Expected Behavior

I just SOLVED the following issue by changing ONE line in PKGBUILD:

Change the line with "-DBUILD_BROWSER=ON \" to

    -DENABLE_BROWSER=ON \

Original Post:

I saw someone else reported this, https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio/issues/11227 but I'm going to try to provide some additional information because I have 2 PCs and on PC #1, I did all of my updates on 2024-08-24 then Built OBS and it WORKS FINE.

The Log URL above is from my WORKING OBS!!

Yesterday, I did all of my updates on PC #2, and then Built OBS. It Builds and works but there is NO Browser Source!

So, just now, I tried a Build on PC #1 (where my OBS works!!) and I see this in my Build:

                      _                   _             _ _       
                 ___ | |__  ___       ___| |_ _   _  __| (_) ___  
                / _ \| '_ \/ __|_____/ __| __| | | |/ _` | |/ _ \ 
               | (_) | |_) \__ \_____\__ \ |_| |_| | (_| | | (_) |

Current Behavior

On PC #1

The OBS build I did on 2024-08-24 works fine with all my browser sources.
If I go to build it today, the currently working obs-browser module will be disabled.
I have not updated any other binaries on this machine since 2024-08-24. I built OBS that day and it still works fine.

On PC #2

I already built OBS and it works but has no browser sources, because the obs-browser module is disabled.
As far as I can tell, all of my related binaries are the same.

Steps to Reproduce

Currently building OBS will result in a disabled obs-browser module. It worked fine last week with all other binaries (to my knowledge) being the same.

Anything else we should know?

If you want any additional info, please let me know. I'm happy to help.

This sounds more likely to be a support request rather than a bug report, and we are not currently accepting support requests on GitHub Issues. Please use our forums or Discord for further assistance.

@tytan652 I know you guys are super busy, but how is this not a bug report? If you changed something in the code and parts of the program no longer work, then why would that be a support request?

And the reason I go to the trouble to post details is to help others, not just myself. =)

tytan652 commented 2 weeks ago

but how is this not a bug report?

You are building the master branch that can have major changes on how the program and/or the buildsystem. This is not a bug, the issue is that maintaining -git packages requires the maintainer to keep up with how the master branch behave. Which is not an easy task.

So it falls under support for people building their own build and on the packager for the -git package.

@tytan652 thanks for your reply. That makes sense now.
