gstreamer

2016-08-29 Thread Gav
Hi All,

I have a successful build on our Ubuntu 14.04 in prelim
tests before we migrate. That's the good news.

As per subject; I could not get gstreamer to work so chose to
disable it to get on with the rest of the build.

I could not find a suitable ubuntu package to install is the issue.

Can someone enlighten me please so I can enable gstreamer
again.

Thanks

Gav...

I think there was general consensus to make gstreamer
a external download dependency. As of this date, this
has not yet been folded in. Who can take point on that?

​Maybe here?

​http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/libgstreamer0.10-0

I did see information that  Ubuntu may already use gstreamer (libs?) in
some form?

Great, that works fine, gstreamer enabled again.

btw I've been using system Java 7 1.7.0_111 and works fine, but do we
want to keep using this? (I'd think so)

Hi Gavin, this won't help you with GStreamer since I checked and it is 
not immediately clear that it would help, but I suggest to use -and 
update if needed; we can of course create a wiki account for you- the 
following resources:


https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Building_Guide_AOO/Step_by_step
a section for Ubuntu 14.04 with all needed packages.

https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Build_Instructions
Outdated, but still contain useful hints.

http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/openoffice/devtools/build-scripts/4.1.2/unxlngix6/
Our build scripts for 4.1.2. These configure options are for a release 
build, but ideally we want this to succeed on the buildbot. Languages 
can be left out (for example, the Windows buildbot only uses en and de) 
and the package formats can be reduced too, but these should be the 
reference options.


And thanks a lot for this work. It won't help us with building releases, 
but it will make buildbot maintenance easier for both Infra and the project.


Regards,
  Andrea.

​Gavin --

As I don't see any information in the wiki links Andrea provided directly
pertaining to gstreamer, can you give us an accounting of what IS installed
vis a vis gstreamer on this system? It could be that our configure script
needs some tweaking.​

​ We use PKG_CONFIG exclusively toe "find" packs on systems, and sometimes
that does not work for all installed packages.​

Re: gstreamer

2018-03-14 Thread Damjan Jovanovic
I thought the "external download dependency" you were talking about, meant
distribution of GStreamer with an AOO release, which is not allowed.

Building against GStreamer header files, and then only linking to the
GStreamer libraries on the end user's system, if present, sounds allowed
("Can Apache projects rely on components under prohibited licenses" on
https://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html)

Re: gstreamer

2018-03-15 Thread Jim Jagielski
Yes, that was my thought as well... We do not bundle it, but
our build system allows for it to be downloaded and built during
the whole build process, just as we do w/ loads of other
dependencies.

As long as we don't bundle it, and as long as it is not a *hard*
dependency, it's not an issue.

gstreamer status for 4.2.0-dev?

2018-05-23 Thread Jim Jagielski
Subj line sez it all... where are we? There was a proposal to make it a 
run-time dependency but afaict there hasn't been any effort yet it doing that.

I know we have a handful of other things TODO re: 4.2.0 but this seems to be an 
inflection point for the Linux builds and so I really think we need to resolve 
this if we have any intent in getting a 4.2.0 beta out in a reasonable time 
frame.

On May 19-20, 2018, I pulled 4.2.0-1 trunk 1831928 and built
OpenOffice with my local build of GCC-5 GNU compiler.
I simply apt- and got
https://packages.debian.org/stretch/libgstreamer1.0-dev from Debian
9.x repository for AMD64.

In my build I experienced no issues opening previous ODT entities nor
creating new ones. On the other hand, after testing a multimedia .mp4
clip (which plays excellently) if I click, i.e., select, an empty area
ApacheOO simply crashes. Here is a small screen recording of the
issue.

What would happen if we simply stopped including the --with-gstreamer
option in the build? Mac and Windows builds don't use it, and it only
applies to Linux. 

I haven't investigated the code much to see how the gstreamer libraries
are used. The Linux distros now mostly use Freedesktop lower level
interfaces except I don't know what Unity uses. Is building with
gstreamer still needed/compliant with this? In short, how are video
applications determined in Linux now? Do we need a different approach
for integration of video objects in Linux?

