Help with installing gst-plugin (/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lkaldi-online)

[meesam raza]

Hi, I cloned a fresh kaldi step and followed the guideline and successfully installed tools (and required extras including portaudio) and src.

Problem is when is try to install gst-plugin i am getting following error while running make:

g++ -shared -DPIC -o libgstonlinegmmdecodefaster.so -L/home/naqvi/kaldi/src/lib -lgstbase-1.0 -lgstcontroller-1.0 -lgmodule-2.0 -lgthread-2.0 -lgstreamer-1.0 -lgobject-2.0 -lglib-2.0 -lglib-2.0 -lkaldi-online -lkaldi-lat -lkaldi-decoder -lkaldi-feat -lkaldi-transform -lkaldi-gmm -lkaldi-hmm -lkaldi-tree -lkaldi-matrix  -lkaldi-util -lkaldi-base  ../../tools/portaudio/install/lib/libportaudio.a -lasound -Wl,-soname=libgstonlinegmmdecodefaster.so -Wl,--no-as-needed -Wl,-rpath=/home/naqvi/kaldi/src/lib -lrt -pthread -lgstbase-1.0 -lgstcontroller-1.0 -lgmodule-2.0 -lgthread-2.0 -lgstreamer-1.0 -lgobject-2.0 -lglib-2.0 -lglib-2.0 -lkaldi-online -lkaldi-lat -lkaldi-decoder -lkaldi-feat -lkaldi-transform -lkaldi-gmm -lkaldi-hmm -lkaldi-tree -lkaldi-matrix  -lkaldi-util -lkaldi-base  ../../tools/portaudio/install/lib/libportaudio.a -lasound -Wl,-soname=libgstonlinegmmdecodefaster.so -Wl,--no-as-needed -Wl,-rpath=/home/naqvi/kaldi/src/lib -lrt -pthread /home/naqvi/kaldi/tools/openfst/lib/libfst.so /usr/lib/libatlas.so.3 /usr/lib/libf77blas.so.3 /usr/lib/libcblas.so.3 /usr/lib/liblapack_atlas.so.3 -lm -lpthread -ldl  -Wl,-rpath=/home/naqvi/kaldi/tools/openfst/lib  -rdynamic \

Can some body guide me what i am doing wrong here? Tried rebuilding and clone many times but still no luck.

The way you are supposed to build that stuff is, I think,
cd src/
make ext

That makes the 'online' subdirectory, which by default is not a target
of the Makefile.
