How to build example plugin without installing gstreamer

I am learning how to write a gstreamer plugin. I got the example plugin from git, and unfortunately failed to build it -- no gstreamer installed. On the machine I am working I don't have root privileges and cannot install gstreamer. I downloaded gstreamer and compiled it in my home folder. My question is how do I tell makefiles to look for those libraries in my home folder? Which config file should I be editing?

Any pointers will be appreciated.
thanx

Re: How to build example plugin without installing gstreamer

You can try to work with uninstalled-gstreamer: http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/doc/gstreamer/head/faq/html/chapter-developing.html#developing-uninstalled-gstreamer

when in your uninstalled:
use the cflags from: pkg-config gstreamer-0.10 gstreamer-plugins-base-0.10 --cflags
use the libs from: pkg-config gstreamer-0.10 gstreamer-plugins-base-0.10 --libs

Re: How to build example plugin without installing gstreamer

This is the makefile I am using: http://pastebin.ca/1491706 based on Tiago Katcipis Makefiles.
It seems to be ok nevertheless when I execute make this is the result:
/home/miki/gstreamer//git/gstreamer/pkgconfig/../gst/libgstreamer-0.10.la: file not recognized: File format not recognized

Where libgstreamer-0.10.la comes from "pkg-config gstreamer-0.10 gstreamer-plugins-base-0.10 --libs" and asking on #gstreamer
.la is libtool related, anybody knows how to solve this?

Thanks

Re: How to build example plugin without installing gstreamer

Doesn't it work if you simply ./configure --prefix=/home/you/gst/ and
then set PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/home/you/gst/lib/pkgconfig when building
plugins?

Re: How to build example plugin without installing gstreamer

In my case I am not writing a plugin, I am trying to compile an own application
using apsink and an uninstalled gstreamer.

2009/7/11 Philip Jägenstedt <[hidden email]>

Doesn't it work if you simply ./configure --prefix=/home/you/gst/ and
then set PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/home/you/gst/lib/pkgconfig when building
plugins?

You can install GStreamer into your home directory if you
like, no root privileges required. In that case you would need to set
PKG_CONFIG_PATH to the pkgconfig directory with the GStreamer .pc files,
and possibly also LD_LIBRARY_PATH to the lib directory with all the
libraries.

If set up correctly,

pkg-config --cflags gstreamer-0.10

should show the includes in your home directory.

Cheers

Re: How to build example plugin without installing gstreamer

Thank you all for replies.When I set pkgconfig's path, configure works fine but I get these errors when I do make. I understand what error says, but not sure how to solve the problem :) Any ideas? Thanks

../libtool: line 459: CDPATH: command not found
../libtool: line 1262: func_opt_split: command not found
libtool: Version mismatch error. This is libtool 2.2, but the
libtool: definition of this LT_INIT comes from an older release.
libtool: You should recreate aclocal.m4 with macros from libtool 2.2
libtool: and run autoconf again.
make[2]: *** [libgstplugin_la-gstplugin.lo] Error 63

Re: How to build example plugin without installing gstreamer

Well, I tried a lot of things and finally gave up on libtool and its friends. I wrote a static Makefile with all proper gcc switches. It compiles, links just fine. So static Makefiles FTW!
