checking for GST... configure: WARNING: GStreamer 0.10 not available,

[Jorge Villanueva]

I am having the same trouble as an earlier thread with Fedora 15 .
Can I get details how it was resoved? I seems like it worked for
Robin but I am not good enough to figure out how it was done exactly.

checking for CAIRO... yes
checking for GST... configure: WARNING: GStreamer 0.10 not available,
falling back to 0.8
checking for GST... configure: WARNING: GStreamer 0.8/0.10 not
available.

Do you also have the development package for gconf installed? That's
usually what has fixed it for me.

I believe I have gconf installed (GConf2-devel-2.32.3-1.fc15.i686.rpm
is installed). Do I need to unsintall GStreamer if so which package
(Many GSreamer packages installed) and reinstall. My system is
offline and so I think I would I need to use use "yum localinstall --
disablerepo=* somepackage" Sorry, getting my feet wet in all this so
I appriciate patience and guidence.

Also, If there is a way to modify "build-wxwidgets.py" to work around
this (It look like it worked for someone) the details to the
modification would be nice to have as an option.

Thanks,

Jorge

The next step would be to look at the config.log file produced when
configure is run to see if there are any other clues about why the check
for gstreamer development files is failing. Also, I just noticed that
you appear to be building 2.9.1.1, you should probably update to 2.9.2.4.

You could try removing the line that adds --enable-mediactrl to the list
of configure options.

Could you please post the changes you made to the configure script? I have
Ubuntu 10.04 LTS installed. Following are the error messages while trying to
build:

checking for GST... configure: WARNING: GStreamer 0.10 not available,
falling back to 0.8
checking for GST... configure: WARNING: GStreamer 0.8/0.10 not available.
configure: error: GStreamer not available
Error running configure

.
.
.

I understand the script is looking for a format similar to this ->
"gstreamer-plugins-base-$GST_VERSION"

The actual package installed on my machine shows
"gstreamer0.10-plugins-base" i.e., "gstreamer$GST_VERSION-plugins-base"

I replaced "gstreamer-plugins-base-$GST_VERSION" with
"gstreamer$GST_VERSION-plugins-base" but it still doesn't work. Any
suggestions ?

Do you have the libgconf2-dev package installed? The pkg-config info
for gstreamer doesn't complain if the gconf-dev files are not installed,
but they are required.

What errors are you seeing?

Possible missing packages would be :

- libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-devel
- libgconfmm2.6-devel

Thanks for being so responsive.

After some hours I did In $WXROOT/build/tools/, editing build-wxwidgets.py and change the switch for mediactrl to --disable-mediactrl. In fact, my problem was I could not find mediactrl for being in wxPython directory (my head was going to explode).

So, now everything is fine and I correctly build it. My only problem now is that I cannot get wx.html2 working (unsupported platform) after I installed what the docs says: libwebkitgtk-dev and also I tried libwebkitgtk-3.0-dev (version >= 1.3.1). But most likely I will open an issue about that, do not want to change the topic here.

You can use the --prefix option with configure to tell it to install
somewhere else. You will need to rebuild after running configure again.

Above lib installation resolved my issue. Thanks! 

[bob...@gmail.com]

I am running Fedora21 so the package names might be different.

To install gconf, I needed to:

   yum install Gconf2-devel

To find the 'missing' gstreamer packages (I also have gstreamer-devel installed
but the config script doesn't see it..)

If you do this 'trick'

    yum install gstreamer*

Yum will find all of the packages starting with gstreamer that you have not installed.

(*** Note - do not install them all - answer the question with 'N' )

When you have the list, look for likely suspects, install them and then rerun the config to see if you got the missing package.

I got over this bump by:

   yum install gstreamer-python-devel
   yum install gstreamer-plugins-base-devel

I am now stuck on another problem further into the configuration.

Have fun

I ran into the configure warning (checking for GST... configure: WARNING: GStreamer 0.10 not available) building for GTK-2 under CentOS 6.6 linux, x86_64. 

GStreamer is installed and there is a gstreamer-0.10.pc package config file in the correct pkg-config directory (/usr/lib64/pkgconfig). 

I believe the root problem is that the configure.in precursor file to the configure script has a bug where it is supposed to check for GStreamer.  I'm not an autoconf guru, but it looks to me as though configure doesn't look for GStreamer unless its been told to use GTK-1.  By default, configure assumes GTK-2, and PKG_CHECK_MODULES() is never run for GStreamer. 

You can work around the issue by defining the environment variables GST_CFLAGS and GST_LIBS (run 'configure --help' to see a listing of relevant environment variables).  To find the correct setting for the variables, use

     pkg-config gstreamer-0.10 --cflags

and

     pkg-config gstreamer-0.10 --libs

For the first command, on my system, I get:
     "-pthread -I/usr/include/gstreamer-0.10 -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib64/glib-2.0/include -I/usr/include/libxml2"
and for the second:
     "-pthread -lgstreamer-0.10 -lgobject-2.0 -lgmodule-2.0 -lxml2 -lgthread-2.0 -lrt -lglib-2.0"

To define the environment variables:
     export GST_CFLAGS="-pthread -I/usr/include/gstreamer-0.10 -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib64/glib-2.0/include -I/usr/include/libxml2"
     export GST_LIBS= "-pthread -lgstreamer-0.10 -lgobject-2.0 -lgmodule-2.0 -lxml2 -lgthread-2.0 -lrt -lglib-2.0"

I also included "--use-mediactrl" when invoking the configure script.

After that, wxPython 3.0.2 builds without problems.

I'm currently trying to build wxPython 3.0.3 (Phoenix) and the missing package was libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-dev. How weird :S

Did you install the requirements?
