I had assumed, wrongly, that xfce had already moved to the current (1.4) series of gstreamer instead of the old series . But I see that e.g. parole mentions 0.1 or 1.x. But we do not mention that flag except in some of the old plugins. I also wonder _where_ gtk+-2 is getting pulled in by the book. For the 1.4 plugins, starting with -base, I can see that gtk+-3 is optional. But I don't immediately see which dependency will provide gtk+-2 in any of this. Looking at my latest logs (with both gtk+-2 and gtk+-3 present) the main mentions of gtk seem to be for gtk-doc in configure / install. But there are warnings about deprecated gtk-3.0 functions in the old *base* plugins, and one message from gst-plugins-good-0.10.31: checking which gtk+ version to compile examples against (optional)... 2.0 (>= 2.14.0) Summary - I think that using gtk+-3 for OLD gstreamer plugins is probably not worth recommending, but the whole thing looks more complex than I had expected. And I am not inclined to spend any time on this. ĸen -- This one goes up to eleven! -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
