Description Sebastian Dröge (slomo) 2013-11-08 07:52:03 UTC 
It would be great if configure would automatically detect the GStreamer API version to use, e.g. by first checking if 1.2 is available, then checking if 1.0 is available, then checking if 0.10 is available. This could be forced to a specific value by a configure parameter still, but would work out of the box.

Currently many people fail to compile with GStreamer 1.2 because they don't see the configure parameter.

Yes, you are right, this was scheduled to be integrated prior to release and after the actual merge of video processing features. Sorry for the inconvenience. :)

    configure: automatically detect GStreamer API version.
    
    Automatically detect GStreamer API version. The --with-gstreamer-api
    configure option now defaults to "autodetect" and configure then tries
    to derive the GStreamer API version from the highest version based on
    what pkg-config --modversion would report.
