[gst-devel] How-to compile a plugin?

[El Piraña]

In first place, this is mi first message and my english is a bit out-dated ;-)

Well, here we go: i'm triying to do a SDL_Surface sink plugin (and
maybe later a GL texture sink) using the code from the actual
sdlvideosink to integrate it in a videogame and be able to play videos
without effort. I thought at a first point that sdlvideosink would
render it to a SDL_Surface, but it only render it to the screen using
a SDL window :-( So i'm taking it's code and adapting it so it renders
to a internal SDL_Surface and be able to get it accesing to it's
GObject attribute (it's said, access to the SDL_Surface pointer where
my sdlsurfacesink is painting and get it).

But my problem is more simple (i hope to don't have ploblems with the
SDL_Overlay... :-P ): i can't be able to compile my sdlsurfacesink,
and i'm not be able to get info how to do it. In fact, i only found
info about how to compile ALL GStreamer, but not only one (custom)
plugin, and at the GStreamer Plugin Manual there's no info about it
:-(

So i'm asking about:

1º How i can be able to compile the plugin? GCC command line,
makefile, developer tools... anything?
2ª How i can be able to notify GStreamer that i have this
little-cool-&-cute plugin and i want to use it? :-P

I have been playing a little with gst-launch-0.10, and compiled a pair
of examples of how-to overlay an X11 output of GStreamer on a SDL
window, and i have develop some SDL videogames before so i think i
have all the environment to compile this little thing... I only want
to know how a dummy like me can compile this :-P

I'm using GCC 4.2 in Ubuntu 8.10 in a Intel Pentium III 1,1GHz, 320MB
ram and Intel i810 videocard. The code from the sdlvideosink that i'm
using as base for my sdlsurfacesink i found it on internet and seems
to be a little outdated (doesn't have the fullscreen option of the
actual, or at least i didn't fount it), but it has all that i need to
learn how it works, how GObjects works, and more important, how to get
the video and how to work with it :-P

Thanks in advance and hopping your answer :-)

P.D.: any question don't doubt in ask to me ;-)
