Building gst-plugins-bad from sources

[Nirbheek Chauhan]

Hi Ilya,

1.18.5 already ships the mediafoundation plugin, do you want to make
some changes to it or perform development / debugging on it?

In any case, you have misunderstood how to build gstreamer. The
options you are passing:

  -Dauto_features=disabled -Dgstreamer:tools=enabled
-Dgst-plugins-bad:mediafoundation=enabled

Are appropriate for gst-build or the new gstreamer monorepo. If you
want to build the gst-plugins-bad repository against a system
installation of gstreamer, you need to pass:

  -Dauto_features=disabled -Dmediafoundation=enabled

And then just copy gstmediafoundation.dll into the plugins dir:
c:\gstreamer\1.0\msvc_x86_64\lib\gstreamer-1.0 which will overwrite
the existing plugin.

Cheers,
Nirbheek
