Bug Report libobs-frontend-api.so cannot be found

[roadapathy]

When I build the versions 17 and 18, I get this error:

obs: error while loading shared libraries: libobs-frontend-api.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I have tried various switches:
cmake .. -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS="-O3 -march=bdver2" -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS="-O3 -march=bdver2" -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS="-O3 -march=bdver2" ..

cmake .. -DUNIX_STRUCTURE=0 -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS="-O3 -march=bdver2" -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS="-O3 -march=bdver2" -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS="-O3 -march=bdver2" ..

cmake .. -DUNIX_STRUCTURE=1 -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS="-O3 -march=bdver2" -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS="-O3 -march=bdver2" -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS="-O3 -march=bdver2" ..

Nothing works.... it simply has no idea where its libobs-frontend-api is located.

What distro? Can you provide the full console log output? And have you follow the install directions for your distro here?

This still exists when building on debian jessie in version 19 following the instructions on the github but there is an easy fix (see end)

Distro is Debian
I followed the instructions on there
