Bug 124178 – gst-plugins and v4l(2) configure options

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description ak 2006-02-26 10:26:01 UTC]

In gst-plugins.eclass we have:

> my_gst_plugins="... gst_v4l gst_v4l2 ..."
...
> GST_PLUGINS_BUILD=${PN/gst-plugins-/}
...
>    for plugin in ${my_gst_plugins}; do
>        gst_conf="${gst_conf} --disable-${plugin} "
>    done
>    for plugin in ${GST_PLUGINS_BUILD}; do
>        gst_conf="${gst_conf} --enable-${plugin} "
>    done

so looking at gst-plugins-v4l2-0.8.12 log there is:
> ./configure ... --disable-gst_v4l2 ... --enable-v4l2
and no v4l2src plugin built, while I suppose we actually wanted it?

Could you be a bit more verbose about what happens and what you think is wrong? 

Your problem is stated like a puzzle.

I want v4l2src plugin, i thought i can get with gst-plugins-v4l2.

In eclass ${my_gst_plugins} used for disabling plugins lists options as they are in gst-plugins configure script, while ${GST_PLUGINS_BUILD} used for enabling needed plugins gets names from ebuild name. The problem seems to come when first one doesn't match the latter.

I.e for gst-plugins-v4l2, ${my_gst_plugins} is 'gst_v4l2' and ${GST_PLUGINS_BUILD} is 'vl2', so eclass passes '--disable-gst_v4l2 --enable-v4l2'. Desired line would look like '--enable-gst_v4l2'.

Hmmm? What's up here, sounds like a trivial fix?
