| 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/. | |
| On Debian/Ubuntu, the easiest way to install most build requirements is: | |
| sudo apt-get build-dep gst-plugins-good1.0 | |
| Required tools: | |
| =============== | |
| An extra set of tools is required if you wish to build GStreamer | |
| from git (using autogen.sh): | |
| autoconf >= 2.68 https://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/ | |
| automake >= 1.11 https://www.gnu.org/software/automake/ | |
| gettext >= 0.17 https://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/ | |
| libtool >= 2.2.6 https://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/ | |
| pkgconfig >= 0.9.0 https://www.freedesktop.org/software/pkgconfig/ | |
| Required libraries: | |
| =================== | |
| Package: GStreamer | |
| Version: 1.x (same 1.x version as this package) | |
| Recommended: Latest 1.x | |
| URL: http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/ | |
| DebianPackage: libgstreamer1.0-dev | |
| Notes: The required version is updated frequently, so the version | |
| listed in this file is often out of date. If you are compiling | |
| from git master, you will usually need GStreamer core and | |
| gst-plugins-base from git master as well. | |
| Package: GStreamer Base Plugins | |
| Version: 1.x (same 1.x version as this package) | |
| Recommended: Latest 1.x | |
| URL: http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/ | |
| DebianPackage: libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0-dev | |
| Notes: The required version is updated frequently, so the version | |
| listed in this file is often out of date. If you are compiling | |
| from git master, you will usually need GStreamer core and | |
| gst-plugins-base from git master as well. | |
| Optional libraries: | |
| =================== | |
| This file lists supporting libraries for which gst-plugins-good contains | |
| plugins, as well as their minimum required version. You can find the | |
| corresponding plugins in ext/(library) | |
| Package: Orc | |
| Version: >= 0.4.17 | |
| Recommended: Latest 0.4.x | |
| URL: http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/src/orc/ | |
| DebianPackage: liborc-0.4-dev | |
| Notes: Used by many plugins for accelerating SIMD processing using | |
| run-time generated assembly. Not a hard requirement, but | |
| highly recommended. Packagers, please hard-depend on liborc. | |
| The git repository is http://cgit.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/orc/ | |
| (all versions on entropywave.com are outdated) | |
