            Bug ID: 775870
           Summary: Update libcheck to the latest upstream 0.10.0 (git)
    Classification: Platform
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: git master
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: Normal
         Component: gstreamer (core)
          Assignee: gstreamer-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: nirbheek.chauhan at gmail.com
        QA Contact: gstreamer-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
     GNOME version: ---

libcheck doesn't seem to do releases anymore, but we need the latest code from
upstream[1] to add support for running gstreamer tests on Windows when built
with MSVC.

1. https://github.com/libcheck/check/

The attached patches do this in four steps:

* Update the libcheck code to latest git
* Move libcompat files to a new subdir
* Update existing libcompat files and copy new ones
* Build (autotools and meson) changes needed to use all this

Once this is merged, we can work on making the tests work on Windows/MSVC which
will require more patches to libcheck. I have already talked to upstream about
upstreaming such patches.
