Compiling GStreamer On The XO

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

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

Getting Dependencies

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

We also need to compile the newest liboil from source checkout:

git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/liboil

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.
