Question / Help Problems Compiling on Debian stretch.

[doubledogdare610]

So, I want to use OBS Studio on my Debian Testing system (Stretch)
And so I make sure ffmpeg is installed:

me@tp-T450s-Travis:~/obs-studio/build$ sudo apt-get install ffmpeg
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree      
Reading state information... Done
ffmpeg is already the newest version (7:2.8.5-1+b1).
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 34 not upgraded.

So then I follow the OBS compilation instructions here: https://github.com/jp9000/obs-studio/wiki/Install-Instructions#linux
And I come to this:

travis@tp-T450s-Travis:~/obs-studio/build$ cmake -DUNIX_STRUCTURE=1 -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr ..
-- OBS_VERSION: 0.13.1-10-g54bdb4d
CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake-3.4/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:148 (message):

  deps/libff/CMakeLists.txt:4 (find_package)


-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!
See also "/home/travis/obs-studio/build/CMakeFiles/CMakeOutput.log".

The cmake log is attatched. I am dumbfounded on what to do at this point.. :/

Did you read this part?

Hi.

I have encountered a lot of troubles with debian too.
There are many troubles regarding linking in obs-studio.
I have managed to compile it.

I can provide you the instructions to achieve this if still needed.

I may submit a patch to fix the CMakelists.txt

Quick help prior to a better written tutorial. I used the following cmake variables:

CMAKE_MODULE_LINKER_FLAGS:STRING= -Wl,--fatal-warnings -Wl,--no-undefined -lc -lm -lX11 -lpthread -lxcb -lX11-xcb -ldl -lswresample
CMAKE_SHARED_LINKER_FLAGS:STRING= -Wl,--fatal-warnings -Wl,--no-undefined -lc -lm -lX11 -lpthread -lxcb -lX11-xcb -ldl -lswresample

Also, I have used the "recompile FFMPEG" method. So I had to provide the following paths:

FFMPEG_avcodec_INCLUDE_DIR:PATH=/home/vincent/ffmpeg
FFMPEG_avcodec_LIBRARY:FILEPATH=/home/vincent/ffmpeg/libavcodec/libavcodec.so
FFMPEG_avdevice_INCLUDE_DIR:PATH=/home/vincent/ffmpeg
FFMPEG_avdevice_LIBRARY:FILEPATH=/home/vincent/ffmpeg/libavdevice/libavdevice.so
FFMPEG_avfilter_INCLUDE_DIR:PATH=/home/vincent/ffmpeg
FFMPEG_avfilter_LIBRARY:FILEPATH=/home/vincent/ffmpeg/libavfilter/libavfilter.so
FFMPEG_avformat_INCLUDE_DIR:PATH=/home/vincent/ffmpeg
FFMPEG_avformat_LIBRARY:FILEPATH=/home/vincent/ffmpeg/libavformat/libavformat.so
FFMPEG_avutil_INCLUDE_DIR:PATH=/home/vincent/ffmpeg
FFMPEG_avutil_LIBRARY:FILEPATH=/home/vincent/ffmpeg/libavutil/libavutil.so
FFMPEG_swresample_INCLUDE_DIR:PATH=/home/vincent/ffmpeg
FFMPEG_swresample_LIBRARY:FILEPATH=/home/vincent/ffmpeg/libswresample/libswresample.so.2
FFMPEG_swscale_INCLUDE_DIR:PATH=/home/vincent/ffmpeg
FFMPEG_swscale_LIBRARY:FILEPATH=/home/vincent/ffmpeg/libswscale/libswscale.so

I may have installed a bunch of lib*-dev packages too. I can try to put the list here if needed. But you may be ok with the stuff above.
Good luck. Feel free to ask for more help.

Installing OBS on CentOS 7 (I know the thread is for Debian, but it may help).
I came to the same problem because I was following the wrong guide.
Reading https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio/wiki/Install-Instructions#linux I found a note:

• (Note: you might also need to install ffmpeg-devel)

And that fixed my problem.

yum install ffmpeg-devel

I used RPM Fusion and Nux Desktop repos to resolve dependencies.
