Git patch file adding install property.

There appears to be no component for the gst-examples repository hence the "don't know".

The Meson builds for the gst-play and gtk-play executables do not have the install property set to true, so they cannot be installed using Ninja. The attached patch remedies this.

Git patch file adding install property.

Thanks for the patch, but I'm not sure if these should really be installed.

I don't think anything else from that repository is installed?

If we do install things we need to suffix them with -1.0 or install into a special example directory or something IMHO, and there would be a confusing conflict between the two gst-play-1.0 variants.

I think I'd rather not install anything for now.

We don't make tarballs of this repo either yet.

OK, no worries. I'll just keep this for myself as a long-term feature branch.
Comment 4 Tim-Philipp Müller 2017-01-30 17:49:15 UTC 
Cool, thanks for your understanding :)
