Running gstreamer in MAC OS X -- Leopard
 
|
Hi-
I have built gstreamer in MAC OS (Leopard) and I am attempting to run it. When I call gst-launch (with or without arguments), I get the following output many times: ------ The process has forked and you cannot use this CoreFoundation functionality safely. You MUST exec(). Break on __THE_PROCESS_HAS_FORKED_AND_YOU_CANNOT_USE_THIS_COREFOUNDATION_FUNCTIONALITY___YOU_MUST_EXEC__() to debug. ------ followed by this line right before the program exits: ------- Error initializing: Error re-scanning registry , child terminated by signal ------- Has anyone ever run into this issue? Does anyone know of a fix? Per discussion on this webpage, http://developer.apple.com/technotes/tn2005/tn2083.html#SECDAEMONVSFRAMEWORKS I have attempted to run gst-launch through launchd, but I was unsuccessful in doing so. I am new to MAC, so it might be that I am just missing something small, but I have no clue. I also did a general search on the error, but was unable to figure out what would be a good fix. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Phil ________________________________________________ Get your own "800" number Voicemail, fax, email, and a lot more http://www.ureach.com/reg/tag ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.

A workaround is to set the environment variable GST_REGISTRY_FORK=no (the downside of that is that memory usage will be substantially higher if the registry needs re-scanning).

I believe CVS of core 'fixes' this by automatically not forking on OSX.

I think I fixed this already by making sure that on darwin we are not forking to update registry. Please try again in latest CVS head of GStreamer core.

That's more of a workaround than a fix. We'll eventually need to solve this properly (it may require the re-introduction of a separate executable, but that would be fine).

Hi-
Thanks for the prompt response and the suggestions. Setting the GST_REGISTRY_FORK to "no" doesn't seem to work for me. I was trying to determine what the problem was, but I was unsuccessful in doing so. I put the following line in my .bash_profile to set the GST_REGISTRY_FORK environment variable, and I verified using the "set" command that the variable is set. Is this all I needed to do? ------------- GST_REGISTRY_FORK=no ------------- I did pull the latest off of head, and my initial build had some problems with the ./po/gstreamer-0.10.pot file, but after replacing that file with the version from the 0.10.19 tar file, everything worked out fine. The error I was getting with the gstreamer-0.10.pot file on HEAD is the following: ----------- Making all in po /usr/local/bin/msgmerge --update af.po gstreamer-0.10.pot .......................... done. /usr/local/bin/msgmerge: `af.po': No such file or directory make[2]: *** [af.po] Error 1 make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make: *** [all] Error 2 ----------- Any thoughts on what could be wrong with this file or with the setting of the GST_REGISTRY_FORK environment variable?
