Description Tim-Philipp Müller 2005-12-15 13:58:35 UTC 
IMHO the GST_ELEMENT_CHECK m4 macro should use gst-inspect-0.x instead of the
unversioned gst-inspect command line tool to check the availability of elements.

Otherwise it is pretty much impossible to check for elements of another major
version, say 0.8, if the 0.10 tools are installed.

Any reason not to change that?
Comment 1 Tim-Philipp Müller 2005-12-15 14:00:40 UTC 
Or maybe we should just provide an additional macro that takes a major/minor
version in addition?

Was apparently already fixed in the 0.8 branch (#168659), fixed in HEAD as well now:

 2006-07-07  Tim-Philipp Müller  <tim at centricular dot net>

        * Makefile.am:
        * configure.ac:
        * gst-element-check.m4:
        * gst-element-check.m4.in:
          Make gst-element-check-$VERSION.m4 call gst-inspect-$VERSION
          instead of the unversioned gst-inspect (#324176, #168659).
