[gst-devel] Building boilerplate plugin on ubuntu hardy

My understanding is that the automatically generated Makefile treats warning as erros.
You can try to find the “-Werror” in the Makefile and remove it.
Then it will compile successfully. Have a try.

Subject: [gst-devel] Building boilerplate plugin on ubuntu hardy

Hi all,

I'm just running through the plugin writer's guide (http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/doc/gstreamer/head/pwg/html/index.html), specifically the section about building a plugin from generated boilerplate code, and having trouble compiling it.

I have done the following steps:
1. Checked out gst-template from cvs
2. Generated example filter from template:

> cd gst-template/gst-plugin/src
> ../tools/make_element ExampleFilter

This created the .c and .h files as expected.

Without making any further changes to the source (since I just want to compile the basic plugin):

3. added the *.c and *.h to src/Makefile.am, so it looks like:

# plugindir is set in configure

##############################################################################
# change libgstplugin.la<http://libgstplugin.la> to something more suitable, e.g. libmysomething.la<http://libmysomething.la>  #
##############################################################################
plugin_LTLIBRARIES = libgstplugin.la<http://libgstplugin.la>

##############################################################################
# for the next set of variables, rename the prefix if you renamed the .la,   #
#  e.g. libgstplugin_la_SOURCES => libmysomething_la_SOURCES                 #
#       libgstplugin_la_CFLAGS  => libmysomething_la_CFLAGS                  #
#       libgstplugin_la_LIBADD  => libmysomething_la_LIBADD                  #
#       libgstplugin_la_LDFLAGS => libmysomething_la_LDFLAGS                 #
##############################################################################

# sources used to compile this plug-in
libgstplugin_la_SOURCES = gstplugin.c gstexamplefilter.c

# flags used to compile this plugin
# add other _CFLAGS and _LIBS as needed
libgstplugin_la_CFLAGS = $(GST_CFLAGS)
libgstplugin_la_LIBADD = $(GST_LIBS)
libgstplugin_la_LDFLAGS = $(GST_PLUGIN_LDFLAGS)

# headers we need but don't want installed
noinst_HEADERS = gstplugin.h gstexamplefilter.h

4. Run autogen.sh, all good still.
5. make - error compiling gstexamplefilter.c:

$ make
cd . && /bin/bash /space/playpen/gst-template/gst-plugin/missing --run autoheader
touch ./config.h.in<http://config.h.in>
cd . && /bin/bash ./config.status config.h
config.status: creating config.h
config.status: config.h is unchanged

Is it a problem with my gcc being too recent and being stricter on warnings?  Please go easy on me, I haven't any experience with gtk and little with c :-)

Thanks in advance,
Jono
