Hi everybody,

as this was a common subject on IRC and on this mailing list in the past
I decided to write some kind of guide about how to get GStreamer working
as good as possible on the Raspberry Pi. This will also be added to the
GStreamer Wiki once it works again.


I) Preparations

PARTA
One of the first tools that you should get if you’re hacking with GStreamer or want to play with the latest version without doing evil things to your system is probably the gst-uninstalled script. It’s the equivalent of Python’s virtualenv for hacking on GStreamer. :)

The documentation around getting this set up is a bit frugal, though, so here’s my attempt to clarify things. I was going to put this on our wiki, but that’s a bit search-engine unfriendly, so probably easiest to just keep it here. The setup I outline below can probably be automated further, and comments/suggestions are welcome.

First, get build dependencies for GStreamer core and plugins on your distribution. Commands to do this on some popular distributions follow. This will install a lot of packages, but should mean that you won’t have to play find-the-plugin-dependency for your local build.

Fedora: $ sudo yum-builddep gstreamer1-*
Debian/Ubuntu: $ sudo apt-get build-dep gstreamer1.0-plugins-{base,good,bad,ugly}
Gentoo: having the GS

##Read-only FS on Arch Linux ARM

Unlike your typical computer where you usually shutdown properly, I cannot rely on this during the use of my Raspberry Pi. If the Raspberry Pi is improperly shutdown too many times, data corruption in the file system leading to unbootable SD card may result. So we should use a read-only file system.

Full instructions and explanations are obtained from this link but you can run these commands directly. I modified some of the instructions for personal convenience.

#Update everything first, remove cache then reboot to detect problems
pacman -Syu  
#May be needed if the pacman version has changed during the update

	then echo "You need to pass a password!"
	echo "Usage:"
