Question / Help cmake error missing Syphon

[bennykhoo]

I am getting the following error.

I downloaded the source from https://github.com/jp9000/obs-studio/ and my
plugins/mac-syphon/syphon-framework/ directory is empty. Trying to build OBS on 10.9.5. Still new to CMake, any help are very much appreciated! Thx

Make sure you run "git submodule update --init --recursive" to check out submodules, including the Syphon framework.

This fixed the issue. I must have jumped the instructions in INSTALL.txt down to the Mac section. Thank you so much!

I am stuck compiling as well, and my syphon folder is empty. The above solution did not work for me, and the instructions are not overly helpful here as a n00b looking to test a few things in the code. I sorted the qt5 error, but now I am stuck on this:


build Home$ cmake .. && make

Update: Directory no longer empty, but error persists. Maybe not checking out right.

Ok, I sorted it with the help of someone competent. :-)

Firstly, you need to clone the source, not download and extract. After installing git, just use 'git clone [the URL]' to clone it.

Secondly, you need to apply 'git submodule update --init' to the folder of obs-studio in the git (which I put in the home directory). Then there are no qt5 directory errors either, it just compiles. I was having folders randomly all over the place and hopelessly initializing and checking out of folders. Home dir ftw.
