I have built a few samples from samples/SOP/ using the hcustom command.

The build target .so ends up in my $HOME/houdini20.0/dso/ directory.

After launching Houdini, I open Texport and run dsoinfo command. I see the SOP plugins listed as loaded.

So far so good!

Now, if I do the same with plugins from samples/DM/ then I also end up with a .so file in the right directory.

But dsoinfo will not show it as loaded.

Do DM samples require a different approach to building or running compared to the SOP examples?

Thanks.


Platform: Linux RHEL9

Houdini: 20.0.591

UPDATE: Even though they are not listed, I see that the DM sample plugins do work.

So this is probably just a shortcoming of the dsoinfo utility.
