Makefile issue

[karthick241187]

Hi Guys,
I have been building plugins for Autodesk Alias application. i want to use imgui as the ui for my plugins., i have problems with linking. i am new to programing and to build the plugin i have to use a make file and run nmake command in command prompt.
i took the example file from imgui the one with just using opengl and windows.

below is my makefile to build alias plugin. i tried to run this with imgui. i am unsuccessful. any help would be highly appreciated.

##############################################################################

Makefile for use by LiveData developers

NOTE: "vcvarsall amd64" must be run before attempting to compile the API

examples. Please see the API documentation for information.

##############################################################################

If the location of the Alias libraries and header files are

different from $ALIAS_LOCATION, set it here.

Location of Alias libraries and header files

ALIAS_LOCATION = E:\program files\Autodesk\AliasLearningEdition2024.1

Run vcvarsall to properly configure the development environment

CC = cl.exe
CPLUSPLUS = cl.exe
LINK = link.exe
RC = rc.exe
INCLUDES = /I. /I"$(ALIAS_LOCATION)\ODS\Common\include"/I"C:\aliasplugindev\imgui_test\imgui-master\backends"

Debug Flags

CDBFLAG = /DEBUG /Z7
LDBFLAG = /DEBUG

Flags

CFLAGS = /nologo /MD $(CDBFLAG) $(INCLUDES)
CPLUSPLUSFLAGS = $(CFLAGS) /EHsc

Plugin flags

PLUGINFLAGS = /nologo /DLL /opt:noref /incremental:no /DEBUG
"$(ALIAS_LOCATION)\lib\libAliasCore.lib" $(LDBFLAG) user32.lib opengl32.lib

Extra link libraries

EXTRA_LIBS = kernel32.lib user32.lib gdi32.lib winspool.lib comdlg32.lib
advapi32.lib shell32.lib ole32.lib oleaut32.lib uuid.lib odbc32.lib odbccp32.lib opengl32.lib

LIBS = -lopengl32

Rules for building

.SUFFIXES: .plugin .obj .cpp .c
.cpp.plugin:
$(CPLUSPLUS) -c $(CPLUSPLUSFLAGS) $<
$(LINK) $(PLUGINFLAGS) /out:.\lib$.plugin $.obj

.obj.plugin:
$(LINK) $(PLUGINFLAGS) /out:.\lib$*.plugin $<

.cpp.obj:
$(CPLUSPLUS) -c $(CPLUSPLUSFLAGS) $*.cpp

.c.obj:
$(CC) -c $(CFLAGS) $*.c

.c.i:
$(CC) -E $(CFLAGS) $.c | sed -e '/^[ ]$$/d' > $*.i

.cpp.i:
$(CPLUSPLUS) -E $(CPLUSPLUSFLAGS) $.cpp | sed -e '/^[ ]$$/d' > $*.i

Clean up

#clean:
del *.obj lib*.plugin lib*.exp lib*.lib

Rules for building specific examples

incrementalsave.plugin: main.obj imgui.obj imgui_demo.obj imgui_draw.obj imgui_tables.obj imgui_widgets.obj
$(LINK) $(PLUGINFLAGS) /out:.\lib$@ main.obj imgui.obj imgui_demo.obj imgui_draw.obj imgui_tables.obj imgui_widgets.obj
