<emphasis>Note: this section is out of date. GStreamer-0.10 has much better
|
|
support for win32 than previous versions though and should usually compile
|
|
and work out-of-the-box both using MSYS/MinGW or Microsoft compilers. The
|
|
<ulink url="http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org">GStreamer web site</ulink> and the
|
|
<ulink url="http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.video.gstreamer.devel">mailing list
|
|
archives</ulink> are a good place to check the latest win32-related news.

<para>There are different makefiles that can be used to build GStreamer with the usual Microsoft
|
|
compiling tools.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The Makefile is meant to be used with the GNU make program and the free
|
|
version of the Microsoft compiler (<ulink url="http://msdn.microsoft.com/visualc/vctoolkit2003/">http://msdn.microsoft.com/visualc/vctoolkit2003/</ulink>). You also
|
|
have to modify your system environment variables to use it from the command-line. You will also
|
|
need a working Platform SDK for Windows that is available for free from Microsoft.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The projects/makefiles will generate automatically some source files needed to compile
|
|
GStreamer. That requires that you have installed on your system some GNU tools and that they are
|
|
available in your system PATH.</para>

<para>The GStreamer project depends on other libraries, namely :</para>

<para>By default, GStreamer needs a registry. You have to generate it using "gst-register.exe". It will create
|
|
the file in c:\gstreamer\registry.xml that will hold all the plugins you can use.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>You should install the GStreamer core in c:\gstreamer\bin and the plugins in c:\gstreamer\plugins. Both
|
|
directories should be added to your system PATH. The library dependencies should be installed in c:\usr</para>
