Setting up GStreamer Build environment on Windows bootstrap failure

[David Wells]

Thank you Nirbheek

It appears I was missing path information. README file says to create a .profile by:
	$ echo "export PATH=\"\$PATH:/c/Python27:/c/Git/bin\"" > ~/.profile
I changed it to be this:
	$ echo "export PATH=\"\$PATH:/c/Python27:/c/Git/bin:/c/MinGW/bin:/c/MinGW/msys/1.0\"" > ~/.profile

After above changes bootstrap moves past previous error and now it's giving following error:

fatal: unable to auto-detect email address (got 'user at COMPUTER01.(none)')
You need to set your committer info first

See BootStrap.txt for all output.

It never completes. It just sets there like its waiting for user input but no key strokes seems to have effect!? I'm sure <ctrl><c> would end it but hoping for more direction.

Thank you.

Hi,

Your MinGW setup seems to be incomplete. You will likely need to either reinstall it. I'll quote the relevant parts:

xz isn't installed correctly.

wget needs to be installed.

You should be able to find a reliable way to manage MinGW packages
