           Summary: [gst-plugins-base] pango plugin: localtime_r does not
                    exist in MinGW
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: HEAD CVS
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Windows
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal

The compilation of the pango plugin fails because localtime_r does not exists
in Windows. A solution would be to implement that function. Something like:

#ifdef WIN32

struct tm *
localtime_r (const time_t *t, struct tm *tp)
{
  struct tm *l = localtime (t);
  if (! l)
    return NULL;
  if (tp)
    *tp = *l;
  return tp;
}

#endif /* WIN32 */

I don't know if it can be a problem, but it seems that localtime is not
threadsafe.