If anyone knows the history of this, it would be very helpful to this
discussion.

2018-05-28 Thread Peter kovacs
Imho the gstreamer libs are still the method of choice for doing multimedia.

The current state is that trunk can utilize the gstreamer API 1.0.0

We have the issue not resolved the issue to provide gstreamer for different 
Distributions. (Main issue: centos6 is to old to support the new gstreamer 
1.0.0 API)
We have 2 suggestions to solve the issue:
1) implement 0.1.0 and 1.0.0 API. 
2) move the implementation into an optional extention.

Both solutions have currently not followed up. 

All the best

3. Build on a newer CentOS or other distro.
4. Link to 1.0.0 using run-time dynamic linking, using that patch I made,
and only require the gstreamer-1.0.0 tarball at compile time to find the
headers.

This is ONLY for Linux. So, how is multimedia "integrated" in AOO for
Mac and Windows? Can someone point us to the applicable code areas for this?

I have a feeling gstreamer was integrated long ago when no other
multi-media standard/app for Linux existed. Now it seems VLC seems to
the standard for the most part. (This is a dated web page but I think
it's still a good reference:
http://www.yolinux.com/TUTORIALS/LinuxTutorialMimeTypesAndApplications.html). 
Basically, we are supplying gstreamer as a multimedia app to Linux when
maybe this isn't really needed.

The implementation can be found at avmedia/source/

I think we use native API / libs for Windows and Mac.

As I explained in a previous mail, Windows uses DirectShow and Mac uses
QuickTime or MacAVF.

Linux's equivalent of DirectShow is gstreamer. It also builds pipelines of
filters, has codecs, supports embedding into windows, etc.

I think the hope is to continue using CentOS5 for our official AOO community 
builds. If not, then this becomes much easier, but it is, IMO, a major policy 
decision to do that. recall that gstreamer-1.x is incompatible w/ CentOS5.

I have no idea how to do #2 but #1 looks like simple brute force. Certainly not 
elegant but if that's what it takes to get past this holding pattern, then 
that's what we have to do.

The using of gstreamer multimedia backend of OpenOffice was anounced in Oracle 
OpenOffice.org 3.4 Beta 
in April 2010 and the first release with it was the Apache OpenOffice 3.4.0 in 
May 2012.

Previously to play multimedia content in OpenOffice the Java Media Framework 
(JMF) was used
( https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Java/Java_Media_Framework ). 
The JMF wasn't updated since 2003 and supported too small amount of formats in 
contrast to gstreamer.

Some packages provides builds both for old and new systems.
E.g. here ( https://www.onlyoffice.com/en/download-desktop.aspx ) presented 
packages both for old Debian and Ubuntu (Debian 7, Ubuntu 12.04 ) and their new 
releases (Debian 8, Ubuntu 14.04, 16.04, 18.04 ).

Could it be a solution to prepare separate packages?

Thank you for this information, it is useful. I understand the need for
a standardized AV app in some ways, but, assuming an end user's
preferred AV app supports a wide variety of formats, I think it would be
better for AOO (in non-Win, non-Mac) implementations to try to determine
the the end user's AV application, and use that rather than providing a
new AV app. But...a much longer discussion not on this thread.

Re: gstreamer status for 4.2.0-dev?

2018-06-04 Thread Jim Jagielski
I am setup to be able to provide both CentOS5 Linux builds, for "old" systems 
(and gstreamer 0.10), and Ubuntu-or-CentOS6 Linux builds for newer ones (and 
gstreamer 1.x), so if that is the decision, that's fine w/ me. It increases, 
substantially, the total volume of releases we need to do, which is a factor, 
so we need to make sure our distro channel is aware.

I just don't like the one "making" that decision... but that's the only one I'm 
qualified to make since that's the only one I'm qualified to adjust trunk to 
represent (that is, pull the gstreamer-0.10 stuff from 4.1.5 and reincorporate 
it into trunk to exist in parallel w/ the new gstreamer-1.x stuff in there now).

FWIW, our inability to follow-through on this single issue is quite bothersome 
to me...

