Newbie - compiling GStreamer

[Ian Davidson]

I have installed

• gstreamer 0.10.36-1.fc17
• gstreamer-devel 0.10.36-1.fc17
• gstreamer-devel-docs 0.10.36-1.fc17
• gstreamer-plugins-bad-free 0.10.23-8.fc17
• gstreamer-plugins-base 0.10.36-2.fc17
• gstreamer-plugins-good 0.10.31-4.fc17
• gstreamer-tools 0.10.36-1.fc17

I have copied the helloworld.c program from the GStreamer Application Development Manual (1.0.3) - but it does not compile.  I get
[ian@Sound GSTstuff]$ gcc -Wall helloworld.c -o helloworld $(pkg-config --cflags --libs gstreamer-1.0)
Package gstreamer-1.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gstreamer-1.0.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'gstreamer-1.0' found
helloworld.c:1:21: fatal error: gst/gst.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.

I cannot locate a file called gstreasmer-1.0.pc.  Evidently, something has gone wrong with my installation process.  Please could someone suggest what I might have missed.

You've installed gstreamer 0.10 packages but you're asking pkg-config for gstreamer-1.0.

P.S. The Application Development Manual for GStreamer 0.10 is (for now, at least) at http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/doc/gstreamer/stable/manual/html/index.html
-- you might have better luck with that. :-)

There are currently two major versions of GStreamer, one is the
old/deprecated/no-longer-maintained GStreamer 0.10 series, and one is
the new GStreamer 1.0 series. For all practical purposes these are
completely different libraries, they can be installed together etc.

In short, the documentation is for the new 1.0 series, and you installed
the old 0.10 series.

I would recommend you upgrade to Fedora 18, which also has packages for
the new 1.0 series.

If that is not an option, the gstreamer-devel-docs package probably
contains the 0.10 version of the app dev manual.

 Cheers

Thanks - obvious if you look at the numbers.

I have now installed Fedora 18 (alpha) which does have GStreamer 1.0.3 -
so it matches the manual I was reading.
