Bug ID: 41180
           Summary: gst/gst.h throws a configure warning: WARNING:
                    gst/gst.h: present but cannot be compiled
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.9.17
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown

I am trying to get set up to do a regression test and I am following the Wine
Wiki on regression testing here: https://wiki.winehq.org/Regression_Testing

So I have a folder with the latest git version of Wine and I ran this command
as the wiki recommends first to seed ccache:

CC="ccache gcc" ./configure --verbose --disable-tests

(Please note that I have a 64-bit only application that suddenly stopped
working hence the reason I am not using the -m32 flag in this command)

After I enter the command and ./configure starts running I get the error below
that requests that I report it to WineHQ:

configure: WARNING: gst/gst.h: present but cannot be compiled
configure: WARNING: gst/gst.h:     check for missing prerequisite headers?
configure: WARNING: gst/gst.h: see the Autoconf documentation
configure: WARNING: gst/gst.h:     section "Present But Cannot Be Compiled"
configure: WARNING: gst/gst.h: proceeding with the compiler's result
configure: WARNING:     ## ------------------------------------ ##
configure: WARNING:     ## Report this to [e-mail] ##
configure: WARNING:     ## ------------------------------------ ##

Reporting as requested.

Please let me know what info you need from me in order to get this solved.

Ah and my gcc version is 6.1.1 20160802.

Apologies for the misinfo but this error actually showed up when I was trying
to build a 32-bit version of Wine, not 64-bit.

On the 64-bit side, I did not receive this error.

On Fedora 25, I came across this same message when trying to build 32-bit Wine
after building 64-bit by following the wiki[1]. The page mentions specifying
PKG_CONFIG_PATH to enable gstreamer support, but doing that wasn't enough.

With some hints[2] and testing, I fixed this issue by downloading
glib2-devel.i686, and using this command:

PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib/pkgconfig /my/build/path/configure
--with-wine64=/my/build64/path

Hopefully this helps with your problem.
