| 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://sourceforge.net/bugs/?group_id=1936. |
| |
| |
| Required libraries: |
| =================== |
| |
| glib2 |
| libxml2 (also called gnome-xml, available from http://xmlsoft.org/) |
| |
| These libraries are all central parts of gnome, and are available from the |
| ftp.gnome.org or its mirrors, amongst other places. |
| |
| |
| Optional libraries for Plugins: |
| ============================== |
| |
| The vast number of optional libraries that can be used for plugins are |
| listed in the REQUIREMENTS document in the gst-plugins package. |
| |
| |
| Required tools: |
| =============== |
| |
| bison >= 1.35 |
| flex |
| |
| An extra set of tools is required if you wish to build GStreamer out of |
| CVS (using autogen.sh): |
| |
| autoconf 2.52 |
| automake 1.6 |
| libtool v1.4 or better |
| pkgconfig 0.9.0 (http://www.freedesktop.org/software/pkgconfig/) |
| |
| |
| Optional tools: |
| =============== |
| |
| gtkdoc |
| db2html |
| fig2dev |
| xsltproc |
| |
| To build pdf and ps version of docs |
| =================================== |
| passivetex |
| xmltex |
| tetex-dvips |
| |
| Optional debian packages: |
| ========================= |
| |
| (This is an incomplete list, made only of problems which have been reported, |
| rather than by an audit.) |
| task-helix-gnome-dev OR libgnome-dev |
| |
| gtk-doc-tools 0.4-0.2 -- needed to build documentation |
| |
| Alternatively, the docbook-gnome-bin package, which is available by adding the |
| following lines to apt's sources.list (/etc/apt/sources.list): |
| |
| deb ftp://ftp.home-of-linux.org/pub/debian gnome/ |
| deb-src ftp://ftp.home-of-linux.org/pub/debian gnome/ |
