+- if you want to install it (not required, but what you usually want to do), run
make install
-- You should create a registry for things to work.
- If you ran make install in the previous step, run
- gst-register
- as root.
-
- If you didn't install, run
- tools/gst-register
- as a normal user.
- try out a simple test:
- gst-launch fakesrc num_buffers=5 ! fakesink
- (If you didn't install GStreamer, again prefix gst-launch with tools/)
+ gst-launch -v fakesrc num_buffers=5 ! fakesink
+ (If you didn't install GStreamer, prefix gst-launch with tools/)
If it outputs a bunch of messages from fakesrc and fakesink, everything is
ok.
+ If it did not work, keep in mind that you might need to adjust the
+ PATH and/or LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variables to make the system
+ find GStreamer in the prefix where you installed (by default that is /usr/local).
+
- After this, you're ready to install gst-plugins, which will provide the
functionality you're probably looking for by now, so go on and read
that README.
