Description Kyle 2014-04-13 17:44:02 UTC 
I'm cross compiling GStreamer with Cerbero for Windows and I run into the following error:
No such file or directory: '/home/kyle/cerbero/sources/windows_x86/gst-plugins-bad-1.0-static-1.3/static-build/home/kyle/software/cerbero/builds/win32/2014.04.13/lib/gstreamer-1.0/libgstopengl.a'

I believe this error could be related to: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/sdk/cerbero/commit/?id=a9edb2a32785d3f7c6a58ac0f64045b994d0b1b3
Comment 1 Matthew Waters (ystreet00) 2014-04-14 07:44:05 UTC 
The issue here is that we need GL/wglext.h yet mingw/windows don't provide it.  You can download the header from http://www.opengl.org/registry/

http://www.opengl.org/registry/api/GL/wglext.h for the direct link.

The other issue is that cerbero might want/need to download/check the header exists.
Comment 2 Edward Hervey 2014-05-19 13:49:32 UTC 
I'm wondering whether we shouldn't just download it as part of the build-tools in cerbero when using those targets (cross-compiling with mingw)
Comment 3 Edward Hervey 2014-05-20 06:39:22 UTC 
It also fails on windows itself
