=== Solution ===

See [http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5/deployment-plugins.html] for more information about development of Qt plugins.
You can set QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS environment variable to a non-zero value to see more information from plugin loader.

1. Check if filename '!PluginName.dll' is correct in your XML file.
X. Check if the correct version (release/debug) is used, see plugins ''postfix'' attribute in the XML.
X. Check if this file exists in the same directory as the executable.
X. Check if this component CMakeLists.txt uses ```create_export``` and ```pacpus_plugin``` macros and that it adds generated files to the source file list, e.g.:
{{{
create_export(EXPORT_HDR ${PROJECT_NAME})
pacpus_plugin(PLUGIN_CPP PLUGIN_H ${PROJECT_NAME})

set(SRCS
    ${PLUGIN_CPP}
    ...
)
}}}
X. (Windows specific) Check if the .dll file exports any symbols (using e.g. [[UsefulTools|DependencyWalker]]).
