gstreamer-sharp is a .NET/mono binding for Gstreamer
generated from gobject-introspection data using the [bindinator].
gstreamer-sharp currently wraps the API exposed by Gstreamer 1.12
and is compatible with newer gstreamer versions. It was developed
under GSoC 2014 for the mono organization. gstreamer-sharp covers
the core and base gstreamer libraries.

Prerequisites
----
These libraries are needed for clutter-sharp to compile:
* gstreamer core, base and good 1.4 or higher
2017-08-24 14:47:52 +00:00
* [gtk-sharp] 3.22.6 or higher - *NOTE: This can be built as a meson subproject if using the meson build system.*

You will also need various .NET/mono bits (mcs and al). On debian-based distros
you can install these with:
sudo apt-get install mono-mcs mono-devel

HACKING
-------
2017-08-24 14:47:52 +00:00
While hacking on the code generator or the `.metadata` files, you will
need to force code regeneration with `ninja update-code`, a full rebuild
is triggered right after.

Updating to new GStreamer version
--------------------------------
* Make sure [bindinator] is installed on the system
Make sure you are in an environement where latest `.gir` files are available (either install
or through the `$GI_TYPELIB_PATH` env var).
ninja -C update-all
* Verify newly generated code and `git add` files in `sources/generated/` and `ges/generated`
* Commit

* Linux
* Mac OS X
Quick Start
----

gstreamer-sharp provides ports of all samples from gst-docs in the samples folder.

Documentation
----
2017-08-24 14:47:52 +00:00
2017-09-05 01:04:35 +00:00
Since this is a gobject-introspection binding the recommended documentation is
the native [gstreamer] documentation. A monodoc generated documentation will be installed.

Roadmap
----
* Add an easy way to compile on Windows
* iOS and Android support
* Provide binaries for these platforms
