The problem isn't that there is no information to be found - quite the opposite there are tons of guides *all* of them conflicting. ( you need this specific version nvidia sdk, you need yasm >= 1.3, you need this specific version cuda sdk, you don't need anything ffmpeg has all the headers already )
Normally I'd just spin up a vagrant instance and try them out but it seems you'd need to have the nvidia drivers installed - so that doesn't work.
Sorting through the various guides I ended up selecting one from a user comment on GOL simply on the merit of it having the fewest steps.
the "apt-get source" step failed but apparently your supposed to grab it from git anyway..
now the 'debuild' step fails with a TON of unmet build dependencies.
Searching a bit I find that 'mk-build-deps' will produce a ".deb" with the dependencies - which is really clever as you should then be able to remove all build dependencies once you no longer need them.
but..
> sudo dpkg -i ffmpeg-build-deps_3.2.5-1_amd64.deb
whine about unmet dependencies and
> sudo apt-get -f install
just remove the package :|
since the error from dpkg -i only show the first X packages I iterate though it untill I get;
E: Unable to locate package libopenmpt-dev
TLDR;
I give up - does any one have an idiot proof guide to get this running on Mint 18 ( ubuntu 16.04 ) ?
bonus points if it is compiled in a virtual environment or it's possible to clean up build dependencies after.

On arch linux at least i just have ffmpeg installed and OBS and SSR both have nvenc listed in the configs.

Seems you are rigth.
16.04 only have 2.8 and the ppa from https://obsproject.com/download doesn't support xenial
But I did find this ppa ;
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jonathonf/ffmpeg-3
And
ffmpeg -encoders | grep nvenc
V..... h264_nvenc NVIDIA NVENC H.264 encoder (codec h264)
V..... nvenc NVIDIA NVENC H.264 encoder (codec h264)
V..... nvenc_h264 NVIDIA NVENC H.264 encoder (codec h264)
V..... nvenc_hevc NVIDIA NVENC hevc encoder (codec hevc)
V..... hevc_nvenc NVIDIA NVENC hevc encoder (codec hevc)
So the idiot proof ( or atleast guppy proof :P ) guide would be
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jonathonf/ffmpeg-3
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:obsproject/obs-studio
sudo apt update
sudo apt install ffmpeg libav-tools x264 x265 obs-studio
Now to see if I can manage to configure it .
Thanks <3
