title: Building GStreamer and GStreamer Applications

short-description: How to build the GStreamer framework and applications using it.

# Building GStreamer on UNIX
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
On UNIX, GStreamer uses the standard GNU build system, using autoconf
|
||
|
|
for package configuration and resolving portability issues, automake for
|
||
|
|
building makefiles that comply with the GNU Coding Standards, and
|
||
|
|
libtool for building shared libraries on multiple platforms. The normal
|
||
|
|
sequence for compiling and installing the GStreamer library is thus:
|
||
|
|
`./configure` `make` `make install`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The standard options provided by GNU autoconf may be passed to the
|
||
|
|
`configure` script. Please see the autoconf documentation or run
|
||
|
|
`./configure --help` for information about the standard options.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In addition there are several options to activate or deactivate
|
||
|
|
features. E.g. passing `--disable-gst-debug` to `configure` 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.)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
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.
|
||
|
|
`make CFLAGS="-DGST_REMOVE_DEPRECATED -DGST_REMOVE_DISABLED"`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- `GST_REMOVE_DEPRECATED` - Omit deprecated functions from the
|
||
|
|
library.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- `GST_REMOVE_DISABLED` - Omit stubs for disabled subsystems from the
|
||
|
|
library.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# Building GStreamer Applications
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Applications and libraries can use `pkg-config` to get all the needed
|
||
|
|
compiler and linker flags to build against GStreamer. Please note that
|
||
|
|
GStreamer is split into several libraries itself.
|
||
|
|
`pkg-config --list-all | grep gstreamer` will list the available
|
||
|
|
libraries.
