gst-plugins : plug-ins for GStreamer
* to develop against uninstalled GStreamer core :
add path to gstreamer-uninstalled.pc to PKG_CONFIG_PATH
or run configure --with-pkg-config-path=(path to gstreamer uninstalled)
* to register plug-ins in source tree
run gst-register --gst-plugin-path=.
* if a certain plug-in doesn't build, then redo configure with
--disable-(plug-in)
to disable it from the build
* Additional documentation :
GStreamer is developed under the terms of the LGPL (see LICENSE file for
details). Some of our plug-ins however rely on libraries which are available
under other licenses. This means that if you are using an application which
has a non-GPL compatible license (for instance a closed-source application)
with GStreamer, you have to make sure not to use GPL-linked plug-ins.
When using GPL-linked plug-ins, GStreamer is for all practical reasons
under the GPL itself.
The plug-ins which use a GPL library are as follows:
cdparanoia libcdparanoia (http://www.xiph.org/paranoia/)
aasink aalib (http://aa-project.sourceforge.net/aalib/)
