<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>There is now an existing package that has all these dependencies built with MSVC7.1. It exists either as precompiled librairies
|
|
and headers in both Release and Debug mode, or as the source package to build it yourself. You can
|
|
find it on <ulink url="http://mukoli.free.fr/gstreamer/deps/">http://mukoli.free.fr/gstreamer/deps/</ulink>.</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>
