build gstreamer-1.0 on windows environment

Tue Feb 5 14:04:22 UTC 2019

Hi Experts!

I wish to build gstreamer from source on windows environment.

1) I have cloned following repository:
git clone -b meson-1.14 https://github.com/centricular/cerbero

2) Bootstrapped cerbero:
cerbero -c config/win64-msvc-shell.cbc bootstrap -->This installed all the
required build-tools. For e.g., meson and ninja

3) I tried building gstreamer-1.0 using following command, but build fails
cerbero -c config/win64-msvc-shell.cbc build gstreamer-1.0

Please take a look at output below which was printed on console window.

ninja: build stopped: subcommand failed.

Recipe 'gstreamer-1.0' failed at the build step 'compile'
Select an action to proceed:
[0] Enter the shell
[1] Rebuild the recipe from scratch
[2] Rebuild starting from the failed step
[3] Skip recipe
[4] Abort
---------------------------------------------------------------

Please *note that*, I have also tried *updating the gst/meson.build file*.
Modified to include statement- *sources : [gst_gen_sources, gstenum_h],*
Still gstreamer-1.0 does not compile. Could you please help me understand
what is wrong?

Also, I am unable to generate visual studio solution using the command:
cerbero -c config/win64-msvc-shell.cbc genvssln glib
It seems like Cerbero is not able to identify genvssln as an option and it
prompts on cmd that add-package, genvsprops and other options are
available. It would be a great help if anyone could point me in the right
direction to build gstreamer-1.0 on windows environment.
