GStreamer ARM cross compilation

[Deepak Jain]

Hi,

I am trying to cross compile "gstreamer-1.0.6.tar.gz" package on ARM.

Here is what I did:

(1) Extracted gstreamer-1.0.6.tar.gz
(2) I already have ARM toolchain in folder toolchain and I already exported
the path to /toolchain/bin
(3) I already have ARM cross-compiled glib-2.0, FFI and ICONV with me and
they are residing in folders glib, FFI and ICONV resp.


Now I configure my gstreamer-1.0.6 with following command:

#  ./configure --prefix=/<some_directory> --host=arm-linux-gnueabi
CFLAGS="-I/glib/Inc/ -I/FFI/include -I/ICONV/Inc"

# make


I got following error:

gstutils.h:724:3: warning: right shift count >= width of type [enabled by
default]
gstutils.h:724:3: warning: right shift count >= width of type [enabled by
default]

../gst/gstallocator.h:52:18: note: previous declaration of
'gst_memory_alignment' was here

make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

Now I changed my configure command to below one:


# ./configure --prefix=/<some_directory> --host=arm-linux-gnueabi
CFLAGS="-I/glib/Inc/ -I/FFI/include -I/ICONV/Inc" GLIB_LIBS="-L/glib/Lib/
-lgobject-2.0 -lglib-2.0 -lgthread-2.0 -lgmodule-2.0"
GLIB_ONLY_LIBS="-L/glib/Lib/ -lglib-2.0"


# make


Still I do not have any success, same above error comes.



Again I changed my configure command to below one:

# ./configure --prefix=/<some_directory> --host=arm-linux-gnueabi
CFLAGS="-I/glib/Inc/ -I/FFI/include -I/ICONV/Inc" GLIB_CFLAGS="-I/glib/Inc
-I/glib/Inc/glib-2.0 -I/glib/Inc/glib-2.0/glib
-I/glib/Lib/glib-2.0/include" GLIB_LIBS="-L/glib/Lib/ -L/FFI/Lib/
-L/ICONV//Lib/"

# make

Now I get the following errors:

I am not sure what all flags are required to properly configure GStreamer
at the beginning.
On googling, I do not find any conclusive answers to the problems faced by
many.

Some said you need to set PKG_CONFIG_PATH. But in my case, it do not exist.

Some said you need to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH and not GLIB_CFLAGS or GLIB_LIBS
but that is also not helping.

If anybody has successfully cross-compiled gstreamer on ARM, kindly let me
know the correct procedure as the information available on the net is not
conclusive, it is only confusing:(

Thanks in advance.
