GST_DOC used in configure.ac not expanded correctly
Last modified: 2006-01-09 17:43:56 UTC
Please describe the problem: This is for gstreamer-0.8.11. I noticed one of the plugins wasn't building as it had in the past. On diffing and older tarball that did build the plugin and the newer tarball I noticed GST_DOC was replaced by GST_DOCBOOK_CHECK but GST_DOC was still being used by configure.ac which caused other macros to fail causing the side effect of the one module not building. It was an unimportant module (qcam) so this most likely went unnoticed. Steps to reproduce: 1. compile the source Actual results: qcam isn't compiled (side effect) Expected results: qcam is compiled Does this happen every time? yes Other information: I have a patch
Created attachment 52036 [details] [review] Change GST_DOC to GST_DOCBOOK_CHECK in configure.ac
Marking NEW
The GST_DOC m4 macro has been renamed to GST_DOCBOOK_CHECK only in common/m4/gst-doc.m4 in CVS HEAD, but not in the 0.8 branch. However, the autogen.sh script in the 0.8 branch did not check out the branch 0.8 of the common/ CVS module at the time 0.8.11 was released, so that macro wasn't expanded correctly. This has been fixed in autogen.sh shortly after the 0.8.11 release by this commit: http://cvs.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-plugins/autogen.sh?r1=1.44.6.1&r2=1.44.6.2&only_with_tag=BRANCH-GSTREAMER-0_8 In other words: it should be fixed in 0.8.12. No idea if this was really the reason why the qcam plugin didn't build though. The qcam plugin is only available on Linux/i386, but configure doesn't really show that on a Linux/non-i386 system. Will fix that too. Please re-open if you're still having problems with qcam. Cheers -Tim
