Building gstreamer for ARM

[Rodney Dowdall]

What dependency causes gstreamer to require a 2.10 version of glibc?  I thought it might be the register_printf_* calls, but getting rid of those didn't seem to get rid of the dependency.  I am trying to compile gstreamer for arm, and the board I have only has a 2.9 version of glibc.

Thanks,
Rodney

You are mistaken.  GStreamer does not require any particular
version of glibc.  Any software compiled against glibc-2.10 headers
might require 2.10 at runtim, however.

Cool.  That's good to know.  Is there a reason why the objdump for

libgstreamer-0.10.so.0 would report that it requires GLIBC_2.10?  The
other libraries that I have built with the same compiler only list that
it needs GLIBC_2.4.

Attached is the objdump output.

Does anyone know of hand if there anyway I can remove the 2.10
dependency through a configure option, or a compiler flag?  Or at least
force it to a smaller version number that I specify?

Thanks,
Rodney

If anyone else is having issues with a glibc version dependency, if you pass in --disable-gst-debug when configuring gstreamer, it removes the requirement for the specific version of glibc that you are compiling against.

Thanks,
Rodney
