This feeds into efforts to create a working install target.
The order of headers is still funky, and was "fixed" by clang-format,
but in a way that doesn't exactly align with the style guide. Further
cleanup of header order is coming in a follow-up PR.
- Update protobuf to v23.4, to fix the cstdint error on Arch Linux, and
make some related changes:
- Silence additional compiler warnings for the new protobuf
- Update absl to 20230125.3, to support the protobuf update, and make
some related changes:
- Silence additional compiler warnings for the new protobuf
- Replace GOOGLE_CHECK_OK with ABSL_CHECK_OK
- Replace GUARDED_BY with ABSL_GUARDED_BY
- Update other instances of cstdint missing in our own code
- Always pull the latest docker images, to avoid stale results when your
workstation has pulled an older image at the same label
There are a lot of changes in this first phase, because there was a
lot of infrastructure required to get some meaningful amount of
porting done. Future PRs should be simpler.
<b>Summary of changes:</b><details>
- Remove old deps:
- boringssl (replaced with mbedtls, lighter, easier to build)
- gflags (replaced with absl::flags)
- Chromium build tools
- New deps to replace parts of Chromium base:
- abseil-cpp
- glog
- nlohmann::json (for tests only)
- Submodules, updates, and CMake build rules for third-party
libraries:
- curl
- gmock/gtest
- Ported internal libraries and their tests by removing Chromium deps
and adding CMake build rules:
- file (now using C++17 filesystem APIs)
- license_notice
- status
- version
- Test improvements
- Removed file tests that can never be re-enabled
- Re-enabled all other disabled file tests
- Debug JSON values when HTTP tests fail
- Fixed chunked-encoding issues in HTTP tests
- Updated and refactored Dockerfiles testing
- All docker files working, with OS versions updated to meet the
new tool requirements
- Local docker builds no longer write files to your working
directory as root
- Local docker builds can now be run in parallel without clobbering
each others' build outputs
- DEBUG=1 can drop you into an interactive shell when a docker
build fails
- Updated and heavily refactored workflows and Dockerfiles
- All docker files now tested in parallel on GitHub, speeding up CI
- All common workflow components broken out and using workflow_call
instead of custom actions
- Self-hosted runners now optional, to make testing easier on forks
- CMake porting works-in-process can now be fully tested on GitHub
- Building ported libraries and passing ported tests on all three
platforms!
- CI hacks for macOS removed, now testing on macos-latest!
- Python2 no longer required! (Only Python3)
- Using strict build flags, treating all warnings as errors.
</details>
<b>Required to build:</b>

- media/formats/packed_audio
- media/formats/ttml
- media/formats/webm
- media/formats/webvtt
- media/formats/wvm
- media/origin
- media/public
- media/replicator
- media/trick_play
- mpd
- Port main application
- Add logging flags in absl and connect them to glog (which expects
gflags)
- Port pssh-box.py
- Port main test targets (packager_test.py and packager_app.py)
- Updating all requirement and build documentation
- Remove any remaining refs to gclient, depot_tools, ninja
- Update and complete release workflows using release-please

Issue #346 (Switch to abseil)
Issue #1047 (New build system)
Shared libpackager can be built by setting libpackager_type to
shared_library, e.g.
GYP_DEFINES='libpackager_type=shared_library' gclient runhooks
ninja -C out/Debug
will generate libpackager.so in out/Debug/lib directory.
Here is a few other changes to make shared_library builds and
tests pass:
- Add several test parameters to packager.h, which is needed for
testing.
- Create a protoc.gypi from build/protoc.gypi but depending on
protobuf_full_do_not_use instead of protobuf_lite, since we need
protobuf_full_do_not_use for text parsing and generation of media
info proto. Somehow shared_library build does not allow mixed use
of protobuf_full_do_not_use and protobuf_lite.
- Remove the use of LazyInstance in version/version.cc and use static
variable directly. This is because LazyInstance needs AtExitManager
which may not be easy to setup when calling GetVersion.
- Allow skipping testPackageWvmInputWithoutStrippingParameterSetNalus
with flag --shared_library, which is needed as shared_library build
does not support --strip_parameter_set_nalus flag yet.
Fixes#227
