
