hi all,
I am working in i.MX535 QSB board, in that i am using the pre-built image of gstreamer for capturing and streaming the videos, i need to cross compile the source code of gstreamer, is there any procedure to compile, if it so can anyone help me with any document or websites.
Thanks,
shan
Dear all,
Kindly help me, in one issue. I am new to this forum.
I want to cross compile GStreamer for ARM CortexA9 platform. I have tried it with peta-linux and yocto-sdk tool chains, but eachtime, its not compiled and give me the same error with both the tools chains.
I have given the following commands for configure:
sudo ./configure CC=/opt/poky/1.6.2/sysroots/x86_64-pokysdk-linux/usr/bin/arm-poky-linux-gnueabi/arm-poky-linux-gnueabi-gcc CXX=/opt/poky/1.6.2/sysroots/x86_64-pokysdk-linux/usr/bin/arm-poky-linux-gnueabi/arm-poky-linux-gnueabi-g++ --with-sysroot=/opt/poky/1.6.2/sysroots/ --host=arm --disable-loadsave --disable-tests --disable-examples ${CONFIGURE_FLAGS}
It configures as below:
Configuration

Compiler : /opt/poky/1.6.2/sysroots/x86_64-pokysdk-linux/usr/bin/arm-poky-linux-gnueabi/arm-poky-linux-gnueabi-gcc -std=gnu99
Package name : GStreamer source release

I get the following errors:

Kindly help me, how to resolve this error.
If I configure on X86 machine, it compiles well

hi all,
i tried to cross compile the liboil-0.3.14 for the gstreamer it shows the following error, i don't know what to do, can any one help me to fix this error
Configure Command:
./configure --host=arm-none-linux-gnueabi --target=arm-none-linux-gnueabi PLATFORM=MX5X --enable-shared --prefix=/home/oviserver/shanmugam/testing_gst/liboil-0.3.14
Tool Chain i had used:
arm2007q1 toolchain
export PATH=$PATH:/opt/toolchains/2007q1/squashfs-root/bin/

Yes, another missing library.
I told you, it is easier using Yocto or LTIB.
hi
when i tried to configure the gstreamer plugin [gst-fsl-plugin-2.0.3.orig] its not configuring it shows the following error, can any one tell me what is the error ? is it cofigure path error?

Hard to say what is wrong. Your toolchain use seems invalid but I cannot spot why from the error log only. You may need to check the --host --target options.
hi
first i configure the [gst-fsl-plugin-2.0.3.orig] it shows the error
configure: error: you need gstreamer development packages installed !
And i configure the gst-plugin-base it shows
checking for LIBOIL... no
configure: error: liboil-0.3.14 or later is required
And i download the liboil-0.3.14.tar.gz and configure it no errors, when i give make command it shows the error
ERROR:
../liboil/.libs/liboil-0.3.so: undefined reference to `oil_cpu_detect_arch'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

can you help me to fix this problem, i dont know what to do
Note:
If i compile the liboil and then i can able to compile the whole source
Thanks

hi
i want to use the gstreamer for an another arm platform so,if i get a procedure it would helps me a lot
Thanks,
shan
Do you need to cross compile it to upgrade it or another reason?
In case you wish to upgrade it, I'd suggest you to use Yocto for it.
hi OtavioSalvador,
i don't want to upgrade it, i need to customize it for the client requirement, is it possible with the freescale's IMX_MMCODECS_11.09
Thanks,
shan
So it depends how used to LTIB you are. I always use Yocto for projects and customer projects so it'd be my choice but if you have an working solution based in LTIB stick to it.
thanks, and do you know how to cross compile the gstreamer source, is there any special procedure, why i am asking was i haven't ever compiled the source
Yes; but I advice you to use LTIB or Yocto to make it. The shortest route is to use a pre-build toolchain and just build those libraries but needs to be careful to have compatible ABI objects.
If you want, learm more about Yocto at http://www.yoctoproject.org
