GStreamer [meson](http://mesonbuild.com/) based repositories aggregrator
|
||||
|
||||
You can build GStreamer and all its component at once using
|
||||
meson and its "subproject" feature.
|
||||
You can build GStreamer and all its modules at once using
|
||||
meson and its [subproject](https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/wiki/Subprojects) feature.
|
||||
|
||||
## Getting started
|
||||
|
||||
We have an helper script to get started, will get the right [meson](http://mesonbuild.com/)
|
||||
version and get you ready to build. You can just get all GStreamer built running:
|
||||
### Install meson and ninja
|
||||
|
||||
You should get meson through your package manager or using:
|
||||
|
||||
$ pip3 install --user meson
|
||||
|
||||
You should get `ninja` using your package manager or downloading it from
|
||||
[here](https://github.com/ninja-build/ninja/releases).
|
||||
|
||||
### Build GStreamer and its modules
|
||||
|
||||
You can get all GStreamer built running:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
mkdir build/ && meson build && ninja -C build/
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
NOTE: on fedora (and maybe other distributions) replace `ninja` with `ninja-build`
|
||||
|
||||
# Development environment
|
||||
|
||||
gst-build also contains a special `uninstalled` target that lets you enter an
|
||||
uninstalled development environment where you will be able to work on GStreamer easily.
|
||||
You can get into that environment running:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
./configure && ninja -C build/
|
||||
ninja -C build/ uninstalled
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## GStreamer uninstalled
|
||||
|
||||
gst-build also contains a special `uninstalled` target that lets you enter
|
||||
an uninstalled development environment where you will be able
|
||||
to work on GStreamer easily.
|
||||
|
||||
Inside that environment you will find the GStreamer modules
|
||||
in subprojects/, you can simply hack in there and to rebuild you
|
||||
just need to rerun `ninja`.
|
||||
|
||||
If your operating system handles symlinks, built modules source code will be available
|
||||
at the root of `gst-build/` for example GStreamer core will be in `gstreamer/`. Otherwise
|
||||
they will be present in `subprojects/`. You can simply hack in there and to rebuild you
|
||||
just need to rerun `ninja -C build/`.
