GStreamer Build on CentOS 5.6 64bit

[Greg Wunder]

Chad,

Yes, it appears that CentOS 5.6 does not have the correct dependencies & a custom build is needed if I am assuming the latest versions of gstreamer modules.
However, I don't want to break the OS.
For my project I have to stick with this OS, so I can't change.
If you have any gotchas or insight on what you did for your build, some notes on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Greg

Hi Greg,

Do you mean that CentOS 5.6 should have the correct dependencies but
that it won't compile? Or just that the versions are too old period?

My colleagues and I have built gstreamer, plugins good, bad and
gst-python on CentOS *5.3* but only by creating and installing custom
rpms of the following in /opt (or a home directory, or whatever):

flex 2.5.35
glib2 2.22.5
glib2-devel 2.22.5
pygobject2 2.18.0
pygobject2-devel 2.18.0
pygobject2-doc 2.18.0

I am not sure how good of an idea this was, but things seem to work
okay so far.  It was for a cluster computing environment that will not
have an OS upgrade for a while, and we needed to make progress with
what was there.  If you decide this information is useful I can try to
recall any of the gotchas that we came across...

best wishes,

Chad
