Bug Report Not Running. Not Compiling. Unable to use OBS on Debian Testing

[Lymkwi]

Hi,

I've been using OBS ever since I had something to record, circa 2014, almost always on Debian Linux. As of recently, OBS Studio was behaving fine, albeit for the occasional flashing of my X window captures.
Last night I decided to stream. After dealing with a few errors like "Output ID 'rtmp_output' not found", I realized I was running a version of OBS I had compiled myself almost a year and a half prior (when said flickering issues appeared and weren't being fixed).
So I removed it and tried the debian package.
Didn't work.

My guess is that OBS Studio is trying to translate a string into a language for a local it doesn't understand, and things go haywire.

Here my output for "localectl".

   System Locale: LANG=en_US
                  LANGUAGE=en_US:en
       VC Keymap: n/a
      X11 Layout: fr
       X11 Model: pc105
     X11 Variant: oss
     X11 Options: terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp

After that I decided I was absolutely not gonna try and debug OBS on my own because this is not my responsibility, and I decided to go look on the official website for advice. I saw detailed instructions for compiling on Debian and Debian-based linux distros, and I followed them to a tee, until I ran into two compiling errors, documented in the log file attached.

For info on my setup, I'm running Debian Testing (so, I guess, bullseye), up to date (as of about thirty minutes ago) and rebooted (as of about twenty minutes ago). I'd gladly like to receive some assistance, as I am quite done with dealing with OBS misbehaving on my own, and I know no reasonable alternative to it.

EDIT: I tried to compile the current master of OBS Studio's repo.

Just from reading the log - your custom compiled FFMPEG version needs to be compiled with the "-fPIC" flag so it can be properly linked to libobs.
