These options allow to select a set of features from a given
plugin with the following syntax:
-Dgst-full-plugins=plugin1;plugin10
-Dgst-full-elements=plugin2:element1,element2
-Dgst-full-typefind-functions=plugins3:func
-Dgst-full-device-providers=plugin4,dp1
-Dgst-full-dynamic-types=plugin5:dt1
By default all the enabled plugin are registered and
gst-full-plugins will allow to include only a set of plugin
If a feature(element, typefind etc.) is selected from a plugin,
the plugin is removed from the plugins list.

These get added to *all* subprojects, including ones we do not
maintain such as ffmpeg which then emits thousands of warnings that
completely overwhelm the compile output.
We will add these in each gstreamer subproject separately.

In a fully static link where an app link with gstreamer-full
the gst_init_static_plugins can be discarded because
no one references it.
Indeed the symbol is looked up by gst_init to call if it exists
and so it is not clearly referenced.
In order to avoid this issue, we use the linker flag
--undefined=gst_init_static_plugins to keep
the symbol.

Can be used to control the exact symbols exported, or not, in
libgstreamer-full.
This is useful when building a tailored libgstreamer-full aimed
to be run with some specific binaries. By using such version script
one can reduce the size of the generated lib by letting the linker
garbage collect all the unused APIs.

That header is not needed any more because gst_init() now calls
gst_init_static_plugins() automatically when available.
This is an API break compared to 1.18, but release notes made it clear
it was an experimental feature.

If a static build is requested and x264 plugin has been enabled
the full link fails with:
/usr/bin/ld: subprojects/x264/libx264.a(cabac-a.o): relocation
R_X86_64_PC32 against symbol `x264_cabac_range_lps' can not be used when
making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC

Latest libnice requires 0.52, so it probably makes sense to
update the meson requirement in gst-build for that, so we
have good out-of-the-box developer experience for people,
with webrtc working out of the box.
Might also make it easier to backport things later.

This is a workaround for a Meson bug that incorrectly trigger
reconfigure when files change in build directory. This commit can be
reverted once GStreamer depends on Meson >=0.54.0.
See https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/pull/6770Fixes: #85
When building with -Ddefault_library=static, also build a single library
containing all built plugins. Any external dependencies are still
dynamically linked.
A monolithic library is easier to distribute, and in some envs like
Android is required.
Enable following warnings
- unused variable
- unhandled enum value in switch/case
Those warnings might cause build error on CI pipeline, but not enabled
by default. For development environment, let's enable them to save
CI (and developer's time) resource.
Fixes: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-build/issues/31
In the case of wine, the env can not be uninstalled, also developers
do not necessiraly care about the fact that it is "uninstalled", the
important thing is that it is a development environment, meaning
that they can work on GStreamer or with GStreamer in the environment.
I still keep the `uninstalled` target to avoid changing people's
habits for now.
People should not run `meson` on gst-build inside the uninstalled env.
It will cause problems because meson will detect the already-built
libraries and pkg-config files.
This is not obvious to people, and they often make this mistake.
This means we can use some newer features and get rid of some
boilerplate code using the G_DECLARE_* macros.
As discussed on IRC, 2.44 is old enough by now to start depending on it.
