let's put everything back with the new liboil:


yum install -y totem totem-mozplugin gstreamer gstreamer-python gstreamer-pluging-base gstreamer-plugins-good gnonlin
We also need to compile the newest liboil from source (as root):
git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/liboil
cd liboil
./autogen.sh
make
make install

This is a work-in-progress document. Any suggestions/better ideas are much appreciated :)

NOTE: YOU DO NOT WANT TO DO THIS UNLESS YOU /NEED/ CUTTING-EDGE GSTREAMER ON THE XO. These should be new enough for most media work--this is necessary primarily for development of the Projects/VideoEditing application.

This guide is based on the GStreamer Setup Page from the PiTiVi Wiki.

Getting Dependencies

Lots to install:

su -l
yum install -y make gcc autoconf automake gettext-devel libtool cvs svn git bison bison-devel flex flex-devel glib2-devel libxml2 libxml2-devel alsa-devel alsa-lib-devel libogg-devel libvorbis-devel libtheora-devel libX11-devel libXv-devel

we need to remove liboil so we can get a newer version. this clobbers totem, totem-mozplugin along with all of gstreamer, so we need to do some removing, installing, and rebuilding. get the liboil rpms: http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/idpl/6705758/com/liboil-0.3.14-1.fc9.i386.rpm.html http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/idpl/6705759/com/liboil-devel-0.3.14-1.fc9.i386.rpm.html

yum remove liboil
rpm -vi liboil-0.3.14-1.fc9.i386.rpm
rpm -vi liboil-devel-0.3.14-1.fc9.i386.rpm

let's put everything back with the new liboil:

yum install -y totem totem-mozplugin gstreamer gstreamer-python gstreamer-pluging-base gstreamer-plugins-good gnonlin

Compiling GStreamer

Once the dependencies are met, instructions on the PiTiVi GStreamer Setup Page work more-or-less the same way. This takes forever on the XO.

I'm having trouble getting the gstreamer-python bindings updated without breaking all of Sugar. Any ideas?
