Unconditional building of glsink seems wrong
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
Since I do not have GLUT on my system, a gst-plugins build fails. There does not seem to be any conditional compilation option for this particular sink (e.g. sys/Makefile.am just adds it to SUBDIRS without question) and there is no checking in configure.ac to ensure that all the components are present. This feels untidy, especially as I have a relatively standard installation, so I would like something to be built just "out of the box", which gst-plugins normally does excellently.
Adding glsink to 0.6 was a mistake. It is fixed now.
