Mike-Solar 66d761b4b7 R8: finish app/ pure C ABI migration (P3-P9) and make OTIO required
- app/ no longer includes engine C++ headers nor holds engine C++ types:
  engine access goes through the oakengine C ABI plus C++ wrappers
  (oakutil/oaknode.h, oakutil/oakvideo.h) and app-local mirror types
  (tooltypes, trackreferencehandle, timelinecommonapp, keyframetypes,
  subtitleapp, serializedlayoutinfoapp, nodevaluehandle, sliderdisplaytypeapp)
- engine: new C ABI functions for block/track/clip/transition navigation
  and predicates, links, caches, waveform/playback, disk folder,
  sequence_track_list, node_free, footage_is_valid, block_get_track,
  get_brush; loadotio/saveotio ported to the current engine API
- OTIO is now a required dependency: CI and CD build it on every
  platform, FindOpenTimelineIO fixed for OTIO 0.16/0.19 (the old deps
  include requirement silently disabled OTIO everywhere), runtime
  libraries are bundled into packages and copied next to macOS binaries
  (oak_copy_otio_runtime)
- fix ProjectViewModel drag&drop mime read/write size mismatch (segfault)
- unify color label naming (k_olive -> "Oak") in the app-side mirror
- docs: OTIO required, FFmpeg minimum corrected to 6.0 (en/zh)
- gtest suite: 1925 passed, 0 failed

# Build Guide
This document describes how to build Oak Video Editor from source on Windows, Linux, and macOS.
## Prerequisites
- CMake 3.20+
- Ninja (recommended)
- Qt 6 (with private headers)
- FFmpeg 6.0+ development libraries
- OpenTimelineIO (0.16+, built from source below — no distro package on most platforms)
- OpenImageIO
- OpenColorIO (2.x)
- OpenEXR
- Expat
- PortAudio
- OpenGL headers
- Vulkan SDK (optional, required for the Vulkan render backend)
- XKB common (Linux)
---
## Windows (MSYS2)
This guide uses [MSYS2](https://www.msys2.org/) with the UCRT64 toolchain.
### 1. Install MSYS2
Download and install MSYS2 from [https://www.msys2.org/](https://www.msys2.org/). Then open the **MSYS2 UCRT64** terminal.
### 2. Install Dependencies
```bash
pacman -Syu
pacman -S --needed \
mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-cmake \
mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-ninja \
mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-qt6-base \
mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-qt6-tools \
mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-ffmpeg \
mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-openimageio \
mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-opencolorio \
mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-openexr \
mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-fmt \
mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-expat \
mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-portaudio \
mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-vulkan-headers \
mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-vulkan-loader \
mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-gcc
```
> **Note:** Qt 6 private headers may require additional packages depending on the MSYS2 repository state. If CMake reports missing private headers, install `mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-qt6-base-private` if available.
### 3. Build OpenTimelineIO (required)
There is no MSYS2 package for OpenTimelineIO, so build it from source:
```bash
git clone --depth 1 --branch v0.16.0 https://github.com/PixarAnimationStudios/OpenTimelineIO.git
cmake -S OpenTimelineIO -B OpenTimelineIO/build -G Ninja \
-DOTIO_SHARED_LIBS=ON \
-DOTIO_PYTHON_BINDINGS=OFF \
-DOTIO_FIND_IMATH=ON \
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="${PWD}/otio-install"
cmake --build OpenTimelineIO/build
cmake --install OpenTimelineIO/build
```
### 4. Clone and Build
```bash
# Clone the repository
git clone --recursive https://github.com/OakVideoEditorCommunity/oak.git
cd oak
# Configure
cmake -S . -B build -G Ninja \
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
-DOTIO_LOCATION="/path/to/otio-install" \
-DBUILD_QT6=ON
# Build
cmake --build build --config Release
```
### 5. Run Tests (Optional)
```bash
ctest --test-dir build --output-on-failure -C Release
```

---
## Troubleshooting
### Qt 6 Not Found
Ensure Qt 6 is in your PATH and CMake prefix path:
```bash
# Linux / macOS
export PATH="/path/to/qt6/bin:$PATH"
export CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH="/path/to/qt6"
# Windows (MSYS2)
export PATH="/ucrt64/bin:$PATH"
```
### Missing Private Headers
If you see errors about missing Qt private headers, install the corresponding private development package for your distribution (e.g., `qt6-base-private-dev` on Debian/Ubuntu, `qt6-qtbase-private-devel` on Fedora).
### FFmpeg Not Found
Make sure FFmpeg development libraries are installed and `pkg-config` can locate them:
```bash
pkg-config --exists libavcodec && echo "Found" || echo "Not found"
```
### FFmpeg Version Too Old
Oak requires FFmpeg 6.0 or newer; CMake configure fails with `Could NOT find FFMPEG (missing: FFMPEG_VERSION) (Required is at least version "6.0")` on older versions. Ubuntu 24.04+ / Fedora / Arch / Homebrew / MSYS2 all ship new enough FFmpeg. If your distro is older, build from source:
```bash
git clone --branch n8.1.1 --depth 1 https://git.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.git ffmpeg-src
cd ffmpeg-src
./configure \
--prefix="$PWD/../ffmpeg-install" \
--enable-static \
--disable-shared \
--disable-doc \
--disable-programs \
--disable-avdevice \
--disable-network \
--enable-pic \
--enable-gpl \
--enable-version3
make -j$(nproc)
make install
cd ..
```
Then pass `-DFFMPEG_ROOT="$PWD/ffmpeg-install"` to CMake.
### OpenTimelineIO Not Found
OpenTimelineIO is a required dependency. Build it from source as shown in your platform's section above and pass `-DOTIO_LOCATION=/path/to/otio-install` to CMake. On Arch Linux the `opentimelineio` package provides it directly.
