[gst-devel] gstreamer ossbuild misssing pieces

[Kulecz, Walter (JSC-SK)[WYLE INTEG. SCI. & ENG.]]

I assume the gstreamer developers must love answering the same questions over and over again for the lack of decent documentation about getting the bits and pieces needed to actually do anything.



Form the: http://code.google.com/p/ossbuild/downloads/list site I've downloaded and installed on Windows2000:

msys_v11.7z

GStreamerWinBuild-0.10.5-dev.exe

GStreamerWinBuild-0.10.5.1.exe

(I'd have tired the newest BETA versions but the *.MSI files required XP or newer).



But if I run the gst-inspect command in a MINGW32 window (started with the msys.bat file), or double clicking the c:\gstreamr\bin\gst-inspect-0.10.exe



I get a bunch of "gst-inspect-0.10.exe - Entry Point Not Found"  "The Procedure entry point xxxx could not be located in the dynamic link library WS2_32.DLL" errors.



So what is missing here?





The mingw32 stuff seems to superficially work as a  "gcc --help"  command gives the expected result but attempting to compile theHelloGstreamer.c sample file with:



gcc HelloGstreamer.c -o HelloGstreamer `pkg-config --cflags --libs gstreamer-0.10`



Gives a large set of error messages suggesting the `pkg-config` stuff in mingw32 is not set up correctly -- which I've not got a clue as to what defines correctly.
