Hi Tim
Thanks a lot.

I followed the instruction provided on the official page:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer#static-build
I build statically with:

> meson --default-library=static -Dgst-full-libraries=app,video builddir

ninja -C builddir

Then I  tried to build the demo code with:
https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/documentation/tutorials/basic/hello-world.html?gi-language=c
With the following instructions:

gcc basic-tutorial-1.c -o basic-tutorial-1 `pkg-config --cflags --libs
gstreamer-1.0`
I also tried:

> gcc basic-tutorial-1.c -o basic-tutorial-1 `pkg-config --cflags --libs
> gstreamer-1.0` -Bstatic -L./-l:libgstreamer-full-1.0.a


But nothing changed.