​I think we'd need to go up to CentOS7 for gstreamer 1.x. Anyway...point

How about we ask the community if we need to support centOS6?
If no one uses CentOS6 maybe we make a fuzz for nothing. I am not aware that 
another distro is using that old versions.

The important thing is how much users we say we need to extend the support to

Re: gstreamer status for 4.2.0-dev?

2018-06-05 Thread Peter Kovacs
We have decided this without considering that gstreamer gstreamer 1.0.0 can not 
compile there.
I am not sure, if we compile gstreamer with Damjan's symbol patch. Will it the 
work despite gstreamer has to be build with a different gcc Version? (I lack 
the experience on this, but my expectation is that it will cause issues)

So I would like to change my mind to switch directly to 7. And resolve issues 
with 6 seperatly. If we find volunteers for it.
I am not sure if it is worth to invest much in centos6 with the current 
volunteers we have. (Despite the fact that the interest or time seems not to 
fit.)

Personally, I have no use for gstreamer... ;-)

But I would be happy to have a 4.2.0-dev

 - without general error on Linux [1]
 - without crash when inserting a frame in Writer (cross platform) [2]
 - with the ability to open ppt files with a double click on Windows [3]

Shouldn't we concentrate on release blockers like these? There is enough
work to do before we can even think about releasing a beta.

That's why the simplest solution is to move to centOS7 for now. We need to

Even if it is not important to all users /devs.

Re: gstreamer status for 4.2.0-dev?

2018-06-06 Thread Jim Jagielski
Let's not focus on CentOS5 vs CentOS6 for now... the issue is that 
gstreamer-1.0 requires that previously supported Linux OSs and platforms will 
no longer be supported; that is, our community builds will no longer work for 
them.

Are we OK with that?

That is the main consideration. Everything else is determined from that 
decision.

So what say we all?

No, it's about what platforms we now provide community binaries for.

To be explicit: With the jump to 4.2.x, we will no longer be supporting older 
Linux platforms that we DID support w/ 4.1.x. This is all about what we change 
regarding what platforms we provide community builds for (and thus "officially" 
support). If we say that all Linux platforms that are too old to use 
gstreamer-1.x (eg: CentOS5, but actually it's a kernel dependency) are no 
longer officially supported, GREAT. But let's just make sure that is our 
decision.

I actually thought one of the considerations of this project was to support as 
many older platforms as possible... if that is NOT the case, then again, we 
need to make that decision explicitly. WHAT is our backwards 
compatibility/support roadmap for 4.2.x??

Yes, "as possible". But when our effort is somewhen to high to support 
the older things, then move on and leave them behind us. Mostly the 
vendor has already given up much earlier. ;-)


But as I'm not a developer I cannot estimate how difficult it is to go

Re: gstreamer status for 4.2.0-dev?

2018-06-06 Thread Peter kovacs
After some thinkibg, I agree with Dave. The Distributions affeced should help 
in supporting the backward compability. We can support and guide through the 
process.
If we find volunteers it could be a small step back into stronger Linux 
Distribution support. If no one is interested it saves us complexity, which is 
also fine.

It would be cool if we write a blog post. We could attach a Forum thread for 
discussion.
Plus a reach out post to the affected distributions. (I think centOS6 is the 
only version affected , but I am not sure.)

I try to make time until weekend for a first blog post draft, if we agree on 
this.

I think there was no big support for supporting gstreamer 0.1.0 on 4.2. 
branch. If those who need it , they should help.
Also I think it makes more sense in such a case to keep maintenance for 
4.1.x branch.


That means we will have to move to centOS7 for building.

Makes sense to me. So our indication for the Release Notes would be 
something like "OpenOffice 4.2.0 is built on CentOS 7 and is expected to

XYZ...)".


I'll check versions of glibc and the "YEAR" and "XYZ" placeholders above 
when I have time. We might also conclude that an Ubuntu LTS version is 
the best choice, but honestly CentOS 7 should definitely be "old enough" 
these days.

I use KVM images. But indeed it's a wise idea to have something that we 
can share, and I believe Vbox images can be converted for use in KVM. 
I've done it in the past if I recall correctly.

