Building OBS Studio under macOS

  • Install brew
  • Install 
    brew install ffmpeg x264 qt5 cmake mbedtls
git clone --recursive https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio.git
cd obs-studio
mkdir build
cd build
export CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/usr/local/opt/qt
cmake .. && make
cd rundir/RelWithDebInfo/bin/
./obs

Trouble-shooting

  • ffmpeg is not detected. This was because I had ffmpeg installed from zeranoe
    Solution: remove existing ffmpeg installation and reinstall ffmpeg 
    sudo rm /usr/local/bin/ff*
brew reinstall ffmpeg
  • QtSvg not loaded 
    dyld: Library not loaded: @rpath/QtSvg.framework/Versions/5/QtSvg
  Referenced from: /your-path/obs-studio/build/rundir/RelWithDebInfo/bin/./obs
  Reason: image not found
Abort trap: 6
    Not sure why but the way I solved this was to use Qt version from brew instead of Qt Creator's via the CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/usr/local/opt/qt mentioned in the installation step.
