I have a small request to some eagle-eyed documentation motivated person :) If I listed all of the dependencies that GStreamer/GStreamer Plugins required -- the README file would become even more vastly unreadable than it already is -- considering the number of combinations of possible media types you could have. So, instead of listing everything from a52dec-devel through to zlib-devel seperately for "Multimedia Dependencies" -- does anyone have a suggestion as to a paragraph or two that I could add to the GARNOME README that essentially says: ---[ example ]--- * GARNOME will require some extra third party libraries if you would like to build all the multimedia components -- obtaining these is your responsibility -- however, good places to look are: < For Debian/Red Hat/Slack/SuSE/Fedora/Ubuntu/JDS/other: <hyperlink> > Make sure you have the relevant '-dev' libraries installed, otherwise you may see failures like the ones listed in the FAQ. ---[ example ]--- Then, in the FAQ, there'd be a question like: ---[ example ]--- * desktop/gst-plugins and all current distributions: If your build fails with: ... grep: /usr/lib/libmp4v2.la: no such file or directory /usr/bin/sed: can't read /usr/lib/libmp4v2.la: no such file or directory libtool: link: `/usr/lib/libmp4v2.la' is not a valid libtool archive make[6]: ***[libgstfaac.la] Error 1 ... Please see the documentation section regarding multimedia plugin support in GARNOME. ---[ example ]--- I ask, because I have a feeling that this kind of issue is going to crop up more and more as people discover that GStreamer is 'the-way-of-GARNOME-2.1x' and that it isn't as cut-and-dried as the old 'just install fifth-toe/xine-lib' solution.
