There may be more than that required.  There was some discussion here a while back. You'll need to search the list.Allan

This is what my question was about. I do have the rc file (see the repo I linked to). Problem is that I don't want to install it into system directory when developing. I tried to run it with
KDEBASE=/tmp ./kmymoney
but with no success.

Where .rc files get installed is specified in the CMakeLists.txt file.
Generally, /usr/share/kde4/apps/<yourpluginname>/.


What is needed is something on the lines of
kmymoney/kmymoney/plugins/csvimport/kmm_csvimport.rc.

"<!DOCTYPE kpartgui>
<kpartgui name="kmymoneyplugin-csvimporter" version="0">
   <MenuBar>
     <Menu name="file">
       <Menu name="import" append="import_merge">
         <Action name="file_import_csv" />
       </Menu>
     </Menu>
   </MenuBar>
</kpartgui>
", which you'd need to adjust.

There are some tutorials like
"https://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/Services/Plugins".
I haven't tried this for some while so cannot guarantee all is OK, but 
it should give you a start.

Also, have a look at the csvimporter plugin, which I cobbled together 
from various sources.

Read them thoroughly to get an understanding.  You know where we are.
