GStreamer uses a *large* array of tools and libraries, most of which are optional. We have attempted to make sure that any code that depends on optional libraries doesn't get built unless you have those libraries. If you find this not to be the case, please, let us know by filing a bug report at http://bugzilla.gnome.org/. Required tools: =============== An extra set of tools is required if you wish to build GStreamer out of CVS (using autogen.sh): autoconf 2.52 or better automake 1.5 gettext 0.11.5 libtool v1.4 or better pkgconfig 0.9.0 or better (http://www.freedesktop.org/software/pkgconfig/) Required libraries: =================== Package: GStreamer Version: 0.10.11.2 Recommended: 0.10.latest URL: http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/ DebianPackage: libgstreamer0.10-dev Notes: The required version is updated frequently, so the version listed in this file is often wrong. If you are compiling from CVS, the required version is often the latest GStreamer CVS. Package: GStreamer Base Plugins Version: 0.10.11.2 Recommended: 0.10.latest URL: http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/ DebianPackage: libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-dev Notes: The required version is updated frequently, so the version listed in this file is often wrong. If you are compiling from CVS, the required version is often the latest GStreamer Base Plugins CVS. Package: liboil Version: >= 0.3.8 Recommended: 0.3.latest URL: http://liboil.freedesktop.org/ DebianPackage: liboil0.3-dev Optional libraries: =================== This file lists supporting libraries for which gst-plugins contains plugins, as well as their minimum version. You can find the corresponding plugins in ext/(library) Package: GTK+ Version: >= 2.0 Recommended: >= 2.2 URL: http://www.gtk.org/ DebianPackage: libgtk2.0-dev Plugins: gdkpixbuf (gdkpixbufdec, gdkpixbufscale) Notes: Also required by several examples.
