|
|
|
|

|
|
|
You should get meson through your package manager or using:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
$ pip3 install --user meson
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You should get `ninja` using your package manager or downloading it from
|
|
|
|
|
[here](https://github.com/ninja-build/ninja/releases).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Build GStreamer and its modules
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can get all GStreamer built running:

|
|
|
```
|
2016-10-26 20:58:16 +00:00
|
|
|
mkdir build/ && meson build && ninja -C build/
|
2016-10-10 23:14:50 +00:00
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
2016-10-26 20:58:16 +00:00
|
|
|
NOTE: on fedora (and maybe other distributions) replace `ninja` with `ninja-build`

# Development environment

|
|
|
gst-build also contains a special `uninstalled` target that lets you enter an
|
|
|
|
|
uninstalled development environment where you will be able to work on GStreamer easily.
|
|
|
|
|
You can get into that environment running:
|
2016-08-24 15:10:21 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2016-10-26 20:58:16 +00:00
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
ninja -C build/ uninstalled
|
|
|
|
|
```

|
|

|
2016-10-26 20:58:16 +00:00
|
|
|
If your operating system handles symlinks, built modules source code will be available
|
|
|
|
|
at the root of `gst-build/` for example GStreamer core will be in `gstreamer/`. Otherwise
|
|
|
|
|
they will be present in `subprojects/`. You can simply hack in there and to rebuild you
|
|
|
|
|
just need to rerun `ninja -C build/`.
