And also take a look how static plugins can be build/used in applications (you'll have to build all GStreamer plugins statically). It's definitely possible, I'm aware of some (non-public) setups that are doing exactly that on Windows. But you'll have to do quite some work yourself for figuring out the build system pieces. -- Sebastian Dröge, Centricular Ltd · https://www.centricular.com _______________________________________________ gstreamer-devel mailing list [hidden email] https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/gstreamer-devel |

For example on Linux you would use gst-build which drives the Meson build. But some builds (e.g. Windows) may still use the old auto-tools build system via cerbero. I believe MSVC is on the roadmap for the Meson build (and for gst-build) but I haven't heard whether it is working yet. > > > > The last time I tried to build the Windows binaries using cerbero (around gstreamer version 1.12.4) I ran into all kinds of problems and I didn't have enough time to push through them.

I dont recommend it. At the very least you would need to modify the plugin scanning and loading logic in the code. There would probably also be lots of little things to change in the code which I cannot predict at this time. > > > > > > > > On Thu, Jan 17, 2019, 5:51 AM Luca Bacci <[hidden email] wrote: > > > > > Hi, I want to build GStreamer with all plugins as just one shared library: a shared library containing core Gstreamer and all elements from base, good, bad, ugly with all their deps, statically.
