<title>Building GStreamer on UNIX</title>
|
|
|
|
<!-- this has been borrowed from the glib docs -->
|
|
<para>
|
|
On UNIX, GStreamer uses the standard GNU build system,
|
|
using <application>autoconf</application> for package
|
|
configuration and resolving portability issues,
|
|
<application>automake</application> for building makefiles
|
|
that comply with the GNU Coding Standards, and
|
|
<application>libtool</application> for building shared
|
|
libraries on multiple platforms. The normal sequence for
|
|
compiling and installing the GStreamer library is thus:
|
|
|
|
<literallayout>
|
|
<userinput>./configure</userinput>
|
|
<userinput>make</userinput>
|
|
<userinput>make install</userinput>
|
|
</literallayout>
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
The standard options provided by <application>GNU
|
|
autoconf</application> may be passed to the
|
|
<command>configure</command> script. Please see the
|
|
<application>autoconf</application> documentation or run
|
|
<command>./configure --help</command> for information about
|
|
the standard options.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
In addition there are several option to activate or deactivate features.
|
|
E.g. passing <option>--disable-gst-debug</option> to <command>configure</command>
|
|
will turn the debugging subsystem into non-functional stub and remove all
|
|
macro based invokations from within the library (and anything compiled
|
|
against the library afterwards)
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
If library size matters and one builds in a controlled environment, its also
|
|
possible to totaly remove sybsystem code. This is intetionally not offered
|
|
as a configure option as it causes an ABI break. Code build against a
|
|
version of GStreamer without these modifications needs to be recompiled.
|
|
|
|
<literallayout>
|
|
<userinput>make CFLAGS="-DGST_REMOVE_DEPRECATED -DGST_REMOVE_DISABLED"</userinput>

<title>Building GStreamer Applications</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
Applications and libraries can use <command>pkg-config</command> to get all the
|
|
needed compiler and linker flags building against GStreamer. Please note that
|
|
GStreamer is split into several libraries itself.
|
|
<command>pkg-config --list-all | grep gstreamer</command> will list the
|
|
available libraries.
