How to build textoverlay in gst-build

[peter12]

I have built the gst-build in my ubuntu to work with the Gstreamer 1.18.1
version.

meson build
ninja -C build
ninja -C build devenv

The problem is that I can't get the textoverlay plugin and I don't know why.

gst-inspect-1.0 textoverlay
No such element or plugin 'textoverlay'

So, how could I get that plugin?

Hi peter,

You are likely missing system dependencies needed by textoverlay. The
log messages talking about this are likely lost in the barrage of
meson output.

To enforce that you want the textoverlay plugin, you can build with:

meson build -Dgst-plugins-base:pango=enabled

Then meson will error out when it encounters a missing dependency
that's required for the textoverlay plugin (which uses pango).

Cheers,
Nirbheek
