Description Marcel Schilling 2021-04-25 10:03:41 UTC

I am running a system using Wayland (with Sway as the compositor) and `-X` in `/etc/make.conf`.
On that system, I was able to emerge media-video/obs-studio (after unmasking it ~amd64, to be fair), but it segfaults on start.

I am assuming this is due to lack of Wayland support in media-video/obs-studio-26.1.2 since https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio/pull/2482 list the corresponding PR for Milestone 27.0.
I also found https://bugs.gentoo.org/770970 aiming to add the respective USE flag
to the -9999 ebuild, so I assume there is no need for a trace to figure out what exactly caused the segfault.
I still think of this as a packaging bug: If OBS (as of now) requires X11, portage should no let me emerge it without pulling in X11 (or XWayland if that is a valid alternative in this case).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install OBS: emerge -1 media-video/obs-studio
2. Try launching OBS: obs

There's a pretty big re-factoring of the CMake configure parts coming up, so I'll probably handle this while adjusting things for that.

Thanks for the report!

This has probably been fixed a while ago...

Can re-open if the exact same thing is still happening, or file a new bug.

Thanks!
