GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 587306
configure.ac check for gst-inspect should also check for gst-instpect-0.10
Last modified: 2011-01-16 23:37:40 UTC
The gst-inspect tool is required by gstreamermm to check for plugins at configure-time. Some distributions only supply a versioned gst-inspect binary, e.g. gst-inspect-0.10 rather than gst-inspect. The gstreamermm configure.ac only checks for gst-inspect.

I wonder why it checks for plugins at configure time, from a tarball, assuming that's what you mean.
(In reply to comment #2) > I wonder why it checks for plugins at configure time, from a tarball, assuming > that's what you mean. Actually, gstreamermm _used_ to check for plugins at configure-time, but this was changed pre-0.10.2. The configure.ac code for checking of gst-inspect can thus be safely removed, as nothing else uses GST_INSPECT (I checked with regexxer).

Thanks for this. PLease commit it to master. Thanks.
Pushed to master: 2009-06-30 David King <davidk@openismus.com> * configure.ac: Don't check for gst-inspect as it is not needed, since the presence of plugins is checked at runtime and not configure-time. Bug #587306.
