1 GStreamer uses a *large* array of tools and libraries, most of which are
2 optional. We have attempted to make sure that any code that depends on
3 optional libraries doesn't get built unless you have those libraries. If
4 you find this not to be the case, please, let us know by filing a bug
5 report at http://sourceforge.net/bugs/?group_id=1936.
11 the latest glib2, currently at v2.0.4
12 libxml2 (also called gnome-xml, available from http://xmlsoft.org/)
14 These libraries are all central parts of gnome, and are available from the
15 ftp.gnome.org or its mirrors, amongst other places.
18 Optional libraries for Plugins:
19 ==============================
21 The vast number of optional libraries that can be used for plugins are
22 listed in the REQUIREMENTS document in the gst-plugins package.
28 An extra set of tools is required if you wish to build GStreamer out of
29 CVS (using autogen.sh):
33 libtool v1.4 or better
34 pkgconfig 0.9.0 (http://www.freedesktop.org/software/pkgconfig/)
45 To build pdf and ps version of docs
46 ===================================
51 Optional debian packages:
52 =========================
54 (This is an incomplete list, made only of problems which have been reported,
55 rather than by an audit.)
56 task-helix-gnome-dev OR libgnome-dev
58 gtk-doc-tools 0.4-0.2 -- needed to build documentation
60 Alternatively, the docbook-gnome-bin package, which is available by adding the
61 following lines to apt's sources.list (/etc/apt/sources.list):
63 deb ftp://ftp.home-of-linux.org/pub/debian gnome/
64 deb-src ftp://ftp.home-of-linux.org/pub/debian gnome/
