Compiled plugins not listed in Resolume FFGL Sources

[discopatrick]

Hi there - thank you for helping to make FFGL plugins easier to create!

I'm having trouble using the examples from the project.

If I download the bundles from the release page, and add them to Resolume via the Video preferences tab, then they are listed in FFGL Sources, and work just fine.

If I try to build them myself, and add them to Resolume in the same way, they do not appear in the list.

My steps for building were:

• Download and install cmake from https://cmake.org/files/v3.7/cmake-3.7.2-Darwin-x86_64.dmg
• Add cmake to my PATH
• clone this repo
• run cmake . from the project root

I tried adding the bundles to Resolume, firstly by adding the project directory directly, and then copying the bundles to a separate directory and adding that one (just in case the presence of other project files was stopping Resolume from recognising the plugins). Neither method worked.

I noticed on the README that it is mentioned the plugins should be built in 32 bit to be compatible with Resolume. I tried updating CMakeLists.txt with some extra flags like so:

set_target_properties(Spiral PROPERTIES BUNDLE true COMPILE_FLAGS "-m32" LINK_FLAGS "-m32")

This didn't seem to fix things either.

Can you think of anything else I should be doing?

I'm running OSX El Capitan 10.11.6, and cmake version 3.7.2

If I can get this working on my machine, I'll be happy to update the README with some instructions for other newcomers :)

Hey, that's great that you've tried to build these examples.

The cmake was generated to work with CLion. Although it sounds like the steps you've taken should work.

I don't have the build on this computer, so I'll have to check back when I'm near my Mac at home and see if there's anything else I've done to make the build work.

Tbc...
