Description Francisco Leon 2004-12-04 18:04:15 UTC 
I dont have gnome, so i disable gconf and gnome_vfs: 
./configure --disable-gconftool --disable-gconf --disable-gnome_vfs 
--disable-schemas-install  
 
I get this error when doing configure: 
 
configure: Using GStreamer source release as package name 
configure: Using http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/ as package origin 
configure: error: conditional "GCONF_SCHEMAS_INSTALL" was never defined. 
Usually this means the macro was only invoked conditionally. 
 
A developer on irc (zaheem) has the same problem
Comment 1 Thomas Vander Stichele 2004-12-09 11:54:03 UTC 
Why did you specify all those -disable's ? AFAIK if you don't have them in the
first place you can just configure and it won't pick them up since they're not
there.

Otherwise, bug fixed in CVS too.
Comment 2 Francisco Leon 2004-12-09 14:50:32 UTC 
Obviously because i got the same error without all those disables, so i wanted to be a little smart and 
tried to disable them manually, expecting it would work, but it didn't, hence this bug.

If gstreamer wants to become a freedesktop standard, then it can't never depend on any gnome 
components.

Will this fix appear in 0.8.7?

Yes.
