gstreamer.eclass
Description
Eclass to make external gst-plugins
emergable on a per-plugin basis
and to solve the problem with gst-plugins
generating far too much
unneeded dependencies.
GStreamer consuming applications should depend on the specific plugins
they need as defined in their source code. Usually you can find that
out by grepping the source tree for factory_make
. If it uses playbin
plugin, consider adding media-plugins/gst-plugins-meta
dependency, but
also list any packages that provide explicitly requested plugins.
Functions
- gstreamer_system_link <gst-libs/gst/audio:gstreamer-audio> [...]
-
Walks through makefiles in order to make sure build will link against system libraries.
Takes a list of path fragments and corresponding
pkgconfig
libraries separated by colon (:
). Will replace the path fragment by the output ofpkgconfig
. - gstreamer_multilib_src_configure
-
Handles logic common to configuring gstreamer plugins
- gstreamer_multilib_src_compile
-
Compiles requested gstreamer plugin.
- gstreamer_multilib_src_install
-
Installs requested gstreamer plugin.
- gstreamer_multilib_src_install_all
-
Installs documentation for requested gstreamer plugin, and removes
.la
files.
Variables
- GST_PLUGINS_BUILD ?= ${PN/gst-plugins-/}
-
Defines the plugins to be built. May be set by an ebuild and contain more than one identifier, space separated (only
src_configure
can handle multiple plugins at this time). - GST_PLUGINS_BUILD_DIR ?= ${PN/gst-plugins-/}
-
Actual build directory of the plugin. Most often the same as the configure switch name.
- GST_TARBALL_SUFFIX ?= "xz"
-
Most projects hosted on https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org mirrors provide tarballs as
tar.bz2
ortar.xz
. This eclass defaults to xz. This is because the gstreamer mirrors are moving to only havexz
tarballs for new releases. - GST_ORG_MODULE ?= $PN
-
Name of the module as hosted on https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org mirrors. Leave unset if package name matches module name.
