Hi, How do I go about compiling the plugin in mariadb? I searched online, but only found the mysql method : https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/compiling-plugin-libraries.html I'm getting some errors there, but, I wanna know, if it's done differently or like this?

2 questions:

to make .so file from .c, is it necessary for me to compile mariadb after each change? Or is there a shorter way as far as plugins are concerned?

You only need to compile the plugin, you don't need to compile MariaDB at all, you can use a binary from our site or as provided by your OS.

Is there any specific tip you would have as far as coding is concerned? Or does the normal convention of good code, good comments and indentation work alright?

Just normal convention. The usual - see how it's done elsewhere in MariaDB and do the same.
