Does this build for all targets and do we need any extra dependencies? We probably need some unit tests at least too.

I think at the moment you've not actually enabled it to build, only for the container but then we don't test or exercise that in unit tests or builds.

[patrick-stephens]

Is this what should be used in the cmake config? It's already defaulting to on

[AdheipSingh]

feel free to suggest the best practice here. I tried to build without it but was not able to run the plugin.

Please suggest some examples on unit tests and what can be done on building the ideal way. I'll implement this. ( i am not an expert in C codebase, so whatever is the best practice, ill will try to adhere to it ).
