Compiling a plugin
Locked
 
|
Hi folks,
I'm pretty new to gstreamer and programming in Linux so this is probably a pretty basic question. I have however done similar things to what I am trying to do in Directshow for Windows for what it is worth. I'm trying to develop a plugin for Gstreamer. I have the rest of my program working using Gstreamer but I need a plugin to convert the output of a special camera into something that is usable by later filters. I am trying to build a do-nothing plugin that just passes its input to the output at first but am not sure how to properly compile and install it. I am working in Ubuntu 18.10. Here's what I'm doing: Starting with code found at: https://github.com/kirankrishnappa/gst-template I use make_element <my filter's name> gsttransform to create the source files for the plugin. I changed Makefile.am to use the name of my filter. In configure.ac I changed the line AC_INIT([my-plugin-package],[1.0.0]) to reflect my plugin's name. In my .c file I changed #include <gst/controller/gstcontroller.h> to #include <gst/controller/controller.h> because it appears that this is referencing something that was in an older version of Gstreamer. In the root directory for my project I run autogen.sh. If I then run make, it declares "nothing to be done for 'all'" in my source directory. The Gstreamer documentation seems to be really good but doesn't talk about how to build a plugin and install it. Googling isn't turning up anything helpful. Are there any good guides out there that could help or do any of you see something obvious that I am missing? Thanks in advance! -- Sent from: http://gstreamer-devel.966125.n4.nabble.com/ _______________________________________________ gstreamer-devel mailing list [hidden email] https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/gstreamer-devel |

Hi,
This seems to be a very outdated fork of gst-template. You can find the official repository over at https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-template Kind regards, Niels De Graef ________________________________________ From: gstreamer-devel [[hidden email]] on behalf of j1432 [[hidden email]] Sent: Wednesday, February 13, 2019 20:51 To: [hidden email] Subject: Compiling a plugin Hi folks, I'm pretty new to gstreamer and programming in Linux so this is probably a pretty basic question.

I haven’t used gst-template yet, but I documented some steps on how to use the “gst-element-maker” tool shipped on plugins bad.
Hope it helps! Michael

Thank you for the replies! I have things compiling now and am working to
understand how to use the results in a Gstreamer program that I write. I appreciate the help that you have provided! -- Sent from: http://gstreamer-devel.966125.n4.nabble.com/ _______________________________________________ gstreamer-devel mailing list [hidden email] https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/gstreamer-devel |
