            Bug ID: 789828
           Summary: gnonlin 1.4.0 release checks for
                    'gst-plugins-good-1.0-uninstalled.pc' and breaks
    Classification: Platform
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: unspecified
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: blocker
          Priority: Normal
         Component: gnonlin
          Assignee: gstreamer-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: ng0 at infotropique.org
        QA Contact: gstreamer-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
     GNOME version: ---

I am a developer/contributor to GNU Guix. Right now I am working on on
packaging gnonlin (which is required by pitivi).

I'm running into a configure time error with gnonlin (this is already with the
environmental variables set to point to the store-path of gst-plugins-good):

checking for GST_PLUGINS_GOOD... yes
Package gstreamer-plugins-good-1.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gstreamer-plugins-good-1.0.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'gstreamer-plugins-good-1.0' found


Reading the configure.ac what is checked for is not
'gstreamer-plugins-good-1.0.pc' but 'gstreamer-plugins-good-uninstalled-1.0.pc'
which used to exist in the default installation of gst-plugins-good. This file
still exists in the source tarball of gst-plugins-good, but is no longer
installed. So gnonlin 1.4.0 release is checking for a file which is no longer
provided by upstream
(http://gstreamer-devel.966125.n4.nabble.com/there-is-no-gstreamer-plugins-good-1-0-pc-tp4675518p4675521.html).

There are variations of this error when I don't define the env vars. As we
default to running testsuites (they are provided for a reason), the testsuite
picks up on the fact that gst-plugins-good wasn't available.

In summary this could be resolved by gnonlin following the changes in gstreamer
and the .pc files.
