Description Roger 2008-10-28 12:02:24 UTC

gst-plugins-good-0.10.8 doesn't install libs/libgstgdkpixbuf*, and yet, I can see the files within the unpacked folder.  I can also chdir to the specific source folder and run "make && make install" manually.

And yet, it seems as if the ebuild (or maybe configure & makefiles) skips installing them?


Additional Notes:
This is required for app-cdr/brasero to function.  Since gdkpixbufsink isn't installed, brasero will hang when adding video projects.  However, newer versions of brasero will detect this missing lib and continue (thanks to me filing the bug & coder whom fixed it ;-)

Comment 1 Roger 2008-10-28 12:22:24 UTC

Found it.

The source configure/makefiles are installing thelibgstgdkpixbuf.* libs into a custom .libs folder.

How odd.  As such, you'll find the libgstgdkpixbuf.* here:

/var/tmp/.../gst-plugins-good-0.10.8/ext/gdk_pixbuf/.libs


My guess it's the sources that are doing this. There seems to be no patches (files/*diff || files/*patch) for this ebuild.

This should, if it hasn't already, be filed upstream.

Comment 2 Roger 2008-10-28 12:32:12 UTC

Examining this a little further before I head off, the problem should be obvious w/i the "work/gst-plugins-good-0.10.8/ext/gdk_pixbuf/Makefile", but it doesn't look like it.

However, there is some sed stuff going on within the "install-pluginLTLIBRARIES:" function. <shrugs>

I guess we should install the gdk_pixbuf plugin too..

This needs to be a split ebuild in the current system..

Interesting. Could you verify this is still needed in brasero-3 ? If so, I'll add it when the new eclasses are commited.

Comment 6 Roger 2012-11-22 12:03:52 UTC

Wow.  This is an eight year old bug.  I have since given up entirely on GUI stuff and do most things by command line... as I did previously anyways.

I have probably not used Brasero since this time.  I have since used, and still use cdw for recording cd-r/dvd-r media.  Also, abcde does ripping of audio cd's.

I have a funny store :)

If this plugin is built, brasero fails to add any video at all :)
At least those I tried in avi, flv, mkv, mp4 and vcd/mpeg.

Isn't this obsolete with brasero 3.8 and 3.10? :/
