[gst-devel] GStreamer on Windows

[Julien Moutte]

I think there are plenty of different Windows build strategies for
GStreamer.

I know we have one here at Fluendo for our codecs and for Elisa media
center, Songbird probably have their own, Collabora has yet another and
there are probably many that I don't know about which we discover today
in that thread.

Anyway as the packaging philosophy on Windows feels more like
applications are self contained I'm not sure it makes sense to try and
have a system wide install of GStreamer with a common build system.

Although it makes sense to drop Fluendo codecs in
~/.gstreamer-0.10/plugins if they are compiled with an old enough
GStreamer to support all self contained applications (with GStreamer
inside) on the machine.

Feedback welcome.
