</div>You're building with -Werror (see man gcc), which treats all warnings as<br>
errors. First arg of gst_element_register should be GstPlugin<br>
not GstExampleFilter.</blockquote><div> <br><br>Ok cheers - I had tried changing to GstPlugin and that was ok - but I was hesitant to do this because I assumed the generated boilerplate code is correct, and I had done something wrong. Also, I'm just using the default compiler flags, so by default, the generated code doesn't compile (at least on my system).<br>
<br>So, does this boilerplate generation stuff need updating? Does anyone know if many people use it? I would think it's the first place to start for anyone wanting to write their own plugin...<br><br>One more thing - it wasn't clear to me, as a newbie to gstreamer and gtk, exactly how I was to edit Makefile.am in order to build a shared object with my plugin. I did see either in INSTALL or somewhere like that, that I had to edit it, but just not how (but maybe it is obvious to someone with more experience).<br>
<br>I guess I'm just coming from the point of view of someone who is lazy (a typical programmer) and wants everything to work "out-of-the-box" so that they can quickly get started on what they need to do.<br>