​Yes, without gstreamer as part of the my  config, I can build without

Re: Build r1829228 on Linux-32 (gstreamer build problem)

2018-04-25 Thread Jim Jagielski
I think this shows that we need to come to *some* consensus on
how to handle the gstreamer stuff. Either we provide both CentOS6
and Ubuntu builds to our community or we fold in the proposed
gstreamer "work-around" which makes it a purely runtime
concern.

I would love to see how far we can go with the latter, but I am
loath to volunteer someone else to "do the work" since I am
unsure what the exact status of the patch is, how to fold it
into trunk and how to handle building with the patch folded in.

I know that there are other issues related to being at the stage
to branch AOO420 from trunk but this, to me, seems like the
priority at this point.

Does it make sense to reorg the gstreamer module into an extention?
We could then have multiple versions of it.

I mean after all this is only a optional feature, thats important to 
some not all.

So that would mean that our 'official' community builds would
not longer bundle/include it by default? Would we have 2 different
versions of the extension (0.10 and 1.0) or just one?

I like the idea, btw :)

Re: Build r1829228 on Linux-32 (gstreamer build problem)

2018-05-01 Thread Peter kovacs
I think we do have the pain only with Linux. Since some distributions move 
slower then others.

We could bundle the only 1.0.0 with Windows and Mac I think. For Linux we would 
need some logic, that identifies the right gstreamer available on the 
distribution.
Maybe we could even reduce the effort to one certain package.

I do not know about OS/2 or BSD. Maybe the appropiate volunteers could answer 
that. But imho it should not be a problem to create an additional port for this 
on BSD and integrate the right extention on OS/2.

A complete different approach could be not to bundle the extention. It would 
give us the option for Windows user to add the gstreamer into the extention,  
providing them a simplified access.

For Linux a integration into the distribution would be the way. But I do not 
know how we can do that. We need maintainers for that.

​Thanks for this info, Damjan. It would be very useful if we could identify
the Linux media player that would likely be used -- as DirectX is for WNT
and QuickTime for Mac. Maybe VLC? This would mean defining a new
​AVMEDIA_MANAGER_SERVICE_NAME, right?

Does Windows even use gstreamer?

I switched the FreeBSD port over to 1.0.0.  Both versions of gstreamer
are available, though.

Openoffice and unsupported gstreamer 0.10 branch (for openoffice libavmediagst.so library)

2018-02-18 Thread Torokhov Sergey
Hello, all.

Currently the OpenOffice uses internal "libavmediagst.so" library that compiled 
with GStreamer 0.10 version
that is unsupported since 2012. This library is used for gstreamer support in 
Linux to play multimedia content in presentation
of Impress  component.


Is it planning to migrate for "libavmediagst.so" library to GStreamer 1.0 
branch in new OpenOffice releases?
Especially it's interesting concerns being prepared OpenOffice 4.2.0. Or maybe 
is it possible to
rebuild it with GStreamer 1.0 for 4.1.6 release if it's planning?


Or is it possible to release in addition an official OpenOffice 
"libavmediagst.so" library compiled with GStreamer 1.0
that could be downloaded separately to replace current "libavmediagst.so" 
library

Re: Openoffice and unsupported gstreamer 0.10 branch (for openoffice libavmediagst.so library)

2018-02-25 Thread Peter Kovacs

Hello,

I have hoped that you will get a more positive answer then mine.
I have found no evidence that we have ever worked on an update of 
multimedia Libs in any direction. The only thing I have found is someone 
tried to compile the old 0.1.0 Gstreamer interface on modern systems.
I think it is unlikely we will see an update in 4.2.0, since there is no 
evidence of a volunteer working on it. Of course we would like to have a 
better solution then we have now.


In order to advance step by step I have started to collect Information 
of possible solutions. And prepared to collect more Informations where 
maybe another volunteer could start on.
I have not started any dicusssion, because my limit on driving topics 
has been been reached. If you like you could help collecting the 
informations needed to implement the stuff. If you have programming 
skills you are welcome to try, but I believe it is a challenging Journey.
My current plan is to reduce all the szuff that makes work on Open 
Office step by step in order to get into a better shape that we can work 
on topics. But currently this is all but in infant state. I welcome any

Hello, Peter.

