4 gstreamer-sharp is a .NET/mono binding for Gstreamer
5 generated from gobject-introspection data using the [bindinator].
6 gstreamer-sharp currently wraps the API exposed by Gstreamer 1.12
7 and is compatible with newer gstreamer versions. It was developed
8 under GSoC 2014 for the mono organization. gstreamer-sharp covers
9 the core and base gstreamer libraries.
13 These libraries are needed for gstreamer-sharp to compile:
14 * gstreamer core, base and good 1.14 or higher
15 * [gtk-sharp] 3.22.0 or higher - *NOTE: This can be built as a meson subproject.*
17 You will also need various .NET/mono bits (mcs and al). On debian-based distros
18 you can install these with:
20 sudo apt-get install mono-mcs mono-devel
25 meson build && ninja -C build/
30 While hacking on the code generator or the `.metadata` files, you will
31 need to force code regeneration with `ninja update-code`, a full rebuild
32 is triggered right after.
34 Updating to new GStreamer version
35 --------------------------------
37 Make sure you are in an environement where latest `.gir` files are available (either installed
38 or through the `$GI_TYPELIB_PATH` env var), those files are automatically copied to `girs/`.
42 * Verify newly copied gir files in `girs/` and `git add` them
43 * Verify newly generated code and `git add` files in `sources/generated/` and `ges/generated`
53 gstreamer-sharp provides ports of all samples from gst-docs in the samples folder.
58 Since this is a gobject-introspection binding the recommended documentation is
59 the native [gstreamer] documentation. A monodoc generated documentation will be installed.
63 * Add an easy way to compile on Windows
64 * iOS and Android support
65 * Provide binaries for these platforms
