How to build and run the samples from Github?

Hi !
So, I wanted to test and run this sample code:

mcneel/rhino-developer-samples/blob/master/cpp/SampleExportMesh/SampleExportMeshPlugIn.cpp

#include "StdAfx.h"
#include "rhinoSdkPlugInDeclare.h"
#include "SampleExportMeshPlugIn.h"
#include "Resource.h"

// The plug-in object must be constructed before any plug-in classes derived
// from CRhinoCommand. The #pragma init_seg(lib) ensures that this happens.
#pragma warning( push )
#pragma warning( disable : 4073 )
#pragma init_seg( lib )
#pragma warning( pop )

// Rhino plug-in declaration
RHINO_PLUG_IN_DECLARE

// Rhino plug-in name
// Provide a short, friendly name for this plug-in.
RHINO_PLUG_IN_NAME( L"SampleExportMesh" );

// Rhino plug-in id

This file has been truncated. show original

I cloned the repo, and built the specific solution for “SampleExportMeshPlugin”. I also successfully got a .rhp file and have installed it. The problem is, it doesn’t have any commands which I can type and run.

How do I get this up and running?

Thank you!

This particular plug-in works through the Save As… dialog, where you select the .mesh file type. When you give a valid file name and confirm Rhino will call the WriteFile() function for this plug-in.