Thank you for reply and for adding additional info into AOO wiki.

Yes I'm posted on that project is short of developers this time.
I hope that current implementation still will hold several years
because gstreamer-0.10 of long process of skiping this brach
in linux distributibes. 

Maybe during this transition period at least the way to  standalone build 
of appropriate multimedia AOO library will be found if it possible at all.

Unfortunately I suppose I have no enough programming skills
to understand how build system works and the difference between gstreamer-0.10 
and 1.0 API/ABI .

Re: Openoffice and unsupported gstreamer 0.10 branch (for openoffice libavmediagst.so library)

2018-02-28 Thread Damjan Jovanovic
Hi

I've begun having a look.

We currently test for gstreamer in configure.ac but don't use the result,
re-running pkg-config in a main/avmedia's makefile.

Changing the version number to 1.0 breaks the build due a missing header
file. Removing that "#include" gets it a little further, but it breaks due
to changed gstreamer API functions. There is also lots of warnings about
deprecated GDK functions. I'll continue trying later.

We should really get rid of gstreamer 0.1 ASAP one way or the other: given
how it's been unmaintained since 2013, it may well have security
vulnerabilities. We can't ship it to users since its license is
incompatible, but having users install it separately still invites trouble.

Damjan

I've successfully patched our gstreamer plugin to build with gstreamer-1.0,
but how do I test it? Does someone have a sample document that uses
gstreamer?

The patch is attached for anyone interested. Parts may still be wrong, eg.
filter names. Changes between GStreamer 0.1 and 1.0 are documented here:
https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/documentation/application-development/appendix/porting-1-0.html

Re: Openoffice and unsupported gstreamer 0.10 branch (for openoffice libavmediagst.so library)

2018-02-28 Thread Torokhov Sergey
Hello,

I created simple presentation file with title and video frame
("Agent 237:operation barbershop" from Blender Animation Studio).

https://yadi.sk/d/shOKuCcS3StDk

The archive contains 327.odp and 327.webm files that must be placed in
the same directory before presentation file .odp is opening.

The video is playing automatically after pressing F5 key (fullscreen
presentation mode). Or after pressing "Play" button on the bar that
usually appears at the bottom then video-frame of presentation is
selected.
I't work for me in current Apache OpenOffice 4.1.5 and
gstreamer-plugins:0.10.

As I use Gentoo I installed "gst-plugins-meta:0.10" with next options:

USE="ffmpeg quicktime http wavpack dv dvb vcd musepack vpx oss libass
lame theora v4l" emerge gst-plugins-meta:0.10

Also I installed "gst-plugins-ivorbis:0.10" and
"gst-plugins-pango:0.10".


Could you also share rebuilded library for testing? Is it compatible
with current AOO 4.1.5 build?

Thank yo in advance.

Cool! I had requested the same feature from OO long time ago. And no

I will test your patch in my next build as I am also excited about

2018-02-28 Thread Damjan Jovanovic
Thank you. The video plays, but in a separate window instead of being
embedded in the document. I'll continue trying.

Distributing the library separately from the rest of AOO would be
difficult. Binary compatibility between Ubuntu and Gentoo, bitness, trunk
vs 4.1.5. New UNO components also have to be registered in AOO somehow; I
only know how to do it with .component files at compile time.

It will likely only end up in SVN trunk, possibly version 4.2.0.

I thought it was obvious the acknowledgement was directed at Damjan.

Notwithstanding, unlike you, prior OO 'chairs' never even acknowledged
-- much less impulsed -- the gstreamer-1.0 request.

That's why I think you are doing great job, Peter.

