<title>Building <application>GStreamer</application> under Win32</title>
|
|
<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>
