Hi there,
it's been quite a while now since we received our last OBS build for Mac. Theres a ton of upgrades and fixes in the last few versions, and somehow we are missing out on all of them.. When can we expect the new versions to become available ?

I did build 16.2 from the sources available on Git, but for some reason no text sources were available.. Lost in the build or something.

Please, let us enjoy the latest releases on Mac! :D

The build servers went down. Since this is an all volunteer effort someone had to step up and help out. While that has happened and we are moving to a new build setup there have been some issues with setting up support for pre-MacOS 10.10 (thanks Apple!). The good news is that the new setup will be a lot cooler from a dev/beta-tester POV. All of that said, when the new build server (at least for MacOS) is up and running, the new releases will start to flow again.

Now as to your issue with not having a text source option, are you using MacPorts or homebrew? With ether one you should install cmake-gui and the freetype2 libs. Run cmake-gui and see if it can pick up on the installed freetype2-libs, and if not, manually assign their location in the cmake-gui.

That should enable you to build Studio with Text Source support.

Hey, thanks for taking the time to reply!

I did use homebrew and followed the build instructions provided here: https://github.com/jp9000/obs-studio/wiki/Install-Instructions#mac-osx
Theres no mention of freetype2 there, and i guess that was the cause of my problem! Ill run the build again tomorrow and let you know how it goes :)

If everything goes well i might as well (if thats ok) post a link to a .dmg built on Sierra for anyone that (just as me) is anxious to get his hands on 16.2. I found that while my build worked fine on the machine i built it on, it would not run on a different machine with El Capitan.

Anyway, thanks for the help!

Ok, I'm going to try this.

Step 1: Verify what I have compared to the install file.
-- Add Qt5 (it's big)
-- update a bunch of outdated ports
Ohh, 800% CPU usage recompiling ffmpeg. I haven't seen my CPU fully active in a long time :-).
Hmm, git also? Why no pre-built binaries for those two?

OK, after doing an upgrade, two ports won't rebuild.
p5.16-parse-cpan-meta is replaced by the p5.22 version, but that itself is replaced by another, and it's just not updating properly.
And libhsplasma (used by Myst-online) is not compiling properly. I don't think either of these are show stoppers for OBS, so continuing ...

Step 2:
keybounceMBP:obs-studio michael$ mkdir build
keybounceMBP:obs-studio michael$ cd build
keybounceMBP:build michael$ cmake ..

...
-- Checking for module 'jack'
-- No package 'jack' found
-- Found jack: /usr/local/lib/libjack.dylib
...

/usr/local? Not /opt/local?
Looks like I installed the release from the jack website, rather than compiled.

Ok, so
Step 3: Make
... there's a bunch of deprecated warnings ...
Hmm, seems to have worked.

Step 4: make package
Step 5: install .dmg

... Ha! QJackCtl reports a "JACK Input Client" port on the "Reading" side. So no more fiddling with sound flower loopbacks, I can just make two jack inputs (one for game, one for skype).

Seems to be working, no issues.

... How "independent" is the .dmg that I built? Does it have any reliance on my system having stuff in /opt/local instead of /usr/local, or can I safely upload it for others?

EDIT: Or not -- I just got a crash from OBS, just sitting there, not actually doing anything. And, I'm not the only one that tried to compile this, but I'm using ports, not brew.

Hey, Ive built with FreeType installed this time and everything works almost like a charm. The 'almost' refers to a single crash when almost instantly after I first opened the app, related to an issue with the BrowserSource rendering.. On all following runs everything was fine - no more crashes of any kind.

I am happy to share the dmg i built with you guys, hope it works for you as well!

Built on MacOS Sierra: http://grothawk.com/obs-studio-x64-0.16.2-59-ga7ef10f.dmg

Please remember that you are running this at your own risk. I am by no means an expert in the field, just a guy that really wanted to get his hands on the Automatic Scene Switcher and a few other things ;)

We have a python script that bundles up everything into the .dmg file... also another reason for the extra time it's taking to spin up a Mac builder is that packaging is...

I don't know. I'm not an expert on building .dmg/.mpkg/.pkg files. Never done it, so I can't really say much about it.

As to MacPorts and cmake-gui... I recall cmake and cmake-gui being separate installs, but maybe I'm wrong. It's best to check the MacPorts repository/library.

As to git... I thought was bundled with the OS... since OS X 10.8? (Maybe earlier?) Either way, install cmake and if that doesn't supply the gui, try looking in the repos for the correct package name.

The OS-supplied git is very old.

cmake-gui doesn't seem to be needed to compile OBS; at least, for me, normal cmake worked to generate a makefile. Of course, it didn't run properly, but that's another story.

@keybounce Looks like youre missing one of the libs that i installed prior to building the package. The guide i linked to before (https://github.com/jp9000/obs-studio/wiki/Install-Instructions#mac-osx) provides a pretty smooth explanation of the steps that you need to take. I used homebrew and installed FFmpeg, x264, Qt5 and cmake. Its as simple as running
Code: 
brew install ffmpeg
brew install x264
brew install qt5
brew install cmake
brew install freetype

The guide worked fine for me. Hope it helps!

You mid-understand. I have all those libraries installed.

Look again at what failed:

The following ports are currently installed:

keybounceMBP:build michael$
It's there, but you have hardcoded library paths that cannot find the library in a different location.

EDIT: GRR. I've verified that I'm copy/pasting multiple spaces, but it won't accept multiple spaces.
