Hi everybody,
I got a request from a friend to write a few video effects for his Resolume Arena VJ, and a little research showed me that the best option would be to use openFrameworks and ofxFFGLplugin addon. I managed to build a working effect with Xcode3 and OF 620, and now I'd like to make it work with the last library and IDE versions.
A few touch-ups to the plugin code and to the project settings led to a successful compile and link with XCode 5.0.2 and OF 080 on a Mavericks iMac. There still are lots of warnings from deprecated function calls but that should be acceptable. Anyway the final bundle is not recognized by Arena, it does not even appear in the effects list. The bundle structure is fine because if I substitute the executable inside it with another one (from my plugin compiled with the old version for example) it works.
Any hint about how the problem could be fixed? Is there a way to debug it someway? I was thinking about writing debug info to a file since there is no console available, but that doesn't feel like the best idea.
Here you can have a peek to the addon code and to my project directory.
