Original commit message from CVS: registry handling changes read up on it in docs/random/thomasvs/registry if interested net effect should be transparent; ie. it will keep on working, but will be more flexible than before. Testing with garnome seems to work now. Should probably be rewritten completely, together with plugin loading, but only after we spec it out ;) It's a bit messy.

This is GStreamer, a framework for streaming media. The
|
|
fundamental design comes from the video pipeline at Oregon Graduate
|
|
Institute, as well as some ideas from DirectMedia. It's based on plug-ins
|
|
that will provide the various codec and other functionality. The
|
|
interface hopefully is generic enough for various companies (ahem, Apple)
|
|
to release binary codecs for Linux, until such time as they get a clue and
|
|
release the source.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Developer note: When building from CVS sources, you will need to run
|
|
autogen.sh to generate the build system files.
|
|
|
|
GStreamer is cutting-edge stuff. To be a CVS developer, you need
|
|
cutting-edge tools.
|
|
|
|
ATM, most of us have at least these versions :
|
|
|
|
* autoconf 2.52 (NOT 2.52d)
|
|
* automake 1.5
|
|
* libtool 1.4
|
|
* pkg-config 0.8.0
|
|
|
|
autogen.sh will check for these versions and complain if you don't have
|
|
them.
|
|
|
|
Check autogen.sh options by running autogen.sh --help
|
|
|
|
autogen.sh can pass on arguments to configure - you just need to separate them
|
|
from autogen.sh with -- between the two.
|
|
prefix has been added to autogen.sh but will be passed on to configure because
|
|
some build scripts like that.
