[gst-devel] Gstreamer WIN32 status

[Sébastien Moutte]

HI Gstreamer !!

It's time to report the WIN32 status of gstreamer packages. Now a lot of 
plugins build successfully with MSVC 6.0 and the ones i have tested work 
really good :)

Here is a summary of the common build errors i'm still getting on some 
plugins:
1) Some plugins use not supported socket functions (inet_aton, 
socketpair ...). I'll search for a free implementation of the missing 
functions for WIN32 or try to remove this function calls. Does somebody 
know an existing solution ?
2) Some plugins use rint (audioresample, videobalance). I've found and 
used #ifdef WIN32 #define rint(x) (floor((x)+0.5)) #endif. Is it correct  ?
3) Some plugins need regex.h which is not on WIN32 dev environment.
4) Some plugins (realmedia, qtdemux) use void * in a lot of operations. 
MSVC doesn't support that, it generates error because it doesn't know 
the size of void then it can't move the pointer. I guess we can simply 
replace void * used in operations by byte * or char *, can i do that 
safely ?

See below the list of plugins i've built with MSVC 6.0 (plugins not 
present are plugins i've not tried to build yet).
Can someone add that to the website please so that win32 people can see 
the 0.10's status ?

*GST-PYTHON* 	*BUILD STATUS* 	*TESTS STATUS*
I've built it by removing interfaces bindings which wasn't working (I 
need to investigate) 	
	
I need to work on project file to setup autogeneration of the bindings 	
	
After removing interfaces bindings, gst-python worked really fine ! :) I 
ran a python media player based on gstreamer/opengl successfully :)
