<p class="MsoNormal">Hi All,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have built the matroska plugin from source, using the 1.20.3 branch with meson and the msvc toolchain. When I replace the actual matroska dll included as part of the 1.20.3 msvc binaries and then run gst-inspect it reports the following<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">(gst-inspect-1.0:17092): GStreamer-WARNING **: 15:44:18.959: Failed to load plugin 'path\to\gstmatroska.dll': The specified module could not be found.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This usually means Windows was unable to find a DLL dependency of the plugin. Please check that PATH is correct.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">You can run 'dumpbin -dependents' (provided by the Visual Studio developer prompt) to list the DLL deps of any DLL.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">There are also some third-party GUIs to list and debug DLL dependencies recursively.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">No such element or plugin 'matroska'<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have also built the pango dll in the same way and when I replaced that and did the same thing the details of the plugin were reported correctly.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">One thing that I have noticed is that the dll built from source can be inspected by the version of gst-inspect also built from the source. Similarly, if I replace the dll built from source with that included by the installer and then use
gst-inspect built from source then I get the same error as shown above.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">My hunch is that it is something to do with matroska’s dependency on the z and possibly bz2 dll’s.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Installed version has the following dll’s <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:36.0pt">z-1.dll<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:36.0pt">bz2.dll<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:36.0pt">gstbz2.dll <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">When built from source I only have the following dll<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> z.dll<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I wonder if anyone can shed any light on what I am doing wrong or what else I need to do when building matroska.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Many Thanks<o:p></o:p></p>