2018-02-28 Thread Damjan Jovanovic
Unfortunately it looks like the problem is harder than just getting it to
build. Even after fixing some more APIs and getting it to play, a separate
player window is created. To get the player window to embed like it should,
we need to set the X window id on the GstVideoOverlay using
gst_video_overlay_set_window_handle() when a "prepare-window-handle" event
is delivered for which gst_is_video_overlay_prepare_window_handle_message()
returns true. But for some mysterious reason
gst_is_video_overlay_prepare_window_handle_message() never returns true.
Forcefully setting the X window id on all events does get it to embed,
badly, with lots of warnings, and the window gets distorted when scrolling
and doesn't respond to mouse clicks 🙈.

Re: Openoffice and unsupported gstreamer 0.10 branch (for openoffice libavmediagst.so library)

2018-03-01 Thread Damjan Jovanovic
I finally cracked it. The gstreamer pipeline gets created early, during
construction of the avmedia/source/gstreamer's Player object, yet the
window to play in is only created later, when createPlayerWindow() is
called. To use that window and thus embed video into the document, we have
to set that window's handle to the GstVideoOverlay using
gst_video_overlay_set_window_handle(), but by then it's too late. Either
the pipeline creation would have to be deferred until createPlayerWindow(),
when we know the window to use, or we would have to switch windows
with gst_video_overlay_set_window_handle() a live pipeline. I've done the
latter and it works well. I don't know how it ever worked before, maybe in
gstreamer 0.1 the "prepare-window-handle" event is generated during
createPlayerWindow() but in 1.0 it isn't.

My changes have been committed to SVN trunk in revision 1825700.

Torokhov, Jose, Peter: thank you for all your support. Please test and

sorry dont have much time. I added a bug to bugtracker and added roughly 
the situation.


Thanks Damjan, and thanks everyone else.


can someone look at the bugs

Distributing the library separately from the rest of AOO would be
difficult. Binary compatibility between Ubuntu and Gentoo, bitness, trunk
vs 4.1.5. New UNO components also have to be registered in AOO somehow; I
only know how to do it with .component files at compile time.

It will likely only end up in SVN trunk, possibly version 4.2.0.

USE="ffmpeg quicktime http wavpack dv dvb vcd musepack vpx oss libass
lame theora v4l" emerge gst-plugins-meta:0.10

Also I installed "gst-plugins-ivorbis:0.10" and
"gst-plugins-pango:0.10".


Could you also share rebuilded library for testing? Is it compatible
with current AOO 4.1.5 build?

Thank yo in advance.

Hi

I've begun having a look.

We currently test for gstreamer in configure.ac but don't use the
result, re-running pkg-config in a main/avmedia's makefile.

Changing the version number to 1.0 breaks the build due a missing
header file. Removing that "#include" gets it a little further, but
it breaks due to changed gstreamer API functions. There is also
lots of warnings about deprecated GDK functions. I'll continue
trying later.

Thank you. When testing, remember to:
* make sure the "dev" libraries for gstreamer 1.0 and gstreamer-video 1.0
are installed (on Ubuntu, that's libgstreamer1.0-dev and
libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0-dev)
* run "autoconf"
* pass --enable-gstreamer as a flag to "./configure" (it's disabled by
default. Should it be?)

I can send you a ZIP of that directory. It should be complete as I have

​Just a short note on this. Thanks for putting in the effort on applying
the gstreamer update.

The last mention I saw about production environments indicate AOO was going
to CentOS 6.x for the next release. Unfortunately, I can not locate a
bonafide CentOS6.x  repo containing gstreamer 1.0 for use directly as part
of the indigenous build environment. So, it may need to be included in the
external downloaded libraries in /main/external_deps.lst.

Yeah, I'm running into that myself... So +1 for it being handled as
an external download dependency.

That is, of course, assuming that we are still OK with having CentOS as
our "official" production community release environs, which I think
we are.

Just a FYI that until we decide on this, 4.2.0-dev is in a holding 
pattern...

Either we make gstreamer 1.0 an external download dependency,
so we can continue to build on CentOS6, or else we decide that
we switch to Ubuntu as our "official" build platform for our
community releases.

If gstreamer 1.0 was incorporated, how much larger would the compiled code be?

If builds moved to Ubuntu, a long-term support version should be chosen; 
support for LTS version is 5 years.  Ubuntu 18.04 will issue in April; 16.04 
will be supported until 2021.

