gstreamer ossbuild misssing pieces

I assume the gstreamer developers must love answering the same questions over and over again for the lack of decent documentation about getting the bits and pieces needed to actually do anything.

Form the: http://code.google.com/p/ossbuild/downloads/list site I've downloaded and installed on Windows2000:

msys_v11.7z

GStreamerWinBuild-0.10.5-dev.exe

GStreamerWinBuild-0.10.5.1.exe

(I'd have tired the newest BETA versions but the *.MSI files required XP or newer).

But if I run the gst-inspect command in a MINGW32 window (started with the msys.bat file), or double clicking the c:\gstreamr\bin\gst-inspect-0.10.exe

I get a bunch of "gst-inspect-0.10.exe - Entry Point Not Found" "The Procedure entry point xxxx could not be located in the dynamic link library WS2_32.DLL" errors.

So what is missing here?

The mingw32 stuff seems to superficially work as a "gcc --help" command gives the expected result but attempting to compile theHelloGstreamer.c sample file with:

gcc HelloGstreamer.c -o HelloGstreamer `pkg-config --cflags --libs gstreamer-0.10`

Gives a large set of error messages suggesting the `pkg-config` stuff in mingw32 is not set up correctly -- which I've not got a clue as to what defines correctly.

It seems like Windows2000's WS2_32.DLL doesn't implement this
function. Maybe replacing this dll with the one from XP?

You'll need to install GStreamerWinBuild-0.10.5-dev.exe and add
'/c/gstreamer/lib/pkgconfig/' to PKG_CONFIG_PATH. or
install the developers package in the same folder as your msys installation.

For what it's worth, if you wish to use it, Visual C++ works well with gstreamer on my Vista machine. The few advantage are
O That feeling of familiarity if you've been a VC++ user
O Not having to use any config setups
O No need for CygWin.

You need to change your project configuration like this.

C++/General/Additional Include Directories:
C:\gstreamer\include;"C:\gstreamer\include\glib-2.0";C:\gstreamer\include\libxml2;"C:\gstreamer\include\gstreamer-0.10";"C:\gstreamer\include\gstreamer-0.10\gst\controller"

Linker/General/Additional Library Directories:
c:\gstreamer\lib

Linker/Input/Additional Dependencies:
gstcontroller-0.10.lib glib-2.0.lib gstreamer-0.10.lib gobject-2.0.lib

Re: gstreamer ossbuild misssing pieces

I despise Visual C++

I thought what I was downloading used Msys/minGW32, not CygWin. I do have an older version of Cygwin installed with gcc 3.2, the Msys version I downloaded is gcc 4.4.3. I don't know if this matters.

At this point, I just want to play with gst-launch to see if gstreamer on Win32 would actually be viable for what I need. If it is, keeping the build systems similar for both Linux and Win32 would be a plus. I'm comfortable with gcc and make, not so much with the autoconfig tools -- mostly for lack of good docs and versionitius -- 1.7, 1.9, 2.0 -- I don't care! pick one lose the rest, but seems I need all three for various things I do :( .

It doesn't use CygWin at all.

The binaries should work out of the box on XP/Vista/7. Configuring
PKG_CONFIG_PATH to include /c/gstreamer/lib/pkgconfg or installing the
developers package under /c/msys/ should be enough to use pkg-config
in the msys/mingw environment.

Thanks, this is a start. I'd installed both the WinBuild and WinBuild-dev 0.10.5 packages after installing (un-zipping) the msys download.

I added the PKG_CONFIG_PATH and now my MINGW32 window env command shows:

GST_PLUGIN_PATH=c:\gstreamer\lib\gstreamer-0.10
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=c:\gstreamer\lib\pkgconfig\
MAKE_MODE=unix

but now the build command gives:
$ gcc HelloGstreamer.c -o HelloGstreamer `pkg-config --cflags --libs gstreamer-0.10`
In file included from c:/gstreamer/include/libxml2/libxml/parser.h:798,

Obviously it did not. I can test the install on my XP notebook but this is not really going to help since I don't have a video capture card for my notebook.

Frankly I wouldn't bet the farm on it working on XP either, as I copied the WS2_32.dll from my XP system to the gstreamer\bin directory and created an empty .local file, that got rid of one set of "Entry Point Not Found" errors but created another:

"The procedure entry point RtlIpv4StringToAddressW" not found in ntdll.dll

Grabbing the XP ntdll.dll and putting it in the gstreamer/bin directory didn't change anything. Since I don't need to use any of the network related plugins, just getting past this might let me proceed.

Obviously if any of this about WinBuild not supporting Windows2000 was documented at http://code.google.com/p/ossbuild/downloads/list I wouldn't have bothered downloading anything :(

hi all
thank you Wes Miller for your help it work ok the programm compiled but when linking i get the following error message

Welcome to the DLL Hell!
As you see, you are linking against iconv.dll in 'E:\Program
Files\GTK2-Runtime\bin'. But the GStreamer build should use
/c/gstreamer/bin/iconv.dll.
The are two versions available for windows of iconv: win_iconv and gnu
libconv[1]. The first one export iconv* symbols and the second one
export libconv* symbols.
To avoid this issue win_iconv must be built with the
-DUSE_LIBICONV_DLL flag. You can grab a copy from the repo[2] and
replace it in 'E:\Program Files\GTK2-Runtime\bin'
