gst-rtsp-server build failed - missing Gst-1.0.gir

[Chris Hallinan]

Actually, after some trial and error, I discovered that the .gir files are
not part of the 1.20 installers, they only appear in the 1.18 installer.

The *.gir files are found in:

gstreamer-1.0-devel-1.18.5-x86_64.pkg

but not in

gstreamer-1.0-devel-1.20.0-universal.pkg

Is this intentional?

gst-rtsp-server will not build without those files present.
