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://bugzilla.gnome.org/.
11 An extra set of tools is required if you wish to build GStreamer out of
12 CVS (using autogen.sh):
14 autoconf 2.52 or better
17 libtool v1.4 or better
18 pkgconfig 0.9.0 or better (http://www.freedesktop.org/software/pkgconfig/)
23 The core GStreamer libraries. See the gstreamer/ module in GStreamer cvs, or
24 the version that corresponds to this plugin release.
29 This file lists supporting libraries for which gst-plugins contains plugins,
30 as well as their minimum version. You can find the corresponding plugins in
