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.
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/)
46 Optional debian packages:
47 =========================
49 (This is an incomplete list, made only of problems which have been reported,
50 rather than by an audit.)
51 task-helix-gnome-dev OR libgnome-dev
53 gtk-doc-tools 0.4-0.2 -- needed to build documentation
55 Alternatively, the docbook-gnome-bin package, which is available by adding the
56 following lines to apt's sources.list (/etc/apt/sources.list):
58 deb ftp://ftp.home-of-linux.org/pub/debian gnome/
59 deb-src ftp://ftp.home-of-linux.org/pub/debian gnome/
