Thanks for the reply Dave. But if I want only few plugins to be to statically link, say only those plugins that I use in my application. The amount of modification and burden should be less. Could you please tell me what modifications are required in build system of gstreamer to statically link the plugins? Because I need to do this. <div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Dec 3, 2009 at 1:41 AM, David Schleef <<a href="mailto:ds@entropywave.com">ds@entropywave.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"><div class="im">On Wed, Dec 02, 2009 at 03:00:14PM +0530, Jyoti wrote: > Hi all, > > I want to statically link gstreamer libraries to my executable. > Can somebody help me regarding this? </div>Don't. The smallest problem related to statically linking is that all plugins then need to be linked either (statically) into or (dynamically) against your executable. This means heavily modifying the build system of gstreamer and all the plugin packages. And then the real problems start... dave... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Join us December 9, 2009 for the Red Hat Virtual Experience, a free event focused on virtualization and cloud computing.
