lib file for windows for plugin development missing

[u19809]

Hi,

I reported this problem before but when I create a plugin under windows I get missing symbols (like mosquitto_callback_register and mosquitto_free).

These symbols are defined in the dll but the mosquitto.lib file only contains the client API symbols, not the plugin symbols.

COuld they be added to the installer ?

I do not know much about how linking in windows works, but in linux the broker plugin symbols (eg. mosquitto_callback_register) are located in the mosquitto server binary itself and no separate library for plugin is required.

They are typically resolved when mosquitto loads the plugin.

Perhaps a similar concept is used in windows?

In windows you need a lib in linux the so file is enough ... W

@u19809 I've added the file to the installer, you can test it out here if you want: https://github.com/eclipse-mosquitto/mosquitto/actions/runs/14858110554

ok, indeed now a mosquitto_broker.lib is installed. Could only test the x86 build (which I do not need I need the 64x build). so waiting for 2.0.22 64 version

thx
