I found the issue.

gst-plugins-bad-3.14.3 needs gnustep-back as dependency.

[Comment 2 Alexander Tsoy 2014-11-29 20:20:20 UTC]

Cocoa is enabled automagically if gnustep-config executable is found on the system. As usual there are two choices: always "--disable-cocoa" or a new USE flag with additional deps.

I had gnustep-base and gnustep-make installed. gnustep-make provides gnustep-config but there was no /usr/include/Cocoa/Cocoa.h on the system

After installing gnustep-back I have /usr/include/Cocoa/Cocoa.h and gst-plugins-bad installed.

If all that was needed for magic to happen gnustep-config was there but I still had the compile error reported.

Is it still applicable to 1.4.5 in tree ?

[Comment 5 Harris Landgarten 2015-05-18 21:03:47 UTC]

As far as I know you still need gnustep-back so it a dependency issue.

[Comment 6 Pacho Ramos 2016-02-28 16:29:51 UTC]

this automagic issue is solved in 1.6.3
