<DIV>Hi,</DIV> <DIV>Thanks for your reply thomas and cristan, Here my aim is to play mp3 file on target using mad plugin and gstreamer.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>And i listed the steps for cross-compilation fro ARM on host x86 and then copied the necessary files and plugins to the target filesystem. </DIV> <DIV>I am sure i have plugins(mad,lame etc)  on target.But  It struck up at generating registry file with proper plugin path on taget.Gst-register is not able to load the plugins.</DIV> <DIV>Please see the logs below.  </DIV> <DIV>Could someone help me on this...</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>-------------------------------snip------------------------------------- 1.

Are your plugins actually there ? If they are, why ? Doens't that dir contain system libs ? > Rebuilding global_registry > (/usr/local/var/cache/gstreamer-0.8/registry.xml) .... > -----> hanging here > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > Can someone point me to the error? check with strace or gdb what the process is doing there. Also, what did you run configure with ? It seems you didn't specify anything prefix-related to configure. Are you used to cross-compiling and how to properly configure source packages and so on ?