Just FYI: Ubuntu drinks its source from upstream Debian pool, i.e.,
< https://packages.debian.org/stretch/libgstreamer1.0-dev >

Thus, assuming a 'switch', careful evaluate if a Debian 'meta-framework' --
as some have called it -- might be a better 'official' build platform for
AOO community releases.

Of course, just my *unsolicited* input.

Can we define the problem better?

I assume the gstreamer license hasn't changed. So the licensing issues 
holds the same whether we use 0.10 or 1.x.


On CentOS 5 we used to install it in the system as described here:
https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Building_Guide_AOO/Step_by_step#CentOS_5_for_AOO_4.1.x
(packages gstreamer-devel and gstreamer-plugins-base-devel)

CentOS 6 indeed still ships with 0.10
http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6/os/x86_64/Packages/
and it seems that EPEL (a semi-official extra repository with additional 
packages) does not ship it either.


The reason for using CentOS 6 is "we use a Linux system that is old 
enough for any user system to be the same or more recent"; this is to 
prevent glibc conflicts.


So the real question is: does gstreamer 1.0 (or its dependencies) 
require a glibc version that is higher than 2.12 (as found in CentOS 6), 
or other dependencies that have the same problem? Otherwise we can 
probably look into building it.

CentOS 6 ships with glib (package name: glib2) 2.28 as per

So this is indeed an issue: we would need a distribution that ships with 
glib >= 2.32 (without considering other possible dependencies at the 
moment) to build.


On the other hand, we want something as old as possible since builds 
done with too recent versions of glibc (not to confuse with the above,

Re: Openoffice and unsupported gstreamer 0.10 branch (for openoffice libavmediagst.so library)

2018-03-15 Thread Damjan Jovanovic
I've made a preliminary patch that does run-time dynamic linking to the
GStreamer libraries, only linking to $(GTK_LIBS) at build time. This should
ultimately allow you to build on CentOS 6.

The patch is attached. It's pretty ugly: lots of GStreamer macros expand to
functions and thus had to be inlined and hacked to use our function
pointers. GStreamer clearly wasn't designed for run-time dynamic linking.
It builds but I haven't tested it and won't be able to for a while.

Currently, even though GStreamer libraries are not used during the build,
you still need GStreamer installed, so pkg-config can detect
$(GSTREAMER_CFLAGS) for the header files we need. Our configure.ac thus
needs some patching too. That can be an exercise for the reader ;).

Re: Openoffice and unsupported gstreamer 0.10 branch (for openoffice libavmediagst.so library)

2018-03-19 Thread Jim Jagielski
Does it make sense to have both gstreamer 0.10 and 1.0 as exclusive options.
That is, enabling gstreamer during the build will determine what
version is supported and then use that?

ie, sort of merge how AOO415 and AOO420 currently do things related
to gstreamer?

I think all recent versions (6-7 years?) of linux use gstreamer 1.0.

As near as I can determine, neither CentOS 6 or CentOS 7 provide 
gstreamer 1.0. The pack namings for CentOS7 were different than for 
CentOS 6, but, I think they're both gstreamer 0.10. I couldn't find 
gsteamer 1.0 in any of the accepted "extra" repos for either of these 
either. Maybe someone else can investigate. I, personally, don't plan on 
using a different Linux.

CentOS6 does not, and that is, or has been, our official
community build server.

I have used the very popular Ubuntu based versions almost exclusivley since 
moving to linux  and they certainly (in many more recent years) did not use 
gstreamer 0.10.  My brief trial of Fedora also did not use 0.10.

Centos may be a good distro for building OO, but it is hardly the most widely 
used for daily work, and perhaps too complex for the average unskilled user.

2018-03-20 Thread Damjan Jovanovic
Does nobody understand, that with that run-time dynamic linking patch I
wrote, and some extra work to resurrect gstreamer 0.1 support from SVN, you
could build both gstreamer 0.1 and 1.0 plugins on CentOS 6, and then use
whichever gstreamer version is installed at run-time?
