How can I install OBS (Open Broadcaster Software) without errors on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
What are the steps to build OBS for Ubuntu 18.04 LTS without dependencies or ffmpeg errors?
I initially followed the Ubuntu official documentation here: https://obsproject.com/wiki/install-instructions#linux as follow:
$sudo apt-get install ffmpeg
$sudo add-apt-repository ppa:obsproject/obs-studio
$sudo apt-get update
$sudo apt-get install obs-studio
It would lead to issue with package versions:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
obs-studio : Depends: libavcodec57 (>= 7:3.4.4) but 7:3.4.2-2 is to be installed or
libavcodec-extra57 (>= 7:3.4.4) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libavdevice57 (>= 7:3.4.4) but 7:3.4.2-2 is to be installed
Depends: libavformat57 (>= 7:3.4.4) but 7:3.4.2-2 is to be installed
Depends: libavutil55 (>= 7:3.4.4) but 7:3.4.2-2 is to be installed
Depends: libswresample2 (>= 7:3.4.4) but 7:3.4.2-2 is to be installed
Depends: libswscale4 (>= 7:3.4.4) but 7:3.4.2-2 is to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
Building from the source, clone with Git:
git clone --recursive https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio.git
...still gives me errors:
CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake-3.10/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:137 (message):
Could NOT find FFmpeg (missing: FFMPEG_AVCODEC_LIBRARIES
FFMPEG_AVCODEC_INCLUDE_DIRS avcodec avdevice avutil avformat)

Add the following libraries before running cmake and make:
$sudo apt install libavcodec-dev libavformat-dev libavdevice-dev
(ref: How to download and install ffmpeg from Launchpad?)
Next you will need:
$sudo apt-get install libmbedtls-dev
and Qt5Svg is required as well:
$sudo apt-get install libqt5svg5-dev
