Expected Behavior
Build-Windows.ps1 runs successfully when installed CMake version is older than 3.24.
Current Behavior
Build-Windows.ps1 raises an error when installed CMake version is older than 3.24.
Steps to Reproduce
- Install CMake 3.23
- Run .github/scripts/Build-Windows-ps1 -Configuration Release -Target x64
Anything else we should know?
The error is caused because CMake versions older than 3.24, which do not support --fresh.
It is raised here:
https://github.com/obsproject/obs-plugintemplate/blob/a1289fdef404b08a7acbbf0d6d0f93da4c9fc087/cmake/common/buildspec_common.cmake#L78
It would be less confusing if the minimum required version is raised to 3.24 here:
https://github.com/obsproject/obs-plugintemplate/blob/a1289fdef404b08a7acbbf0d6d0f93da4c9fc087/CMakeLists.txt#L1
An alternative is obviously to remove the usage of --fresh.
We cannot increase the minimum required version to anything above 3.22 because at the low end we still support Ubuntu 22.04 which can only provide CMake 3.22.
But we can add a version guard before adding the --fresh argument to the OBS sub-project build.
