Original commit message from CVS:
* added plugin_desc structures to libs, which makes their locations cached in the registry. this
speeds plugin loading considerably, especially on uninstalled versions.
* put the lib path before all others, for speed reasons.
* some fixes to adder's caps.
* added linefeeds (\n) to GST_DEBUG strings to match GST_INFO behavior. this is more sane. all
code will need to be converted. i think some perl can do this.
Original commit message from CVS:
* removal of //-style comments
* don't link plugins to core libs -- the versioning is done internally to the plugins with the plugin_info struct,
and symbol resolution is lazy, so we can always know if a plugin can be loaded by the plugin_info data. in theory.
Original commit message from CVS:
s/@GST_PLUGIN_LDFLAGS@/$(GST_PLUGIN_LDFLAGS)/
@-substitued variables variables are defined as make variables automagically,
and this gives the user the freedom to say make GST_PLUGIN_LDFLAGS=-myflag
