Hello Mathieu, I think the problem got fixed, however not in an elegant way. The solution is to manually set cmake var **BUILD\_SHARED\_LIBS** to **ON** in the top level CMakeLists.txt. Like this:

Then the build project will generate **.dll** file correctly as I wish. The keynote turn out to be that once a _Plugin_ gets built as a solo project, instead of part of the _ParaView_ project, this cmake var will be disabled somehow(it doesn’t appear on _CMake GUI_ variables lists anyway). Maybe there is another way for paraview to fix this, but this just works.  
And I found another topic quite similar to mine——[Build a plugin from examples](https://discourse.paraview.org/t/build-a-plugin-from-examples/1537).
