Build

You can either build the plugin as a standalone project or integrate it into the build of OBS Studio.

Building it as a standalone project follows the standard cmake approach. Create a new directory and run cmake ... <path_to_source> for whichever build system you use. You may have to set the CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH environment variable to the location of libobs's header files if cmake does not find them automatically. You may also have to set the CMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable to the location of the libobs binary if cmake does not find it automatically.

To integrate the plugin into the OBS Studio build put the source into a subdirectory of the plugins folder of OBS Studio and add it to the CMakeLists.txt.
