So I've made a plugin but I need a windows build. Foundry does not say which tools you need, but they do provide a sample makefile. What do I need to have?

The documentation with Nuke 6.0v5 / win32 recommends Visual Studio 2005. That's the only version I have installed on this machine, so I can't speak with certainty about other versions, but that should be all you need. There is also a mention that the Fondry uses the Intel compiler. I once built some of the sample code using Visual Studio 2008, and I didn't have any obvious problems in the brief testing I did, but it is probably safest to try and use the recomended build tools if you have them available and it is practical.
Link with the provided DDImage.lib, and you should be pretty much all-set.

Aha, so if I don’t feel like buying VS I’m outa luck until someone comes along and builds one for me. In the headers I also see a mention of g++ – did you try builds with mingw or msys?

Never tried it with mingw, but you can probably get the free “Express Edition” of Visual Studio to work just fine. You may need to download the Windows SDK separately from the main Visual Studio download, if I recall correctly.
