           Summary: Make it possible to build without libxml2 with --
                    disable-loadsave and --enable-binary-registry
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: HEAD CVS

            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: Normal
         Component: gstreamer (core)
        AssignedTo: gstreamer-bugs at lists.sourceforge.net

     GNOME version: Unspecified
   GNOME milestone: Unspecified


Please describe the problem:
Even if one uses --disable-loadsave and --enable-binary-registry one still
needs to have libxml2 for GStreamer to build.  The attached patches solves
this.

Some extra comments about the patches:

gstreamer.patch:
* Removes all references to GST_DISABLE_LOADSAVE_REGISTRY.  Instead
GST_USING_XML is used where XML support is required.
* gst/gstobject.[ch] checks GST_DISABLE_LOADSAVE rather than
GST_DISABLE_LOADSAVE_REGISTRY since those functions have nothing to do with the
registry AFAIK.
* Also fixes an incorrect reference to $GST_GST_DISABLE_DEBUG in configure.ac.

gst-plugins-base.patch:
* tests/check/elements/playbin.c checks GST_DISABLE_REGISTRY rather than
GST_DISABLE_LOADSAVE_REGISTRY since it has no dependencies on the load/save
functionality AFAIK.
