    Build gstreamer from source (git checkouts):
    --------------------------------------------

    Additionally, if you do not configure with -qt-xcb (for QT only with gstreamer), you should also install these development packages:

    sudo apt-get install libxcb-keysyms1-dev libxcb-image0-dev libxcb-shm0-dev libxcb-icccm4-dev libxcb-sync0-dev libxcb-xfixes0-dev libxcb-shape0-dev libxcb-randr0-dev libxcb-render-util0-dev

    Some of these packages depend on others in this list, so installing one may cause others to be automatically installed. Other distributions may provide system packages with similar names.

    Basic Qt dependencies:

    sudo apt-get install libfontconfig1-dev libdbus-1-dev libfreetype6-dev libudev-dev


    Dependencies for multimedia:

    sudo apt-get install libasound2-dev libavcodec-dev libavformat-dev libswscale-dev libgstreamer0.10-dev libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-dev gstreamer-tools gstreamer0.10-plugins-good gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad

    QtWebKit dependencies:

    sudo apt-get install libicu-dev libsqlite3-dev libxslt1-dev libssl-dev

    Navigate to the source directory needed for the build:

    Check out the sources, one by one:


    git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/gstreamer/gstreamer
    git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/gstreamer/gst-plugins-base
    git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/gstreamer/gst-plugins-good
    git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/gstreamer/gst-plugins-bad
    git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/gstreamer/gst-plugins-ugly
    git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/gstreamer/gst-libav
    git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/gstreamer/gst-python
    git clone https://cgit.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer-vaapi

    Prepare the target directories where the binaries will reside:

    sudo mkdir -p /apps/gstreamer/git
    sudo mkdir -p /apps/gst-plugins-base/git
    sudo mkdir -p /apps/gst-plugins-good/git
    sudo mkdir -p /apps/gst-plugins-bad/git
    sudo mkdir -p /apps/gst-plugins-ugly/git
    sudo mkdir -p /apps/gst-libav/git
    sudo mkdir -p /apps/gst-python/git
    sudo mkdir -p /apps/gstreamer-vaapi/git



    Write an initial module file for gstreamer, to be expanded on completion when dependencies are built:

    ## by Dennis Mungai on December 30 2016
    ##
    set appname gstreamer
    set version git
    set prefix /apps/${appname}/${version}/

    set url "https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/"
    set msg "This module adds gstreamer v$version to various paths\n\nGstreamer Official Site: $url\n"

    proc ModulesHelp { } {
    puts stderr "$msg"
    }

    module-whatis "$msg"

    conflict gstreamer

    prepend-path PATH ${prefix}/bin
    prepend-path LD_LIBRARY_PATH ${prefix}/lib
    prepend-path PKG_CONFIG_PATH ${prefix}lib/pkgconfig



    Now, to build:

    Check out all sources above and navigate to each build directory:



    cd gstreamer
    git pull
    ./autogen.sh
    ./configure --prefix=/apps/gstreamer/git --enable-gtk-doc
    time make -j$(nproc)
    sudo make install
    cd ..

    cd gst-plugins-base
    git pull
    module load gstreamer/git
    ./autogen.sh --prefix=/apps/gst-plugins-base/git --enable-gtk-doc --enable-iso-codes --enable-orc
    time make -j$(nproc)
    sudo make install
    cd ..

    cd gst-plugins-good
    git pull
    module load gstreamer/git
    ./autogen.sh --prefix=/apps/gst-plugins-good/git --enable-gtk-doc --enable-orc
    time make -j$(nproc)
    sudo make install
    cd ..

    cd gst-plugins-ugly
    git pull
    ./autogen.sh --prefix=/apps/gst-plugins-ugly/git --enable-gtk-doc --enable-orc
    time make -j$(nproc)
    sudo make install
    cd ..

    cd gst-libav
    git pull
    ./autogen.sh --prefix=/apps/gst-libav/git --enable-gtk-doc --enable-orc
    time make -j$(nproc)
    sudo make install
    cd ..

    cd gst-plugins-bad
    git pull
    ./autogen.sh --prefix=/apps/gst-plugins-bad/git --enable-gtk-doc --enable-orc --with-cuda-prefix=/usr/local/cuda
    time make -j$(nproc)
    sudo make install
    cd ..

    To build python bindings:

    cd gst-python
    module load gstreamer/git
    git pull
    PYTHON=/usr/bin/python2 ./autogen.sh
    PYTHON=/usr/bin/python2 ./configure --prefix=/apps/gstreamer/git
    time make -j$(nproc)
    sudo make install
    cd ..
