Developer note: When building from CVS sources, you will need to run
autogen.sh to generate the build system files.
-Unfortunately, there is a bug in automake which causes it to use a large
-amount of memory when generating plugins/Makefile.in. The following patch,
-which you may wish to apply to automake (version 1.4), fixes this problem.
-It is also fixed in versions of automake 1.4f and later.
-Alternatively, ensure that you have at least 512Mb of memory on your system,
-and be prepared to wait a little while when running automake (or autogen.sh).
+GStreamer is cutting-edge stuff. To be a CVS developer, you need
+cutting-edge tools.
-The autogen.sh script will automatically detect an unpatched automake and give
-a warning. It will also generate a patched version of automake in the top
-build directory, which you can use by putting it in a directory in your $PATH
-ahead of the unpatched version of automake.
