gstreamer-sharp ========= 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 gstreamer-sharp to compile: * gstreamer core, base and good 1.14 or higher * [gtk-sharp] 3.22.0 or higher - *NOTE: This can be built as a meson subproject.* 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 Building ---- meson build && ninja -C build/ Installing ---- This package is not installed as part of the system. It should either be built into a Nuget or used as a subproject like this. For example, with meson, one would use it like this: subproject('gstreamer-sharp', default_options: ['install=false']) gst_sharp = subproject('gstreamer-sharp') gst_sharp_dep = gst_sharp.get_variable('gst_sharp_dep') HACKING ------- 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 you are in an environement where latest `.gir` files are available (either installed or through the `$GI_TYPELIB_PATH` env var), those files are automatically copied to `girs/`. ninja -C update-all * Verify newly copied gir files in `girs/` and `git add` them * Verify newly generated code and `git add` files in `sources/generated/` and `ges/generated` * Commit Supported Platforms ---- * Linux * Mac OS X Quick Start ---- gstreamer-sharp provides ports of all samples from gst-docs in the samples folder. Documentation ---- 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 License ---- gstreamer-sharp is licensed under the [LGPL 2.1](https://www.gnu.org/licenses/lgpl-2.1.html) [bindinator]:https://github.com/GLibSharp/bindinator [gtk-sharp]:https://github.com/GLibSharp/GtkSharp [gstreamer]: http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/doc/gstreamer/head/gstreamer/html/
