Currently I'm just targeting my development platform - Windows, and
I just currently use Gstreamer mainly to read and decode the webm
format which... I believe is open?<br>
<br>
Is there a good way to trim down Gstreamer other than applying
logic/deleting stuff and see what suddenly no longer works?<br>

<pre wrap="">Hello,
Having successfully gotten my application to run on my second test
machine with Gstreamer, I'm beginning to ponder the ramifications of
possibly distributing an application publicly.
As I understand it GStreamer is LGPL with some proprietary plug-ins. I
initially considered statically linking with Gstreamer until I found out
that that legally this would either require me to...
a. Also release my code under the LGPL, or...
b. Provide users with means to re-link with other LGPL code.
Not too keen on 'a' for now, and 'b' sounds like it'd be a lot of work.
So looking at still dynamically linking with Gstreamer, has anyone got
any tips for perhaps 'trimming' down the Gstreamer package to just the
parts that are actually in use? Is this legal?

Sure, you can just omit all the plugins and libraries (and their
dependencies) you don't need and this will already decrease the size a
lot depending on what your application needs to do. You will need to
provide any changes you do to the LGPL code as source code though.
Which platform(s) are you targetting?
For the static linking... you can do that, and b) is done by some
companies already. Basically you'll have to provide the .o files for
your application and then a script or something to link those together
with GStreamer to a final application.
