[gst-devel] Running gstreamer in MAC OS X -- Leopard

[Philip Joseph]

Hi-

Thanks for the prompt response and the suggestions.

Setting the GST_REGISTRY_FORK to "no" doesn't seem to work for me.  I was trying
to determine what the problem was, but I was unsuccessful in doing so. 

I put the following line in my .bash_profile to set the GST_REGISTRY_FORK
environment variable, and I verified using the "set" command that the variable
is set.  Is this all I needed to do?

-------------
GST_REGISTRY_FORK=no
-------------


I did pull the latest off of head, and my initial build had some problems with
the ./po/gstreamer-0.10.pot file, but after replacing that file with the version
from the 0.10.19 tar file, everything worked out fine.

The error I was getting with the gstreamer-0.10.pot file on HEAD is the
following:

-----------
Making all in po
/usr/local/bin/msgmerge --update af.po gstreamer-0.10.pot
.......................... done.
/usr/local/bin/msgmerge: `af.po': No such file or directory
make[2]: *** [af.po] Error 1
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make: *** [all] Error 2
-----------

Any thoughts on what could be wrong with this file or with the setting of the
GST_REGISTRY_FORK environment variable?  

Thanks,
Phil

I think I fixed this already by making sure that on darwin we are not 
forking to update registry.

Please try again in latest CVS head of GStreamer core.
