If GStreamer is that problematic to obtain, we could import these 30
symbols that we use from it via run-time dynamic linking. That way we don't
need the GStreamer libraries to link against at compile time, only the
header files:

  DF *UND*0060
gst_video_overlay_get_type
  DF *UND*0196
gst_bus_set_sync_handler
  DF *UND*003b
gst_message_get_structure
  DF *UND*00b1
gst_element_query_duration
  DF *UND*0136
gst_pad_get_current_caps
  DF *UND*000a
gst_pipeline_get_bus
  DF *UND*007f
gst_bus_get_type
  DF *UND*0174

We already do with ODBC for example, where we will link against either

Re: English Dictionaries gives an error while attempting to download

Sorry I missed this thread earlier, and just noticed the pointer to it in a mail
today.  (Being already subscribed to the list, the extra CC to get my attention
didn't work, maybe I need to adjust some of my filters).

I'll look into this tomorrow.

BTW, filing a ticket at https://sourceforge.net/support is an option too, if
I've missed something on the list that needs attention.

CentOS 6 ships with glib (package name: glib2) 2.28 as per

So this is indeed an issue: we would need a distribution that ships with

On the other hand, we want something as old as possible since builds 
done with too recent versions of glibc (not to confuse with the above,

Can we define the problem better?

I assume the gstreamer license hasn't changed. So the licensing issues 
holds the same whether we use 0.10 or 1.x.


On CentOS 5 we used to install it in the system as described here:
https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Building_Guide_AOO/Step_by_step#CentOS_5_for_AOO_4.1.x
(packages gstreamer-devel and gstreamer-plugins-base-devel)

CentOS 6 indeed still ships with 0.10
http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6/os/x86_64/Packages/
and it seems that EPEL (a semi-official extra repository with additional 
packages) does not ship it either.


The reason for using CentOS 6 is "we use a Linux system that is old 
enough for any user system to be the same or more recent"; this is to 
prevent glibc conflicts.


So the real question is: does gstreamer 1.0 (or its dependencies) 
require a glibc version that is higher than 2.12 (as found in CentOS 6), 
or other dependencies that have the same problem? Otherwise we can 
probably look into building it.

Re: gstreamer

2018-03-14 Thread Damjan Jovanovic 
I thought the "external download dependency" you were talking about, meant
distribution of GStreamer with an AOO release, which is not allowed.

Building against GStreamer header files, and then only linking to the
GStreamer libraries on the end user's system, if present, sounds allowed
("Can Apache projects rely on components under prohibited licenses" on
https://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html)

Just FYI: Ubuntu drinks its source from upstream Debian pool, i.e.,
< https://packages.debian.org/stretch/libgstreamer1.0-dev >

Thus, assuming a 'switch', careful evaluate if a Debian 'meta-framework' --
as some have called it -- might be a better 'official' build platform for
AOO community releases.

Of course, just my *unsolicited* input.

If gstreamer 1.0 was incorporated, how much larger would the compiled code be?

If builds moved to Ubuntu, a long-term support version should be chosen; 
support for LTS version is 5 years.  Ubuntu 18.04 will issue in April; 16.04 
will be supported until 2021.

Either we make gstreamer 1.0 an external download dependency,
so we can continue to build on CentOS6, or else we decide that
we switch to Ubuntu as our "official" build platform for our
