Building gstreamer package from github is failing

[evaluat0r]

Hi All,

I'm observing a build failure due to the following reason:

  CC       libgstnet_1.5_la-gstntppacket.lo
  CCLD     libgstnet-1.5.la
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lselinux
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[4]: *** [libgstnet-1.5.la] Error 1


Is selinux even necessary? Is there a way to disable the use of this
library? If it is required, what is the source package(tar ball) or github
repository? I can't seem to find much on it.

SELinux is not required by GStreamer and also not used directly by
GStreamer. This must come from some other library on your system that
depends on SELinux and is used by GStreamer, but you don't have the
SELinux development files available.

Also the official GStreamer GIT repositories are here:
https://cgit.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/
and mirrored here:
https://github.com/gstreamer


What you're building looks like the incompatible version provided by
Kurento. For any problems with that version, please contact them.
