How to compile C/C++ program with GStreamer
I'm trying to compile this code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <gst/gst.h>
int main (int argc,
char *argv)
{
const gchar *nano_str;
guint major, minor, micro, nano;
gst_init (&argc, &argv);
gst_version (&major, &minor, µ, &nano);
if (nano == 1)
nano_str = "(CVS)";
else if (nano == 2)
nano_str = "(Prerelease)";
else
nano_str = "";
printf ("This program is linked against GStreamer %d.%d.%d %sn",
major, minor, micro, nano_str);
return 0;
}
When I use this command in terminal:
libtool --mode=link gcc `pkg-config --cflags --libs gstreamer-1.0` -o main main.c
I get this error:
Package gstreamer-1.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gstreamer-1.0.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'gstreamer-1.0' found
libtool: link: gcc -o main main.c
And this error:
main.c:3:21: fatal error: gst/gst.h: No such file or directory
But I have installed GStreamer 1.0 and libtool with apt-get. Do you have any ideas where should I start? I have dig whole Internet searching the answer and no one has the answer.

gst/gst.h is provided by libgstreamer1.0-dev. Install it:
sudo apt-get install libgstreamer1.0-dev
In Code::Blocks, you can set custom include locations and linker flags. In the Project menu, click on Build options:

That helped a lot! But now I wonder how did you know that this is required? GStreamer Development Manual doesn't say a word about this. One more question would be what to type in "linker settings" in Codeblocks for example to allow compilation with IDE?

@dwinar Usually in Ubuntu header files for some package (saysomething) are provided by the correspondingdevpackage (saysomething-devorlibsomething-dev). Unless the manual is Ubuntu specific, it will probably just say "Install the development files" or something like that (or assume you compiled from source).

Thank you very much. I'll remember this in the future. I have solved my IDE issue also :) Yes I knew where to find project settings but I didn't know what to write there but now I found it. I had add compiler option: "pkg-config --cflags gstreamer-1.0" and in linker settingspkg-config --libs gstreamer-1.0

For people using Eclipse you should do the followings to make the project from within Eclipse:
Right click the project name and select properties. Under C/C++ Build, select Settings.
Under Tool Settings, open GCC C complier and select miscellaneous.
Add the following to other flags text box:
`pkg-config --cflags gstreamer-1.0` -fPIC
Under Tool Settings, open GCC C++ Linker and select miscellaneous. Add the following to linker flags text box:
`pkg-config --libs gstreamer-1.0 gobject-2.0 glib-2.0`
Under Tool Settings, open GCC C++ Linker and select Libraries. Add gstreamer-1.0, gobject-2.0 and glib-2.0 under Libraries section.
Your application should compile and link successfully then.
