Bug 35181 – gst-plugins does not build many useful plugins

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description Rich Kowalczyk 2003-12-06 00:32:49 UTC]

In the configure step of emerging gst-plugins-0.64 (and gst-plugins-0.63), many
of the plugins are set to not build.

I can't figure out how to override this behavior.  If I download the tarball and
install it manually, all the plugins build.

Most of the plugins are split off from the main plugins package. See media-plugins/gst-plugins* ebuilds for examples how it is done and how you can create plugins for specific plugins yourself.

The whole how and why is in short in the gst-plugins eclass and theres been a extensive posting to gentoo-dev ml a while ago.

Useful & _working_ plugins can be requested for addition to the main tree.

closing - not a bug
