[gst-devel] problems building gstreamer-0.2.1

[David Holroyd]

I downloaded gstreamer-0.2.1.tar.gz from SF.  Running autogen.sh failed,
as ./makeconfigure was missing, so I grabbed that (from the gstreamer
LXR page).

Now, ./configure fails,

./configure: line 2674: syntax error near unexpected token 
`PKG_CHECK_MODULES(GLIB2,'

....
if test x$USE_GLIB2 = xyes; then
   echo $ac_n "checking glib-2.0""... $ac_c" 1>&6
echo "configure:2674: checking glib-2.0" >&5
   PKG_CHECK_MODULES(GLIB2, glib-2.0 gobject-2.0 gthread-2.0 gmodule-2.0,
     HAVE_GLIB2=yes,HAVE_GLIB2=yes)

   if test x$HAVE_GLIB2 = xyes; then
     CORE_LIBS="$GLIB2_LIBS"
     CORE_CFLAGS="$GLIB2_CFLAGS"
....

I have RH7.1 with,

  $ pkg-config --version
  0.5.0
  $ which automake
  ~/bin/automake       <- the copy autogen.sh patched
  $ automake --version
  automake (GNU automake) 1.4
  $ autoconf --version
  Autoconf version 2.13
  $ libtool --version
  ltmain.sh (GNU libtool) 1.3.5 (1.385.2.206 2000/05/27 11:12:27)

but little autotools knowledge.


Any ideas?
