| 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| listed in this file is often out of date.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| listed in this file is often out of date.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. |
