Building 1.10.4 from source on ubuntu 16.04

[jopado]

Trying to build from source using this link as a guide:
https://askubuntu.com/questions/723723/

I install the dependencies and get on with the build see attached log file. I assume the git related messages at the start can be safely ignored (I grabbed the source via wget https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/src/gstreamer/gstreamer-1.10.4.tar.xz.

In a nutshell I run:
./autogen.sh followed by make (all output in attached log).

When finished I run a couple command to validate:

    joe@joelaptop:/usr/local/src/gstreamer-1.10.4$ ./tools/gst-launch-1.0 -v fakesrc num_buffers=5 ! fakesink
    ERROR: pipeline could not be constructed: no element "fakesrc".

    joe@joelaptop:/usr/local/src/gstreamer-1.10.4$ ./tools/gst-inspect-1.0
    staticelements:  bin: Generic bin
    staticelements:  pipeline: Pipeline object

    Total count: 1 plugin, 2 features

What am I missing??? I tried building 1.8.3 from source with the same result.  Any and all guidance appreciated.gstreamer-build-log.txt

[Maurer, Martin]

Try "videotestsrc" instead of "fakesrc"

Hi Martin -

Thanks for looking. Same result with videotstsrc:

joe@joelaptop:/usr/local/src/gstreamer-1.10.4$ ./tools/gst-launch-1.0 -v videotestsrc num_buffers=5 ! fakesink
ERROR: pipeline could not be constructed: no element "videotestsrc".

The gst-inspect output indicates there are almost no elements present. Don't know what to make of it.

Thanks,

Joe

Hi Joe,

in my environment (different version of gstreamer, different OS) I have

Total count: 164 plugins, 1243 features

Much more than you.

Could it be you are missing the other source packages?

I'm assuming that by building gstreamer-1.10.4 , I will get a basic set of core elements (like fakesrc, videotestsrc, etc) independent from any additional element supplied by gst-plugins-*.  Is this assumption correct? One of the things I tried is to install the gstreamer base as I have shown here and then built and installed gst-plugins-base-1.10.4.tar.xz. Result was the same. I'm still .

I did grab the source from the link you provided - same result.
