<br/>Alright. I think I got my head on straight now Sebastian. I originally
<br/>thought you meant it might be easier to rebuild the whole SDK including
<br/>the GL plugins, so I went ahead and downloaded and installed all the
<br/>required dependancies mentioned on the cerbero page. However, if
<br/>rebuilding the GStreamer SDK is not really necessary, and it's not
<br/>insurmountable to just build the GL plugins and use them with the
<br/>current SDK binaries I have, I'm going to aim for that.
<br/><br/>At this juncture I should mention that I appreciate the offer LRN - but
<br/>currently it seems like I'm better off just trying to get things working
<br/>with the countless tools I now have installed, rather than 'jump ship'
<br/>again :E Trust me - I want this to work as fast as possible as well, but
<br/>I'll have to exercise patience. I hope you guys don't mind holding my
<br/>hand a little longer while I apply my best abilities to try and get this
<br/>stuff compiled?
<br/><br/>So just to recap, I now have installed:
<br/><br/>MinGw, MSys, Git, CMake, Yasm, Wix, Windows SDK 7.1, Windows Driver Kit
<br/>(7.1.0) - essentially all the required libs for the Cerbero build.
<br/><br/>In my attempt to just get the plug ins compiled I've achieved the
<br/>following! Cloning the GL plug ins from here:
<br/><br/>git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-plugins-gl
<br/><br/>I wasn't sure how to then build stuff, but I recall LRN mentioning
<br/>something about autogen, so I went ahead with trying that. Executing
<br/>'autogen.sh' - pointed out I was missing 'autopoint'. I had a hard time
<br/>figuring out exactly which package to get via the mingw package manager.
<br/>Is there anyway of figuring out what 'autopoint' could be a part of? The
<br/>only way I managed was by googling it and finding something about issues
<br/>with the 'gettext' package, so I tried installing the mingw version of
<br/>it (after reading that installing the msys version leads to msys DLL
<br/>dependencies?). There seemed to have been some package conflicts as not
<br/>all of the dependencies were extracted - perhaps due to existing
<br/>versions? I have absolutely no idea where I should be begin to resolve
<br/>that. Anyway, autopoint now seemed to exist in MSys so I continued on...
<br/><br/>Executing 'autogen.sh' now throws the following error at me:
<br/><br/>+ running autopoint --force ...
<br/>autopoint: *** Missing version: please specify in configure.ac through a
<br/>line 'AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION(x.yy.zz)' the gettext version the package
<br/>is using autopoint: *** Stop.
<br/><br/>I've googled the error message and cannot figure out if it's because the
<br/>script actually needs tweaking, or because perhaps the package conflicts
<br/>is causing me grief? Any thoughts?
<br/><br/>Regards,
<br/>Gazoo
