1. download the maya develop kit 

https://apps.autodesk.com/MAYA/en/Detail/Index?id=6303159649350432165&appLang=en&os=Win64

then extract to C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya2016

2. set environmental variable:

MAYA_PATH = c:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya2016

add c:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya2016\bin; to Path

3.new a plain C++ Application project 

4.overwrite the .pro file as follows:

TEMPLATE = libTARGET = HelloCONFIG += console c++11CONFIG -= app_bundleCONFIG -= qtQMAKE_EXTENSION_SHLIB = mllQMAKE_LFLAGS	= /export:initializePlugin /export:uninitializePlugin /SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWS_CFLAGS		= /FD /GSQMAKE_CFLAGS	+= $${_CFLAGS}QMAKE_CXXFLAGS	+= $${_CFLAGS}SOURCES += \    main.cppDEFINES += WIN32 \           _WIN64 \           _WINDOWS \           _USRDLL \           NT_PLUGIN \           REQUIRE_IOSTREAM \           _BOOLINCLUDEPATH += $$(MAYA_PATH)/include \QMAKE_LIBDIR += $$(MAYA_PATH)/libLIBS += -lFoundation -lOpenMaya -lOpenMayaUI#OBJECTS_DIR = ""

5. create a c++ source file and write into it with following contents:

#include 
   
    #include 
    
     #include 
     
      DeclareSimpleCommand( HelloMaya , "NCCA", "Maya 2016") //HelloMaya is the class nameMStatus HelloMaya::doIt( const MArgList& ){    std::cout<<"This should come from the shell\n"<
     
    
   

6. Now we can copy the Hello.mll to C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya2016\bin\plug-ins

7.open maya, type and execute HelloMaya in maya command shell 

note: the command HelloMaya is the class name not the plugin's name.
