            Bug ID: 797178
           Summary: Folder containment for config.h file
    Classification: Platform
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: 1.14.2
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: gst-editing-services

     GNOME version: ---

I am writing some C++ code which consumes GES (gst-editing-services).

As you can imagine, I appreciate the fact that most of the header files are
contained under a `gst` or `ges` folder.  But there is one auto-generated file
where this principle of containment has been violated.  It is a generated file
called "config.h".

It would be great if someone could put "config.h" under the "ges" folder.  I
don't understand enough about the build to do it myself.  There are multiple
build systems, none of which I understand.

Here is a helpful grep from Gstreamer 1.14.2

$ grep -IPrn --include={*.h,*.c} 'include[^\n]+config\.h'

examples/c/thumbnails.c:21:#include "config.h"
tools/ges-validate.c:22:#include "config.h"
tools/ges-launcher.c:21:#include "config.h"
plugins/nle/nleobject.c:22:#include "config.h"
plugins/nle/gstnle.c:25:#include "config.h"

plugins/nle/nleoperation.c:23:#include "config.h"
plugins/nle/nlecomposition.c:24:#include "config.h"
