| <p> |
| On UNIX, GStreamer uses the standard GNU build system, |
| using <span class="application">autoconf</span> for package |
| configuration and resolving portability issues, |
| <span class="application">automake</span> for building makefiles |
| that comply with the GNU Coding Standards, and |
| <span class="application">libtool</span> for building shared |
| libraries on multiple platforms. The normal sequence for |
| compiling and installing the GStreamer library is thus: |
| |
| </p> |
| <div class="literallayout"><p><br> |
| <strong class="userinput"><code>./configure</code></strong><br> |
| <strong class="userinput"><code>make</code></strong><br> |
| <strong class="userinput"><code>make install</code></strong><br> |
| </p></div> |
| <p> |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| The standard options provided by <span class="application">GNU |
| autoconf</span> may be passed to the |
| <span class="command"><strong>configure</strong></span> script. Please see the |
| <span class="application">autoconf</span> documentation or run |
| <span class="command"><strong>./configure --help</strong></span> for information about |
| the standard options. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| In addition there are several options to activate or deactivate features. |
| E.g. passing <code class="option">--disable-gst-debug</code> to <span class="command"><strong>configure</strong></span> |
| will turn the debugging subsystem into a non-functional stub and remove all |
| macro based invocations from within the library (and anything compiled |
| against the library afterwards.) |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| If library size matters and one builds in a controlled environment, it is |
| also possible to totally remove subsystem code. This is intentionally not |
| offered as a configure option as it causes an ABI break. Code built against |
| a version of GStreamer without these modifications needs to be recompiled. |
| |
| </p> |
| <div class="literallayout"><p><br> |
| <strong class="userinput"><code>make CFLAGS="-DGST_REMOVE_DEPRECATED -DGST_REMOVE_DISABLED"</code></strong><br> |
| </p></div> |
| <p> |
| |
| </p> |
| <div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; "> |
| <li class="listitem"><p> |
| <span class="symbol">GST_REMOVE_DEPRECATED</span> - Omit deprecated functions |
| from the library. |
| </p></li> |
| <li class="listitem"><p> |
| <span class="symbol">GST_REMOVE_DISABLED</span> - Omit stubs for disabled |
| subsystems from the library. |
| </p></li> |
| </ul></div> |
| <p> |
| </p> |
| </div> |
| <div class="refsect1"> |
| <a name="id-1.2.5.4"></a><h2>Building GStreamer Applications</h2> |
| <p> |
| Applications and libraries can use <span class="command"><strong>pkg-config</strong></span> to get all the |
| needed compiler and linker flags to build against GStreamer. Please note that |
| GStreamer is split into several libraries itself. |
| <span class="command"><strong>pkg-config --list-all | grep gstreamer</strong></span> will list the |
| available libraries. |
