clean gstreamer installation
Locked

Hi,
i want to switch between different versions of gstreamer. is there any clean way of doing this? use case: - install gstreamer (including plugins) version X. - work on it. - un-install gstreamer (including plugins) version X. - install gstreamer (including plugins) version Y. - start working on it. i compile the source code manually and install gstreamer (configure, make, make install). 1) is it ok if i just clean it using "make clean" or "make distclean"? 2) will it remove all the files (makefiles, bin, lib, etc) generated? 3) is there any better, efficient method to achieve this? thanks, Sachin ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ gstreamer-devel mailing list [hidden email] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/gstreamer-devel |

if you have installed gstreamer using rpms then you can do
#rpm -e gstreamer-x.xx (similarly you will also have to do this for each of your plugin packages) if you have compiled and installed from source, then you there is an uninstall target in the makefile that can be invoked by saying #make uninstall (again this has to be done for each individual gstreamer package i.e. base, good, bad, and so on) Regards ~Sameer On Mon, Aug 25, 2008 at 11:33 AM, Sachin Pandhare <[hidden email]> wrote:

Hi, gstreamer-devel:
Unfortunately, in my Ubuntu 7.10, trying to uninstall the gstreamer package(sudo apt-get remove gstreamer-xxx) will also remove a lot of packages with dependency, some are very important for gnome. And there is no updated gstreamer packages in Ubuntu 7.10's repository. :( So, I have to download the latest source package, compile and install them with `--prefix=/usr'. This will overwrite the older gstreamer files and though it's not graceful but it works.

It is not necessary to do this. The default install to /usr/local will happily coexist with the installation in /usr. Set the following environment variables to use libraries, etc., in /usr/local: LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH Overwriting files in /usr is a sure way to screw up your entire system. dave... ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ gstreamer-devel mailing list [hidden email] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/gstreamer-devel |

Thanks to all for your guidance in this respect.
Point mentioned by David seems to be critical. i had actually made the mistake of installing it in /usr/lib :( will correct it. Sachin On Tue, Aug 26, 2008 at 2:41 PM, Eric Zhang <[hidden email]> wrote:
