GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 758363
Remove all mentions to the gst-plugins-gl module which is now part of gst-plugins-bad
Last modified: 2016-02-28 21:05:09 UTC
This website links to an empty repository: http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/modules/gst-plugins-gl.html Downloading the tar.gz (form 2012) will require gstreamer-0.10 >= 0.10.35. Background: I'm trying to compile the latest plugins-bad (1.7 git) which will error during make (not configure!) with some missing GL symbols, and Internet gossip said I need gst-plugins-gl. Also I could not find any info with Google about gst-plugins-gl being deprecated for something else.
gst-plugins-gl has been merged into gst-plugins-bad, as the last commit message in the code repository says: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/attic/gst-plugins-gl/log/ The link on the website should be removed, I'll do that. Any Internet gossip that mentions gst-plugins-gl should probably be ignored, it's either misinformed or relates to an ancient and now-unmaintained and unsupported version of GStreamer (0.10) :) Perhaps you could mention what kind of errors you are getting? (ideally attach a full build log)
Thanks for the quick answer. I made the ticet mainly for the web-confusion. I will retry the compilation ina clean vm and open a new one if it still holds.
Looks I've done this but forgot to close the bug.
