Nlohmann-json is used in the about dialog, yet wasn't required when building the front-end, leading to failing compilation. This ensures that it is correctly required.
With OBS Studio 28.0.0 a new requirement was added to MacOS plugin: Loadable Bundles. These bundles are similar to Application Bundles, and have many of the same features, but are designed to be loaded by Applications instead of being the Application. This allows for almost all of the advantages to persist, with some minimal drawbacks.
These warnings are mostly hints or complete nonsense based on broken parsing. It is easier to disable them than to find a common solution that works on all compilers.
This work-around adds the necessary include directories, as the 'libobs' target does not export any include directories visible without BUILD_INTERFACE evaluating to TRUE. Hopefully the true cause for this problem can be identified and fixed later.
While the system helped users get started quickly, it also presented a unique problem by itself. As CMake grew, the code that supported this system became more and more fragile to the point of failing at random, with no indication of why it would fail. Additionally as OBS Studio 28.0 adopted a much nicer system, it is no longer necessary to have this system at all.
As an addition to this change, all systems that could rely on FindModules now do so. This drastically reduces the complexity of the CMake system, while allowing significantly more flexibility with what binaries are really being used. In the best case this should allow a prepared user to build StreamFX by itself within seconds.
This allows developers to pick their flavor of Qt, potentially enabling more advanced integrations with Qt in the future. Eventually Qt5 support may be dropped in favor of Qt6.
Fixes#811
To ensure better stability of future releases, we need to adopt multiple stages in the release cycle. As we already label Alpha, Beta, Candidate and Stable differently, simply adopting this classification system already does everything for us. This also allows us to maintain compatibility with the existing system, while offering something new entirely.
- Moved all auto-dependencies to a uniform subdirectory for easier caching and cleanup.
- Add an option to download or specify a path for libOBS+obs-frontend-api.
- Remove the dependency on the non-standard obs-frontend-apiConfig.cmake file.
- Add an option to download or specify a path for OBS Dependencies.
- Add an option to download or specify a path for Qt.
- Add an option to download or specify a path for AOM.
- Fix and improve architecture and platform detection.
- Fix some messages having two :, or no prefix at all.
- Fix detection of obs-frontend-api.
- Fix applying custom compiler and linker flags for MSVC and GNU-style builds.
- Use target_compile_options over add_compile_options for compatibility.
It was sometimes impossible to sign the binaries on Windows, depending on how CMake was being run. By explicitly converting to the intended native format, we avoid this problem for most situations. Additionally we now support per-project certificates, instead of global certificates only. This also allows multiple uses of cmake-codesign in the same overall project.
