| This is GStreamer, a framework for streaming media. The |
| fundamental design comes from the video pipeline at Oregon Graduate |
| Institute, as well as some ideas from DirectMedia. It's based on plug-ins |
| that will provide the various codec and other functionality. The |
| interface hopefully is generic enough for various companies (ahem, Apple) |
| to release binary codecs for Linux, until such time as they get a clue and |
| release the source. |
| |
| |
| Developer note: When building from CVS sources, you will need to run |
| autogen.sh to generate the build system files. |
| |
| GStreamer is cutting-edge stuff. To be a CVS developer, you need |
| cutting-edge tools. |
| |
| ATM, most of us have at least these versions : |
| |
| * autoconf 2.52 (NOT 2.52d) |
| * automake 1.5 |
| * libtool 1.4 |
| * pkg-config 0.8.0 |
| |
| autogen.sh will check for these versions and complain if you don't have |
| them. |
