 GStreamer | gst-plugins | Ver: 0.8.7

           Summary: Misleading command in README of gst-plugins
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: 0.8.7
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: trivial
          Priority: Low
         Component: gst-plugins
        AssignedTo: gstreamer-bugs at lists.sourceforge.net
        ReportedBy: tklauser at nuerscht.ch

1. Install gstreamer 0.8.8 into a non-default directory (e.g. /tmp/gstreamer-0.8)
2. Dowload and unpack gst-plugins 0.8.7
3. Follow the steps described in the README to configure and build gst-plugins
$ ./configure --prefix=/tmp/gst-plugins-0.8
--with-pkg-config-path=/tmp/gstreamer-0.8/lib/pkgconfig

4. Get the following error:

[snip]
checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config
checking for gconf-2.0... Package gconf-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config
search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gconf-2.0.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'gconf-2.0' found
checking for gstreamer-0.8 >= 0.8.7.1... Package glib-2.0 was not found in the
pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `glib-2.0.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
Package 'glib-2.0', required by 'GStreamer', not found
configure: error: no GStreamer found

I'm using pkg-config, glib-2.0 etc. (all needed libraries except gstreamer of
course) provided by my distribution.
Providing the option
--with-pkg-config-path=${PKG_CONFIG_PATH}:/tmp/gstreamer-0.8/lib/pkgconfig did
fix this. I think this should be changed in the README file.
