[gst-devel] "No such element or plugin mad"

[vishwanath H.G]

Hi,
Thanks for your reply thomas and cristan, Here my aim is to play mp3 file on target using mad plugin and gstreamer.
 
And i listed the steps for cross-compilation fro ARM on host x86 and then copied the necessary files and plugins to the target filesystem. 
I am sure i have plugins(mad,lame etc)  on target.But  It struck up at generating registry file with proper plugin path on taget.Gst-register is not able to load the plugins.
Please see the logs below.  
Could someone help me on this...
 
-------------------------------snip-------------------------------------

1. This is cross-compilation steps of gstreamer for ARM on x86 host

Gstreamer-0.8.7
================

CC=arm-linux-gcc AR=arm-linux-ar LD=arm-linux-ld
./configure --host=arm-linux
LDFLAGS=-/usr/local/scratch/trilok/ws/target/lib
CFLAGS=-I/usr/local/scratch/trilok/ws/target/include
--prefix=/usr/local/fs/
vishwa && make && make install

2.This is cross-compilation steps of gst-plugins for ARM on x86 host

 gst-plugins-0.8.6
===================

CC=arm-linux-gcc AR=arm-linux-ar LD=arm-linux-ld
CFLAGS=-I/usr/local/scratch/trilok/ws/target/include
LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/scratch/trilok/ws/target/lib

3. Copy files (libraries,lib/gstreamer-0.8,binaries) from the directory
specified in prefix to target filesystem.

4.On target export plugin paths
# export GST_PLUGIN_PATH=/lib/gstreamer-0.8:$GST_PLUGIN_PATH

5.Run "gst-register" on target

 # gst-register
Rebuilding global_registry
(/usr/local/fs/vishwa/var/cache/gstreamer-0.8/registr
y.xml) ...
Rebuilding user_registry (/root/.gstreamer-0.8/registry.xml) ...
Loaded 0 plugins with 0 features.

6. This the content of global_registry

 # cat /usr/local/fs/vishwa/var/cache/gstreamer-0.8/registry.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<GST-PluginRegistry>
<gst-plugin-paths>
<path>/lib/gstreamer-0.8</path>
<path>/usr/local/fs/vishwa/lib/gstreamer-0.8</path>
</gst-plugin-paths>
</GST-PluginRegistry>


7. This the content of user_registry

 # cat /root/.gstreamer-0.8/registry.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<GST-PluginRegistry>
<gst-plugin-paths>
</gst-plugin-paths>
</GST-PluginRegistry>


8. # gst-inspect
gstcoreelements:  queue: Queue
gstcoreelements:  thread: Threaded container
gstcoreelements:  pipeline: Pipeline object
gstcoreelements:  bin: Generic bin

9.# gst-inspect mad
No such element or plugin 'mad'

First question - why are you specifying this gst-plugin-path ? Are your
plugins actually there ? If they are, why ? Doens't that dir contain
system libs ?

check with strace or gdb what the process is doing there. Also, what
did you run configure with ? It seems you didn't specify anything
prefix-related to configure.

Are you used to cross-compiling and how to properly configure source
packages and so on ?
