# Cross compiling GStreamer with gst-build
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GStreamer can be cross compiled for various platforms using gst-build. However,
|
|
|
|
|
only dependencies that are ported to the Meson build system will be built. It is
|
|
|
|
|
recommended to use Cerbero to cross compile GStreamer when other external
|
|
|
|
|
dependencies are required.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Once the toolchain is installed and a Meson cross file is created, to build

|
GStreamer simply run for example: `meson --cross-file data/cross-files/mingw_w64_x86-64.txt builddir`.

## Android
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Requires Android API level >= 28, previous versions are missing *iconv* dependency.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Download and extract the [NDK](https://developer.android.com/ndk/)
|
|
|
|
|
- Create a Meson cross file, you can use `android_arm64_api28.txt` as example
|

|
|
|
and change CPU architectures and toolchain path using the prebuilt toolchains
|
|
|
|
|
from the NDK.

|
Notes:
|
|
|
|
|
- On fedora the Android NDK requires the `ncurses-compat-libs` package.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Windows
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GStreamer can be cross compiled for Windows using mingw packaged in most
|
|
|
|
|
distribution.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Meson cross file `mingw_w64_x86-64.txt` can be used when targeting amd64
|
|
|
|
|
architecture, or adapted for i686 arch.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Fedora
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Install the toolchain packages: `mingw64-gcc`, `mingw64-gcc-c++`. Fedora
|
|
|
|
|
provides many other optional dependencies that could be installed as well.
|
|
|
|
|
For example: `mingw64-gettext`, `mingw64-libffi`, `mingw64-zlib`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Ubuntu
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Install the toolchain package: `gcc-mingw-w64`.
