What would happen if we simply stopped including the --with-gstreamer option in the build? Mac and Windows builds don't use it, and it only applies to Linux. I haven't investigated the code much to see how the gstreamer libraries are used. The Linux distros now mostly use Freedesktop lower level interfaces except I don't know what Unity uses. Is building with gstreamer still needed/compliant with this? In short, how are video applications determined in Linux now? Do we need a different approach for integration of video objects in Linux? If anyone knows the history of this, it would be very helpful to this discussion. -- ------------------------------------------ MzK "Less is MORE." --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org
