Description hannes.weisbach 2015-05-28 18:33:38 UTC 
gst-omx looks for <gst/gstconfig.h> in <prefix>/include. However, the file is installed into <prefix>/lib/gstreamer-1.0/include.

Comment 1 Sebastian Dröge (slomo) 2015-05-29 11:27:46 UTC 
It seems like AG_GST_PARSE_SUBSYSTEM_DISABLES() is not used elsewhere anymore in configure.ac, but everything assumes it is.

For gst-omx that's easy to fix, just by using libdir instead. But something looks wrong here in the other modules.

Would need to be constructed differently for uninstalled vs. installed setup.
Comment 3 Tim-Philipp Müller 2016-06-04 18:36:06 UTC 
Let's fix it by just removing this stuff, it's not used in gst-omx (or anywhere else for that matter):

    configure: remove AG_GST_PARSE_SUBSYSTEM_DISABLES
    
    This would check which subsystems are disabled in core by grepping
    gstconfig.h. Only problem is: gstconfig.h has moved into libdir now
    so we've been checking a non-existent file for a while now. The
    macro would just sets GST_DISABLE_* for use in configure.ac and
    Makefile.am, but we don't use that anywhere so just get rid of it
    (the one place where we use GST_DISABLE_GST_DEBUG is in a .c file
    which gets the define from the gstconfig.h include).

Thanks for the bug report, sorry it took so long to fix (at least I hope this fixes it :)).
