Building Gstreamer on Mac OS X - 10.6.8

I got it working finally. libgstosxvideosink.so is built for i386 but my application is running in X64 mode.
It started working when I changed my application to i386. As my platform supports X64, I expected the default library to be built for x64.
Is there a way to specify the architecture explicitly?

While building osxvideosink element or gst-plugins-good, do I need to specify the architecture explicitly anywhere in the build process?

You don't have to. You can use 'file libgstosxvideosink.so' to check if it has the correct arch. Have you tried the command I suggested before?

I am building and running for x86_64 architecture. This works fine with previously installed *.so.
I checked out from the branch sdk-0.10.31 and updated to the tag sdk-release-sdk-2013.6<http://cgit.freedesktop.org/gstreamer-sdk/gst-plugins-good/tag/?id=sdk-release-sdk-2013.6>.
This is the same version installed on my computer.

Raja

Thanks for your reply. I could build osxvideosink using the steps provided.
To verify the build process, I tried running basic tutorial-1 after copying the generated libgstosxvideosink.so to the installed directory.
When I run it, only audio is played. No video at all. It works fine when I undo the copy of libgstosxvideosink.so.

Few observations

-          The generated and installed versions of libgstosxvideosink.so are different in size(generated one is around 92KB and installed one is 190KB).

-          And also the size of generated libgstosxvideosink.so is much than the size of cocoawindow.o(61KB) and osxvideosink.o(97KB) together.

That's the expected result, the installed version is a fat library (containing the library for 2 architectures x86 and x86_64). Are you building and running the tutorial for the same architecture? From which branch are you building gst-plugins-good?
You can easily test the element running in the shell:
gst-launch-0.10 videotestsrc ! osxvideosink

Andoni

Am I missing anything here?

Thanks for your reply.

I tried the following things while trying to build osxvideosink alone from the downloaded gst-plugins-good.

-          I cleaned up everything on my PC ( removed cerbero and gstreamer packages)

-          Clone cerbero package

-          Cerbero-uninstalled shell

-          cd gst-plugins-good

-          sh auto-gen.sh -disable-gst-doc

-          The above step fails saying no glib package found

-          One this step succeeds, I thought of going osxvideosink directory and do the make.

NOTE: I didn't do cerbero-uninstalled bootstrap.

Can you please tell me if I am going in the right direction?

There is a complete example on how to rebuild a single plugin in the documentation:

http://docs.gstreamer.com/display/GstSDK/Building+from+source+using+Cerbero ("Build a single project with the SDK")

Cheers,
Andoni

How are you building your application, with autotools, XCode, CMake, custom makefiles? What video renderer element do you need to change, osxvideosink?
I created application using Xcode. It is similar to the ones in basic tutorials.
The tutorials are adding the framework to the project. As I don't have the entire framework, I provided include and link paths.
Yes. I want to change osxvideosink element so that it writes pictures in the Core graphics context given by the application.

In this case you don't need to rebuilt gstreamer and gst-ffmpeg, only osxvideosink from gst-plugins-good. Once you have rebuilt osxvideosink, copy libgstosxvideosink.dylib to /Library/Frameworks/GStreamer.framework/Versions/0.10/lib/gstreamer-0.10/ to update the plugin in the framework and that's it. In your XCode project you should still use the GStreamer framework like in the tutorials-

Andoni

Another question

I tried creating an application using gstreamer and gst-plugins-good installed.
The application fails to compile because of the dependency on glib. What are all the dependencies I need to build install for creating application using gstreamer on Mac-OSX 10.6.8.

Basically my goal is to change the video renderer element(of a stable release for example sdk-release-sdk-2013.6) and build an application using that.
If modifying the recipes is the better option, what are the steps in which I can do this?

I am trying to use "cerbero shell" to build gstreamer-sdk with tag sdk-release-sdk-2013.6<http://cgit.freedesktop.org/gstreamer-sdk/gst-plugins-good/tag/?id=sdk-release-sdk-2013.6>.
So I cloned gstreamer, gst-plugins-good and gst-ffmpeg and used git checkout sdk-release-sdk-2013.6<http://cgit.freedesktop.org/gstreamer-sdk/gst-plugins-good/tag/?id=sdk-release-sdk-2013.6>.
While I could build gstreamer and gst-plugins-good successfully, gst-ffmpeg build fails saying "libavcodec/x86/cabac.h:91:error: cant find a register in classs 'GENERAL_REGS' while reloading asm.
I used the same option sh autogen.sh --disable-gtk-doc  as with gstreamer and gst-plugins-good.
What are the configuration options to be used with gst-ffmpeg?

I applied the patch. It seems to be working fine. The build process is currently going on.
Here my aim is to do some changes to the existing filters and build SDK from that. What changes are required to the above process to build the projects on the disk?

Once you have everything built you can build custom branches in 2 ways:
  1) Using the shell in cerbero: call "cerbero shell" and use the regular autogen.sh + make + make install process
  2) modifying the recipes to use a different origin/branch/commit to build.
If you just want to build other projects that depends on GStreamer use cerbero's shell directly.

Please find the log file attached.
Other thing, It didn't prompt me for password when "./cerbero-uninstalled bootstrap" is executed.

Can you try this patch and report back if it worked. It's only adding a 'sudo' to fix the permissions and should now prompt you for the password

Thanks for your email.

I executed the following commands one after the other, it exited showing at the bottom.

- git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/gstreamer-sdk/cerbero<http://anongit.freedesktop.org/gstreamer-sdk/cerbero>
- ./cerbero-uninstalled bootstrap


Can you please help me fixing this?
Apart from this, Don't I need to download the gstreamer code explicitly? If not needed, how do I control version of gstreamer cerbero downloads?

Yes: http://docs.gstreamer.com/display/GstSDK/Building+from+source+using+Cerbero

However I would recommend to use the following cerbero branch "upstream-1.0" instead of the old 0.10 version:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~slomo/cerbero/log/?h=upstream-1.0

For that replace the "package" step from the instructions with "package gstreamer-1.0" instead of "package gstreamer-sdk".
