Building OBSInfoWriter

Note: These instructions are out of date since the switch to CMake

Setup a directory where you can clone all the projects in
Clone the latest OBS-Studio

Follow the Build directions for obs-studio https://github.com/jp9000/obs-studio/wiki/Install-Instructions
You don't need to build the project

On Mac:

Extract the .dylib binaries from the latest OBS for MAC build and place them in a folder called obs-binaries (right-click on OBS in Applications and choose "Show package contents")

On Windows:

Make .lib files for obs.dll and obs-frontend-api.dll
- Open visual studio command prompt and copy obs.dll and obs-frontend-api.dll to a folder (no spaces in path)
- Create a .bat file (make sure to execute in the visual studio command prompt) as follows

@echo off
dumpbin /exports obs.dll > exports.txt
echo EXPORTS > obs.def
for /f "skip=19 tokens=4" %%A in (exports.txt) do echo %%A >> obs.def
lib /def:obs.def /out:obs32.lib /machine:x86
lib /def:obs.def /out:obs64.lib /machine:x64

@echo off
dumpbin /exports obs-frontend-api.dll > exports.txt
echo EXPORTS > obs-frontend-api.def
for /f "skip=19 tokens=4" %%A in (exports.txt) do echo %%A >> obs-frontend-api.def
lib /def:obs-frontend-api.def /out:obs-frontend-api32.lib /machine:x86
lib /def:obs-frontend-api.def /out:obs-frontend-api64.lib /machine:x64

Run the .bat files and you should have the 4 lib files made
Copy the lib files to ..\obs-studio-bin\lib\x64 and ..\obs-studio-bin\lib\x86 from the OBSInfoWriter folder
I believe the files need to be renamed obs-frontend-api.lib and obs.lib under the \x86 and \x64 folders

On Linux:

No extra action required

Clone Crosscables

git clone https://github.com/partouf/Crosscables.git
cd Crosscables
On linux/mac, run sh buildall.sh
On Windows, open the .sln in Visual Studio (should be te same VS as OBS-Studio was built with)
If building stops with Jumpknots because of openssl, that's ok, we only need Groundfloor to build

Clone OBSInfoWriter

git clone https://github.com/partouf/OBSInfoWriter.git

Build

Linux: make -f Makefile.linux
Mac: make -f Makefile.mac
