Openframeworks: failed to compile openframeworks on Ubuntu 15.10 due to gstreamer dependency

Created on 8 Dec 2015  路  9Comments  路  Source: openframeworks/openFrameworks

After upgrading to Ubuntu 15.10, I can't build OpenFrameworks anymore.
Here is the error I got when running ./compileOF.sh script.
Note that I ran install_dependencies.sh script before.

In file included from /home/antoine/lib-src/openFrameworks/libs/openFrameworks/video/ofGstVideoPlayer.h:3:0,
                 from /home/antoine/lib-src/openFrameworks/libs/openFrameworks/video/ofGstVideoPlayer.cpp:8:
/home/antoine/lib-src/openFrameworks/libs/openFrameworks/video/ofGstUtils.h:14:29: fatal error: gst/video/video.h: No such file or directory

libgstreamer has been updated to version 1.6 with Ubuntu 15.10 (while it was at 1.4.5 with Ubuntu 15.04), maybe this included some changes in include files ?

can you try installing libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0-dev

sudo apt-get install libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0-dev

i'm on ubuntu 15.10 and it works fine for me, what do you get if you run:

pkg-config gstreamer-1.0 --cflags

They moved the config.h in 1.6. See here: https://github.com/ofnode/of/issues/33

the makefiles use pkgconfig so they should be doing the right thing no matter what

thanks @aspeteRakete I've already see that, but still stuck with video.h

@arturoc :

$ pkg-config gstreamer-1.0 --cflags
-pthread -I/usr/include/gstreamer-1.0 -I/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gstreamer-1.0/include -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/glib-2.0/include 

but none of them contains a gst/video/video.h

maybe I should restart building from scratch

can you try installing libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0-dev

sudo apt-get install libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0-dev

@arturoc : it's already there for a while

and I'm trying to find a deb package that contains this video.h file, without success for now

btw, you're right @arturoc, libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0-dev does contains the missing file

but I have to reinstall it to fix the issue, and I still don't understand why...

thanks for the prompt reply btw

that's strange not sure what might have happened, i installed everything from scratch on a clean install of ubuntu 15.10 to test and it was working fine so it should have been something specific to your machine.

yep, maybe something wrong happen during the upgrade from 15.04, anyway this is fixed now :-)
