| GStreamer uses a *large* array of tools and libraries, most of which are |
| optional. We have attempted to make sure that any code that depends on |
| optional libraries doesn't get built unless you have those libraries. If |
| you find this not to be the case, please, let us know by filing a bug |
| report at http://bugzilla.gnome.org/. |
| |
| |
| Required tools: |
| =============== |
| |
| An extra set of tools is required if you wish to build GStreamer out of |
| CVS (using autogen.sh): |
| |
| autoconf 2.52 or better |
| automake 1.5 |
| gettext 0.11.5 |
| libtool v1.4 or better |
| pkgconfig 0.9.0 or better (http://www.freedesktop.org/software/pkgconfig/) |
| |
| Required libraries: |
| =================== |
| |
| The core GStreamer libraries. See the gstreamer/ module in GStreamer cvs, or |
| the version that corresponds to this plugin release. |
| |
| Optional libraries: |
| =================== |
