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: =================== The core GStreamer libraries. See the gstreamer/ module in GStreamer cvs, or the version that corresponds to this plugin release. 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. Optional libraries: =================== This file lists supporting libraries for which gst-plugins-base contains plugins, as well as their minimum version. You can find the corresponding plugins in ext/(library) Package: Orc Version: >= 0.4.5 Recommended: 0.4.latest URL: http://code.entropywave.com/orc DebianPackage: liborc-0.4-dev Package: GTK+ Version: >= 2.0 Recommended: >= 2.2 URL: http://www.gtk.org/ DebianPackage: libgtk2.0-dev Notes: Required by several examples Package: Xlib Plugins: xvimagesink, ximagesink, v4l (v4lsrc), ximagesrc DebianPackage: libx11-dev libxv-dev libxt-dev Package: Alsa Version: >= 0.9.1 Plugins: alsa (alsasrc, alsasink) URL: http://www.alsa-project.org/ DebianPackage: libasound2-dev Package: CDParanoia Plugins: cdparanoia URL: http://xiph.org/paranoia/ DebianPackage: libcdparanoia0-dev Package: libvisual Version: >= 0.2.0 Recommended: 0.4.0 Plugins: libvisual URL: http://localhost.nl/~synap/libvisual-wiki/index.php/Main_Page DebianPackage: libvisual0.4-dev Package: Ogg Version: >= 1.0 Plugins: ogg (oggdemux, oggmux) URL: http://xiph.org/ogg/ DebianPackage: libogg-dev Package: Pango Plugins: pango DebianPackage: libpango1.0-dev URL: http://www.pango.org/ Package: Theora Plugins: theora (theoradec, theoraenc) URL: http://www.theora.org/ DebianPackage: libtheora-dev Package: Vorbis Plugins: vorbis (vorbisdec, vorbisenc) DebianPackage: libvorbis-dev URL: http://www.vorbis.com/
