GStreamer uses a *large* array of tools and libraries, most of which are

optional. We have attempted to make sure that any code that depends on

optional libraries doesn't get built unless you have those libraries. If

you find this not to be the case, please, let us know by filing a bug

report at http://bugzilla.gnome.org/.

On Debian/Ubuntu, the easiest way to install most build requirements is:

        sudo apt-get build-dep gst-plugins-good1.0

Required tools:

===============

An extra set of tools is required if you wish to build GStreamer

from git (using autogen.sh):

autoconf  >= 2.68   https://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/

automake  >= 1.11   https://www.gnu.org/software/automake/

gettext   >= 0.17   https://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/

libtool   >= 2.2.6  https://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/

pkgconfig >= 0.9.0  https://www.freedesktop.org/software/pkgconfig/

Required libraries:

===================

Package:        GStreamer

Version:        1.x (same 1.x version as this package)

Recommended:    Latest 1.x

URL:            http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/

DebianPackage:  libgstreamer1.0-dev

Notes:          The required version is updated frequently, so the version

                listed in this file is often out of date. If you are compiling

                from git master, you will usually need GStreamer core and

                gst-plugins-base from git master as well.

Package:        GStreamer Base Plugins

Version:        1.x (same 1.x version as this package)

Recommended:    Latest 1.x

URL:            http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/

DebianPackage:  libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0-dev

Notes:          The required version is updated frequently, so the version

                listed in this file is often out of date. If you are compiling

                from git master, you will usually need GStreamer core and

                gst-plugins-base from git master as well.

Optional libraries:

===================

This file lists supporting libraries for which gst-plugins-good contains

plugins, as well as their minimum required version. You can find the

corresponding plugins in ext/(library)

Package:        Orc

Version:        >= 0.4.17

Recommended:    Latest 0.4.x

URL:            http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/src/orc/

DebianPackage:  liborc-0.4-dev

Notes:		Used by many plugins for accelerating SIMD processing using

                run-time generated assembly. Not a hard requirement, but

                highly recommended. Packagers, please hard-depend on liborc.

                The git repository is http://cgit.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/orc/

                (all versions on entropywave.com are outdated)
