amazon-kinesis-video-streams-producer-sdk-cpp: Build Error on Mac

when I execute cmake .. in the build folder, this is the error I got

@grantpowell I actually built the dependency first and then build the Kinesis producer

build depdency

brew install pkg-config openssl cmake gstreamer gst-plugins-base gst-plugins-good gst-plugins-bad gst-plugins-ugly log4cplus gst-libav

build Kinesis video stream producer

 cmake .. -DBUILD_DEPENDENCIES=OFF -DBUILD_GSTREAMER_PLUGIN=ON

MAC M1 arm64 with BigSur would not build from source and failed each time when building libopenssl. It seemed to still think it was i386 architecture. I installed the 10+ packages view brew (+ bison) and downloaded the latest Xcode but it still failed. After many hours I look at this issue and did what M-Davies suggested and it finally worked.

@roeniss we are welcoming any contribution of the repository. If you think of changes, please push a PR and it will be much appreciated 👍

Meanwhile, we are not yet officially supporting macOS Catalina. We have seen some build failures due to the system file protection. Could you please try to disable it and retry?

@TaihuaLi I noticed that you configured kvs with cmake ... By default, we won’t generate gstreamer kvssink plugin. You need to configure with cmake .. -DBUILD_GSTREAMER_PLUGIN=ON. Then, you need to compile the project with make.

At the end, you should check if there’s a binary called kvssink in the build directory.
