Hi,

 

I need to build gstreamer 1.4.5 from GIT, but if I download I get only the
1.5.x Version.

Is it possible to get the 1.4.5 Version?

 

Our git repository is composed of branches. When you freshly clone a git
repository, it will be set to master branch. This the development branch.
When a development branch get released, like 1.4 was, then a branch for bug
fixes on top of that stable track is created. In this case, the branch is
1.4. Building from 1.4 branch will not result in a precise and reproducible
build version. So to allow this, we also add tags that let you pick the
exact version.

To simply select a branch or a tag

git checkout BRANCH
or
git checkout TAG

If you want to make modification to it (hence maintain a set of patches on
top), create a branch locally

git checkout -b mybranch TAG/BRANCH

You need to make sure common/ submodule is up-to-date. For that run

git submodule update


You can list branch using "git branch -r" and list tags using "git tag -l".
1.4.5 tag is simply "1.4.5".

cheers,
Nicolas
