gst-template fails to build with 1.0 because of gstcontroller changes, PWG sample code needs updating
Last modified: 2015-06-10 12:20:24 UTC
When I downloaded gstreamer PWG code with git, I couldn't have autogen.sh passed since the sample code refers to gstcontroller class inside. I checked website and gstreamer 1.0 source code, and found there was no gstcontroller.h file any more. After I have the gstcontroller related code commented out, the autogen.sh/make/make install work as described. Do I miss something here or does PWG sample code need to be updated for this?
Could you post the exact build log / error please, ideally starting from autogen.sh?

As far as I know, it seems Gstcontroller has been merged into GstObject. See the link at: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/tree/docs/random/porting-to-1.0.txt
