Description Haihua Hu 2016-08-26 06:01:15 UTC 
Hi, I notcice it will do g-ir-scanner when finish build gst-libs/gst/gl directory, what dose it for? Because i am porting glupload to my platform and it will link to an other module in gst-bad. It will cause g-ir-scanner fail.

Could someone explain to me why need do g-ir-scanner for gl library? Will cause any problem such as library can not run if i disable it?

Is there an actual error that you're hitting or just wanting to know what g-ir-scanner does?

For the second, this is not the right place to ask those questions as this is not a support forum.  I would strongly suggest you look at the gstreamer-devel mailing list on freedesktop.org (https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/gstreamer-devel) for support-like questions.

Ok, Next time i will refer to gstreamer-devel. But I really meet some issue about g-ir-scanner.

We add an internal library A in gst-libs/gst of gst-bad, and glupload will call functions in this library. So I add link to A when build glplugins in gst-bad, but meet g-ir-scanner failed on loading library A.

Please go there for any further queries.

That solely depends on where you added the library and is not a problem with upstream.
