Hi.

Thought I'd like to report that compiling gst-plugins-bad 1.3.90 out of the
box for Raspberry Pi fails. It fails with the following messages:

make[3]: Entering directory
`/home/pi/GStreamer/gstreamer-1.3.90/gst-plugins-bad/docs/libs'
  DOC   Scanning header files
  DOC   Introspecting gobjects
In file included from
../../gst-libs/gst/gl/glprototypes/all_functions.h:21:0,
                 from ../../gst-libs/gst/gl/gstglapi.h:129,
                 from ../../gst-libs/gst/gl/gstgl_fwd.h:26,
                 from ../../gst-libs/gst/gl/gl.h:29,
                 from gst-plugins-bad-libs-scan.c:12:
../../gst-libs/gst/gl/glprototypes/base.h:51:1: error: unknown type name
'GLenum'
../../gst-libs/gst/gl/glprototypes/base.h:51:1: error: unknown type name
'GLuint'

and a lot more error messages. If I instead try to help it using the
following commands, I get other error messages:

LDFLAGS='-L/opt/vc/lib' CPPFLAGS='-I/opt/vc/include
-I/opt/vc/include/interface/vcos/pthreads
-I/opt/vc/include/interface/vmcs_host/linux' ./autogen.sh
make

Then I get these messages:

make[3]: Entering directory
`/home/pi/GStreamer/gstreamer-1.3.90/gst-plugins-bad/docs/libs'
  DOC   Scanning header files
  DOC   Introspecting gobjects

                 from ../../gst-libs/gst/gl/gl.h:29,
                 from gst-plugins-bad-libs-scan.c:12:
../../gst-libs/gst/gl/gstglapi.h:42:21: fatal error: EGL/egl.h: No such
file or directory
compilation terminated.
Compilation of scanner failed:

If I in addition to the setting when executing autogen.sh I add the
following to the line  defining GTKDOC_CFLAGS in the docs/libs/Makefile

-I/opt/vc/include -I/opt/vc/include/interface/vcos/pthreads
-I/opt/vc/include/interface/vmcs_host/linux

so the line will look like this:

GTKDOC_CFLAGS = -DGST_USE_UNSTABLE_API $(GST_PLUGINS_BAD_CFLAGS)
$(GST_PLUGINS_BASE_CFLAGS) $(GST_BASE_CFLAGS) -I/opt/vc/include
-I/opt/vc/include/interface/vcos/pthreads
-I/opt/vc/include/interface/vmcs_host/linux

Then the plugins-bad *can be compiled* and installed. This is of course not
the way to do it, but it should provide the information necessary to figure
out what changes that are necessary to be able to compile the plugins-bad
out of the box for Raspberry Pi.

It also appear that the gst-omx plugins needs the following settings for
compiling:

So some changes for autogen.sh seems appropriate here as well.

Best regards
