If instead of you mean a way<br> to bundle all deps together, please read the following:<br> <br> W have a cross-platform build system called cerbero [0] that we used to manage<br> the build of needed third parties. We don't currently have any platform without<br> any of the deps already there. They all at least have libc for sure and we try<br> and use system libraries whenever possible. You may want to look at our Windows,<br> Android, OXS and iOS builds as examples.<br> <br> When the build is complete, one can use the "bundle-source" command to genereate<br> a self-contained, network less build package. This is what vendors using cerbero<br> are expected to provide to who they distribute GStreamer.<br> <br> An alternative would be to use gst-build [1], probably with a --wrap-mode=no-<br> fallback to avoid any dependencies being pulled from the network, but that may<br> yield into less features being enabled.<br> <br> regards,<br> Nicolas<br> <br> [0] <a href="https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/cerbero" rel="noreferrer noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/cerbero</a><br> [1] <a href="https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-build" rel="noreferrer noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-build</a><br> > _______________________________________________<br> > gstreamer-devel mailing list<br> > <a href="mailto:gstreamer-devel@lists.freedesktop.org" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">gstreamer-devel@lists.freedesktop.org</a><br> > <a href="https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/gstreamer-devel" rel="noreferrer noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/gstreamer-devel</a><br> <br> <br> _______________________________________________<br> gstreamer-devel mailing list<br> <a href="mailto:gstreamer-devel@lists.freedesktop.org" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">gstreamer-devel@lists.freedesktop.org</a><br> <a href="https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/gstreamer-devel" rel="noreferrer noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/gstreamer-devel</a><br> </blockquote></div> _______________________________________________<br> gstreamer-devel mailing list<br> <a href="mailto:gstreamer-devel@lists.freedesktop.org" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">gstreamer-devel@lists.freedesktop.org</a><br> <a href="https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/gstreamer-devel" rel="noreferrer noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/gstreamer-devel</a><br> </blockquote></div></div></div> _______________________________________________<br> gstreamer-devel mailing list<br> <a href="mailto:gstreamer-devel@lists.freedesktop.org" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">gstreamer-devel@lists.freedesktop.org</a><br> <a href="https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/gstreamer-devel" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/gstreamer-devel</a><br> </blockquote></div> _______________________________________________<br> gstreamer-devel mailing list<br> <a href="mailto:gstreamer-devel@lists.freedesktop.org" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">gstreamer-devel@lists.freedesktop.org</a><br> <a href="https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/gstreamer-devel" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/gstreamer-devel</a><br> </blockquote></div></div></div>
