Dev environment question

Hello,

I have a question about how folks set up their dev environment for gstreamer.

Currently, I use Eclipse IDE CDT to view, edit and search code. Overkill, perhaps,
but it works for me.  To build, I run

make && sudo make install

then gst-launch to run the code.

Is it possible to skip the "make install" step before running the modified code ? 

It does slow down my code - build -test cycle.

Thanks,

Aaron

Netbeans also works pretty well.

Yes, had good experience with NetBeans. Eclipse has some

great refactoring tools.

Sure. You can do

export GST_PLUGIN_PATH=/home/aaron/build/gst-plugins-bad

to make GStreamer look for extra plugins there. It will/should then pick up things from your build tree.

We also have a so-called "uninstalled" setup for dev purposes.

For the old one based on autotools see https://cgit.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/tree/scripts/create-uninstalled-setup.sh

For the new one based on Meson, see the gst-build module in git (you can run 'ninja uninstalled' there to get into the uninstalled environment once you've run meson).

Cheers

-Tim

So, where to the bad plugins normally go, when I run make install ?

Some input here as well in the blog post "Setting up development env" from https://singhcodes.wordpress.com/ . It also includes how to setup mesa and "nouveau" hw decoding within the gst-uninstalled env.

One more question, what about using gdb? Currently, when I get a Sigsev and I am prompted to start gdb, the program hangs. Do I need to build with debug symbols turned on ?
