Does GStreamer 1.0.5 Binaries build from MINGW/MSYS be used in VS 2008 to build additional GStreamer elements.

I tried this too but had problems at run time. I was told that it is
possible but you will have to explore the various build time flags as
gcc and visual studio have very different default settings and you
don't really want to create different binary versions of the same
libraries. Thus it may be better to do the complete build using MinGW
and avoid visual studio.
Gstreamer depends on glib and glib in turn depends on libintl which is
part of the gettext internationalization package. Gettext
documentation says they no longer support Microsoft tools and they
don't recommend using MinGW even.

I think Qt is a GUI API that is a rival to Gtk+ but uses an extended
version of C++ language. The requirements for Qt should not affect you
if you don't use it.

Good luck... you may need it ;o)
