            Bug ID: 762233
           Summary: [Suggestion] Improving Cerbero README
    Classification: Platform
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: 1.7.1
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: cerbero
          Assignee: gstreamer-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

     GNOME version: ---

===============================================================================
cerbero must be run in the MingGW shell, which is accessible from the main
menu.
The last step is making python and git available from the shell, for which you
will need
to create a .profile file:
  $ echo "export PATH=\"\$PATH:/c/Python27:/c/Git/bin\"" > ~/.profile

Note that inside the shell, / is mapped to c:\Mingw\msys\1.0\
===============================================================================

should IMHO be explained as:

cerbero must be run in the MingGW shell, which is accessible from the
desktop/main menu as "MinGW Shell" (if you don't have it, you did not install
the bash lnk" package).

Once you run the shell, you need to make python, MinGW and git available from
the shell, for which you will need to create a .profile file:

If you use 64-bit Windows:

echo 'export PATH="$PATH:/c/Python27:/c/Program Files
(x86)/Git/bin:/c/MinGW/bin/"' >  ~/.profile

if you use 32-bit Windows:

echo 'export PATH="$PATH:/c/Python27:/c/Program Files/Git/bin:/c/MinGW/bin/"' >
 ~/.profile

Note that inside the shell, / is mapped to c:\Mingw\msys\1.0\

===============================================================================

There are two issues fixed besides more explanation:

- Git is now installed in Program Files, not in c:\git; and
- msys shell for some unknown reason does not have mingw in path, so once you
start cerbero it couldn't find mingw-get and fails.
