Arch Linux User Repository

Thank you for your contributions, @lilydjwg & @trinitronx.

Hi, please move wlroots from depends to makedepends. It doesn't depend on any particular wlroots once built, and some wlroots packages (e.g. wlroots0.17 in [extra]) don't provides wlroots.

This build error was a result of both -Wall (as shipped in libobs.pc pkg-config's Cflags), and setting _FORTIFY_SOURCE > 0 (which enables the warn_unused_result function attribute on ftruncate()). Arch Linux's devtools previously set it to 2 by default, but recently upgraded it to level 3 (-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=3 in /usr/share/devtools/makepkg.conf.d/x86_64*.conf).

Upstream has pushed a fix in b8668b4d6d6d. I can verify that this now builds without the unused-result warning & error (with -Wall).

please add export CFLAGS="-Wno-error" in build() for the moment since meson setup build -Dwerror=false doesn't work

Yes, because obs-studio ships -Werror in their .pc files. The user needs to remove them to build.

However, I only occasionally get it to compile successfully according to the upstream instructions. And even if I added additional build flags(see issue), I still got the following error:

The same compilation error also occurs in AUR wlrobs.

It doesn't seem necessary to depend wlroots at runtime?

Having a systematic segmentation fault at start after adding scpy or dmabuf in a scene (obs stable and wlrobs-hg)

Needs to uninstall hg; launch obs; delete from scene; reinstall hg; reboot obs. To get OBS working

It looks like this compiles fine with the obs-studio package again, no need for obs-studio-git anymore. This finally includes wayland preview support.

Note: Since commit 5f1c794e4614, you need to build this against an obs-studio with commit 7867d16, which while I was writing this isn't available in the [community]'s 26.1.2-1. So build it against obs-studio-git for now.
