I'm sorry to say I didn't provide more details.  I want to use *mad* in gst-plugins-ugly, so I need to configure gst-plugins-ugly and individually install *mad*. But when configuring gst-plugins-ugly , installing gst-plugins-base is necessary. So I have to configure and install gst-plugins-base, but liboil is necessary to gst-plugins-base, maybe it is useless for me. Now, my problem is how to configure and mini-install gst-plugins-base without liboil in order to configure and install *mad*, or how to configure and install *mad* without gst-plugins-base. Can you give me some suggestion?  Thank you!   Thomas Vander Stichele <<A href="http://cn.f156.mail.yahoo.com/ym/Compose?To=thomas@apestaart.org&YY=21000&order=down&sort=date&pos=0&view=a&head=b">thomas@apestaart.org</A>> 写道：   On Thu, 2006-04-27 at 20:14 +0800, zs p wrote: > I'm porting gstreamer to an embeded device. > I need to minimize all components, so I want to > install only subdirectory "gst-libs" without liboil. Are you sure you actually understand enough of GStreamer when you're doing this ? Why would you install a bunch of *plugin libraries* and not build the *plugins that use them* ? I'm sure we could be of more help if you explained what you are trying to achieve as a whole, instead of small details that confuse people :) > How should I configure gst-plugins-base to pass the > configuration phase? liboil is a hard dependency at build time. You can always choose to later on not install any plugin that uses it. How much you build != how much you install.
