Attempt at following "Introduction to Creating a Video Analytics Plugin"
Answered
Is this still suppose to work if followed exactly? Is there a particular OS that works with minimal issue? I've tried to run Ubuntu 18.04, 20.04 and 22.04. Then follow instructions. So far on all attempts I hit several roadblocks from library versions to QT Creator saying there is issues with how the examples are written. Which could be more version issues as well.
I also tried on my Mac as well. I'm curious if you have a prebuilt environment like a VMware OVA, VMDK or QEMU's img file. Or any other type of solution to provide a snapshot in time for a complete operating system. This seems to be the biggest issue I constantly have is getting a dev environment up and running with everything needed to work with "Insert Company's Name" Development environment. Likely due to stringent library and version needs. Doesn't help with the release cycle of OS's and all the pieces that make up a development environment.
Figured before I asked for help. I'd first make sure it's still suppose to work and if so what OS works best. I found articles that say 18.04 and others that said 20.04 but I ran into issues with 18.04 and QT Creator as well.

Hello Ryan,
Could you please share OS version, VMS build number, Metadata SDK version, commit hash you're trying to build from?
Could you please elaborate what exactly you're doing and share a specific error message, log record or similar indicating the issue you've faced after that? What are you expecting to happen? What is the actual result?

I will first need to redeploy and test again. Currently I have 2 OS builds. 18.04.6 and 20.04.6. These are running on VMware and I 2 snapshots. One right after core OS install and updates applied. The 2nd is after I deployed the requested apps and downloaded the development packages. Right now I'm deployed to try HanWha's builds to see if I can deploy via their instructions. Once I test I will circle back and download your build and attempt again.

Hello,
There is no need to use specifically Qt Creator. You can use any IDE you prefer and build the plugin in the command prompt.
See readme.md for details.
Change to the root directory of the plugin (the directory of this readme.md file).
Build the plugin as an ordinary CMake-based project, supplying the path to the Metadata SDK.
For example, here is how to build the step 1:
```
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DmetadataSdkDir=/PATH_TO_METADATA_SDK/ -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ../step1
cmake --build . --config Release
```
