Intel Mac, program links with 1.20.3 universal but won't load

[Nirbheek Chauhan]

Hi,

It seems you are linking to the gstreamer macOS package as a
framework. This is supposed to work, but is currently broken as
detailed in this bug:

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/cerbero/-/issues/338

What you want to do instead, is to link to the individual libraries in
the framework using pkg-config. For example:

$ export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/Library/Frameworks/GStreamer.framework/Libraries/pkgconfig/
$ export PATH=/Library/Frameworks/GStreamer.framework/Commands/:$PATH
$ pkg-config --libs --cflags gstreamer-1.0
-I/Library/Frameworks/GStreamer.framework/include/gstreamer-1.0
-I/Library/Frameworks/GStreamer.framework/include
-I/Library/Frameworks/GStreamer.framework/include/glib-2.0
-I/Library/Frameworks/GStreamer.framework/lib/glib-2.0/include
-L/Library/Frameworks/GStreamer.framework/lib -lgstreamer-1.0
-Wl,-rpath,/Library/Frameworks/GStreamer.framework/lib -lgobject-2.0
-lglib-2.0 -lintl

Cheers,
Nirbheek
