Tyler,
thanks for your reply.
I have tried that, with the following results.
Mule ~/gstreamer/gst-template/test $ libtoolize --copy --force
libtoolize:
`/opt/mv_pro_4.0.1/montavista/common/bin/../share/aclocal-1.8/libtool.m4'
is serial 47, less than 52 in `aclocal.m4'
To remain compatible, you should update your `aclocal.m4' by running
aclocal.
Mule ~/gstreamer/gst-template/test $ aclocal
/usr/share/aclocal/nspr.m4:8: warning: underquoted definition of
AM_PATH_NSPR
/usr/share/aclocal/nspr.m4:8: run info '(automake)Extending aclocal'
/usr/share/aclocal/nspr.m4:8: or see
http://sources.redhat.com/automake/automake.html#Extending-aclocal
Then I tried configure, and it bombed with the same libtool.m4 /
ltmain.sh sanity check error
I'm sure I'm doing something wrong, just not sure what.
When starting from the scratch gst-template, I modify the autogen.sh to
reflect a single source file that exists in the src dir, gstplugin.c
I verify that the src/Makefile.am also refers only to that file. I
looked through the configure.ac, but it doesn't seem to contain anything
specific to source files, so I left it alone.
Same error.
But I'm sure I'm missing a critical step(s), since I want to cross
compile, and that autogen wants to call configure. When I call configure
in the TI_build directories, I must prefix the command with the cross
compiler I want, such as:
CC=arm_v5t_le-gcc ./configure --build=i686-linux --host=arm-linux
--prefix=/DM355/filesys/opt/gstreamer
CFLAGS=-I"/DM355/filesys/usr/include
-I/DM355/filesys/opt/gstreamer/include/xdais"
LIBS=-L"/DM355/filesys/opt/system_files_gstreamer"
Seems like I should be adding a line to the autogen script or similar to
tell it to use this cross compiler.
That said, I thought that worst case, I just would get a plugin built
for the x86 instead of cross compiled for my ARM, but instead, it
doesn't build at all.
Anyway, I appreciate any thoughts/suggestions you have.

Mike,
Have you ran "libtoolize --copy --force"? Does it give an error?
As far as changing a existing plugin. You will have to edit
src/Makefile.am then run automake to change which files it compiles.
Then run autogen.sh. I 'm not much good at automake, but I know there
are other settings at the top level that you can/should edit also.
Package name for example. You also probably want to change the .so
you are making. This is also done in src/Makefile.am.
If you copy an existing plugin, or use the gst-template, you still
have to make the same changes to the automake files. Unless you want
your plugin called libgstplugin.so.

Hey all,
I have downloaded and successfully built the ti plugins for the
Davinci gstreamer, but I want to make a plugin of my own.
I have read the gstreamer plugin writers guide, and thought I'd
start from the gst-template.
That only comes with a autogen.sh to make everything, and it bombs
with the following error:
configure: error:
*** [Gentoo] sanity check failed! ***
*** libtool.m4 and ltmain.sh have a version mismatch! ***
*** (libtool.m4 = 1.5.26, ltmain.sh = 1.5.8) ***
Please run:
libtoolize --copy --force
I have also tried to just copy one of the ti_plugin dir, and
wanted to just replace the source files with mine, and edit the
makefile appropriately, but I failed.
I'm clearly not as well versed in this build procedure as I thought.
Can anyone either
a) tell me how to get the gst-template to build using a cross compile
b) give/point to a few simple steps on how to build a new plugin,
(beyond what's in the plugins' writers guide)
or
c)suggest how to copy an existing, building plugin and modify it
to just use my source files and then cross compile.
Sorry for my ignorance,
Mike
