gst-plugins-rs/README.md
Guillaume Desmottes 8bc2e5ebb8 use cargo-c to produce cdy and static libs
cargo-c will produce a pkg-config file making it easier to statically
link plugins.

Also add 'static' features for plugins depending on < 1.14 as this is the
minimal required version to use static linking because of ABI changes in
core.

# gst-plugins-rs [![crates.io](https://img.shields.io/crates/v/gst-plugin.svg)](https://crates.io/crates/gst-plugin) [![pipeline status](https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-plugins-rs/badges/master/pipeline.svg)](https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-plugins-rs/commits/master)
Repository containing various [GStreamer](https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/)
plugins and elements written in the [Rust programming
language](https://www.rust-lang.org/).
The plugins build upon the [GStreamer Rust bindings](https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer-rs).
Check the README.md of that repository also for details about how to set-up
your development environment.
## Plugins
You will find the following plugins in this repository:
* `generic`
- `file`: A Rust implementation of the standard `filesrc` and `filesink`
elements
- `sodium`: Elements to perform encryption and decryption using
[libsodium](https://libsodium.org).
- `threadshare`: Some popular threaded elements reimplemented using common
thread-sharing infrastructure.
* `net`
- `reqwest`: An HTTP source element based on the
[reqwest](https://github.com/seanmonstar/reqwest) library.
- `rusoto`: A source and sink plugin to talk to the Amazon S3 object
storage system using the [Rusoto](https://rusoto.org) library.
* `audio`
- `audiofx`: Plugins to apply audio effects to a stream (such as adding
echo/reverb, [removing noise](https://jmvalin.ca/demo/rnnoise/) or normalization).
- `claxon`: A FLAC decoder based on the
[Claxon](https://github.com/ruuda/claxon) library.
- `csound`: A plugin to implement audio effects using the
[Csound](https://csound.com/) library.
- `lewton`: A Vorbis decoder based on the
[lewton](https://github.com/RustAudio/lewton) library.
* `video`
- `cdg`: A parser and renderer for
[CD+G karaoke data](https://docs.rs/cdg/0.1.0/cdg/).
- `closedcaption`: Plugins to deal with several closed caption formats
(MCC, SCC, EIA-608/CEA-608 and timed text).
- `dav1d`: AV1 decoder based on the
[dav1d](https://code.videolan.org/videolan/dav1d) library.
- `flavors`: FLV demuxer based on the
[flavors](https://github.com/rust-av/flavors) library.
- `gif`: A GIF encoder based on the
[gif](https://github.com/image-rs/image-gif) library.
- `rav1e`: AV1 encoder based on the [rav1e](https://github.com/xiph/rav1e)
library.
* `utils`
- `fallbackswitch`: Aggregator element that allows falling back to a
different sink pad after a timeout.
- `togglerecord`: Element to enable starting and stopping multiple
streams together.
## Building
gst-plugins-rs relies on [cargo-c](https://github.com/lu-zero/cargo-c/) to
generate shared and static C libraries. It can be installed using:
```
$ cargo install cargo-c
```
Then you can easily build and test a specific plugin:
```
$ cargo cbuild --manifest-path video/cdg/Cargo.toml
$ GST_PLUGIN_PATH=$GST_PLUGIN_PATH:target/debug gst-inspect-1.0 cdgdec
```
The plugin can also be installed system-wide:
```
$ cargo cbuild --manifest-path video/cdg/Cargo.toml --prefix=/usr
$ cargo cinstall --manifest-path video/cdg/Cargo.toml --prefix=/usr
```
This will install the plugin to `/usr/lib/gstreamer-1.0`.
You can use `--libdir` to pass a custom `lib` directory
such as `/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu` for example.
Note that you can also just use `cargo` directly to build Rust static libraries
and shared C libraries. `cargo-c` is mostly useful to build static C libraries
and generate `pkg-config` files.
