How can we compile GStreamer for ARM

Hello,

I hope to compile GStreammer for ARM. But I don't know how to compile? Please help me.

Thanks

use a cross-compilation toolchain. I'm sure google can help you (for
example http://www.scratchbox.org/, but there are certainly other
toolchain)

So, I think that you have to:

1) set up the toolchain
2) compile the dependencies (iconv, glib, etc...) for the arm target
3) compile gstreamer for the arm target

As an example, I plan to have gstreamer on Windows CE devices with cegcc.

Is glib buildable on WinCE therese days?

I've not tried yet. I'm stick on another set of libs before i go to
gstreamer. Which means iconv then glib.

I wonder which settings are best for embedded (configure options)

For testing... I wouldn't disable much else you'll find it hard to
debug.

Otherwise for production usage:
--disable-gst-debug (you'll save some cpu/memory)
--disable-loadsave (really not needed)
--disable-parse (remove gst_parse_* features)
--disable-option-parsing (not needed if you're going to be using just
the library).

That should slim it down enough. Oh, and CFLAGS="-Os" will optimize
the resulting library size.
And obviously only compile/install the plugins you need :)

Hello,

Thanks for your reply.

Now, the problem is that we do not use X server at all in our embedded system. In this case, is it possible for us to compile without any errors?

Thanks!

It should be. Please let us know about errors you encounter (best via bugzilla).
Most of us who build on linux have X and there might be error that we simply
never get.

as I plan to port gst to Windows CE (and as gst compiles on Windows), you
can compile it without having X11 at all. Some sinks requires X11
(x*imagesink, the opengl one, maybe others).

I've added a page in the wiki with my notes for compiling in ARM.

http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/wiki/HowToCompileForEmbedded

I use --with-html-dir=/tmp/dump to avoid installing the documentation
on the target, and --disable-static to avoid static libraries.

Since I'm using this build for development purposes I keep the debugging stuff.

Best regards.
