I am getting the following error:
mkdir: cannot create directory ‘build’: File exists
CMake Error: The source directory "/home/pi/ffmpeg-libraries/FFmpeg" does not appear to contain CMakeLists.txt.
Specify --help for usage, or press the help button on the CMake GUI.

Any ideas on how to resolve this?

Update: Attempted again and am now getting:

thanx for creating this script.
unfortunately, I run into problems. The funny thing is, every time I run sudo make -j4 it gets a bit further but it will not succeed.

last error message I get is

make[2]: *** [plugins/obs-ffmpeg/ffmpeg-mux/CMakeFiles/obs-ffmpeg-mux.dir/build.make:87: plugins/obs-ffmpeg/ffmpeg-mux/obs-ffmpeg-mux] Error 1
make[1]: *** [CMakeFiles/Makefile2:1526: plugins/obs-ffmpeg/ffmpeg-mux/CMakeFiles/obs-ffmpeg-mux.dir/all] Error 2
make: *** [Makefile:152: all] Error 2

but I guess I have to start with the first error to analyze...

update:

Here are the last few lines of a fresh run:

/usr/bin/ld: /home/pi/ffmpeg-libraries/FFmpeg/libavformat/srtp.c:318: undefined reference to `av_hmac_update'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

It seems that it already fails to build the ffmpeg libraries...

Any idea what could be the problem?

Raspberry Pi 4 with 4GB and latest raspberrian full install

sudo cmake -DUNIX_STRUCTURE=1 -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr ..
CMake Error: The source directory "/home/pi" does not appear to contain CMakeLists.txt.

I'm getting this error when trying to install. Any ideas on how to correct this?

sudo cmake -DUNIX_STRUCTURE=1 -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr ..
CMake Error: The source directory "/home/pi" does not appear to contain CMakeLists.txt.

I'm getting this error when trying to install. Any ideas on how to correct this?

You are in the wrong directory and are attempting to build so that CMake is referring to a non-existent file.

You can try instead i.e. (copy and paste the following highlighted text into the terminal if you know what you are doing ...):

cd $HOME && mkdir obs-tmp && cd obs-tmp && git clone --recursive https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio.git && cd obs-studio && mkdir build && cd build && cmake -DBUILD_BROWSER=OFF -DUNIX_STRUCTURE=1 -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr ..

Note that the -DBUILD_BROWSER=OFF flag will not build the browser source; also, good luck in getting the /opt/vc/lib/libEGL.so / libobsglad.so linking to work, that's where I'm stuck on the RPi4B at the moment myself. :P

Hi, thank you for the script.
I was able to make it run smoothly, but when I try to run OBS I get a pop up with the following message:
"Error: Failed to initialize video. You GPU may not be supported, or your graphic drivers may need to be updated"

I have a brand new Raspberry 4 and installed the latest Raspberry OS:

$ cat /etc/os-release
PRETTY_NAME="Raspbian GNU/Linux 10 (buster)"
NAME="Raspbian GNU/Linux"
VERSION_ID="10"
VERSION="10 (buster)"
VERSION_CODENAME=buster
ID=raspbian
ID_LIKE=debian
HOME_URL="http://www.raspbian.org/"
SUPPORT_URL="http://www.raspbian.org/RaspbianForums"
BUG_REPORT_URL="http://www.raspbian.org/RaspbianBugs"

Would you have an idea what I could do next ?

Thank you for your esteemed help

Hi again,

It appears that the solution is launching obs this way:
LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 obs

It did the trick at least for me.

Cheers everyone
