            Bug ID: 788152
           Summary: plugin: API:
                    GST_PLUGIN_DEPENDENCY_FLAG_PATHS_ARE_RELATIVE_TO_EXE
    Classification: Platform
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: unspecified
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: gstreamer (core)
          Assignee: gstreamer-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: mduponchelle1 at gmail.com
        QA Contact: gstreamer-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
     GNOME version: ---

When a plugin declares a dependency using this flag, all the
relative paths are considered to be relative to the path of
the main executable.

We try to determine the path of the executable portably,
with implementations provided for Linux, Windows and Mac.

If retrieval of the path fails, we will not detect changes.

In order for the main executable path to be the same when
scanning a plugin in a child process, a new variable is
exposed in gst_private.h, _gst_executable_path
