This can be required when pkgconfig is used to pick up Qt, which is
not true for gstreamer, but may be true for other subprojects.

Cross compiling GStreamer with gst-build

GStreamer can be cross compiled for various platforms using gst-build. However, only dependencies that are ported to the Meson build system will be built. It is recommended to use Cerbero to cross compile GStreamer when other external dependencies are required.

Once the toolchain is installed and a Meson cross file is created, to build GStreamer simply run for example: meson --cross-file data/cross-files/mingw_w64_x86-64.txt builddir.

Android

Requires Android API level >= 28, previous versions are missing iconv dependency.

  • Download and extract the NDK
  • Create a Meson cross file, you can use android_arm64_api28.txt as example and change CPU architectures and toolchain path using the prebuilt toolchains from the NDK.

Notes:

  • On fedora the Android NDK requires the ncurses-compat-libs package.

Windows

GStreamer can be cross compiled for Windows using mingw packaged in most distribution.

The Meson cross file mingw_w64_x86-64.txt can be used when targeting amd64 architecture, or adapted for i686 arch.

Fedora

  • Install the toolchain packages: mingw64-gcc, mingw64-gcc-c++. Fedora provides many other optional dependencies that could be installed as well. For example: mingw64-gettext, mingw64-libffi, mingw64-zlib.

Ubuntu

  • Install the toolchain package: gcc-mingw-w64.
