There is nothing related to gstreamer as > such. it looks for the module in PREFIX/lib/emotion/modules/ (where PREFIX is your install prefix, eg /usr/local or /usr depending in how emotion is compiled and installed). you will have a few directories in this dir. xine, gstreamer and gstreamer1 (depending which modules are compiled and/or installed). each of these dirs has a subdir for version etc. of efl (as of efl 1.9 we stopped using architecture info in the dir name, so you might have linux-gnu-x86_64-1.7.9 (replace linux, nu and x86_64 with your os, system and architecture). as of 1.9 its just v-1.9, v-1.10, v-1.11 etc. for the dir. each of these dirs shouldhave a module.so in it - thats the actual module .so file that is loaded > > Can you point to link for a tar package for Efl 1.7.8 so that I can > > build emotion 1.7.8 from it .. > > http://download.enlightenment.org/releases/ > > all releases up to 1.7.x are there. newer releases are elsewhere. > > Sathish -- I saw the link. There is nothing called efl 1.7.8. But I see > emotion 1.7.8. Can just download emotion 1.7.8 and build it. I thought if I > build efl, all the dependencies will be solved. as of efl 1.8 we merged eina, evas, edje, emotion, efreet, etc. into a single distribution (elementary is still separate). so we just ship efl-1.x.x now (1.8 and on) and elementary-1.x.x, evas_generic_loaders-1.x.x and emotion_generic_players-1.x.x thats why we moved to a new dir for releases as of 1.8 on as we merged things at the source level. > If I just build emotion 1.7.8, it was asking encore, Eva's of the 1.7.8. So > is that I have to build them and then build emotion 1.7.8?? yes. you will neeed to build all of them separately to provide dependencies. as of 1.8 we merged so you only need efl, elementary, evas_generic_loaders and emotion_generic_players (the laast 2 are optional but recommended - especially evas_generic_loaders) > > Can you help me with this. > > > > Thanks, > > Sathish > > > > > > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Disclaimer~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ > > Information contained and transmitted by this e-mail is confidential and > > proprietary to IGATE and its affiliates and is intended for use only by the > > recipient.
