Description Edward Hervey 2007-01-29 11:10:51 UTC 
Currently gst-python assumes all features are built into the core GStreamer against which it is being built.

Checks should be added to figure out at configure time which feature are disabled (by checking the GST_DISABLE_* defines in gstconfig.h) and ignore the related types and macros.
Comment 1 Edward Hervey 2007-05-23 10:05:40 UTC 
committed the minimum to show how you can ignore some methods.


2007-05-23  Edward Hervey  <edward@fluendo.com>

        * configure.ac:
        * gst/Makefile.am:
        * gst/gst-disable-loadsave.ignore:
        * gst/gstversion.override.in:
        Example of how to properly ignore methods that aren't available if
        some feature is disabled in GStreamer core.
Comment 2 Stefan Sauer (gstreamer, gtkdoc dev) 2007-07-18 08:40:27 UTC 
That gst/gst-disable-loadsave.ignore should be more like this:

%%
ignore
  gst_element_save_thyself
  gst_element_restore_thyself
  gst_xml_new
  gst_xml_get_topelements
  gst_xml_parse_memory
%%
ignore-type
  GstXML
%%

but unfortunately this fails terribly in gst.override still:

gst.c: In function '_wrap_gst_xml_write':
gst.c:23506: warning: implicit declaration of function '_gst_get_libxml2_module'
gst.c:23506: warning: initialization makes pointer from integer without a cast
gst.c:23507: error: 'xmlDocPtr' undeclared (first use in this function)
gst.c:23507: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
gst.c:23507: error: for each function it appears in.)
gst.c:23507: error: expected ';' before 'ret'
...

Any hints? Shouldn't the part starting gst.override:555 be somehow conditional?
Comment 3 Stefan Sauer (gstreamer, gtkdoc dev) 2007-07-20 11:40:04 UTC 
The issue in comment #2 is fixed in CVS.
Comment 4 Stefan Sauer (gstreamer, gtkdoc dev) 2010-09-07 11:32:33 UTC 
Edward, is this still a problem? My core has "--disable-nls --disable-loadsave --disable-trace" and gst-python builds just fine.
Comment 5 Edward Hervey 2010-09-07 13:14:29 UTC 
I guess it's no longer an issue then :)
