Attn Packagers: Dependency change from gstreamer-0.10 to gstreamer >= 1.0

[Andrew Eikum]

Hi all,

The next release of Wine will include a commit which changes our
winegstreamer dshow module to use the modern gstreamer 1.0 API instead
of the long-deprecated gstreamer 0.10 API. dshow is used by some games
and applications, including Microsoft Office, to display videos and
play audio. Wine's winegstreamer allows applications that use dshow to
support a wide variety of media through gstreamer.

winegstreamer has been broken for a long time (see Bug 30557), and
many distros disable the DLL when shipping Wine. If your distro
provides 32-bit gstreamer libraries, then you can now re-enable
winegstreamer and expect it to work.

Thanks,
Andrew

Hi Andrew,

when I compile latest git Wine as 32bit on my Fedora 23 (x86_64
arch), I get gstreamer configure error ("checking whether gint64 defined
by gst/gst.h is indeed 64-bit: no"), and gstreamer gets disabled by auto
configuration. I can solve the problem (gstreamer gets configured and
compiled) if I specify gstreamer include dirs manually:
GSTREAMER_CFLAGS='-pthread -I/usr/include/gstreamer-1.0
-I/usr/lib/gstreamer-1.0/include -I/usr/include/glib-2.0
-I/usr/lib/glib-2.0/include'

With automated settings gstreamer includes are set up as following
(please mind lib64 instead of lib):
-pthread -I/usr/include/gstreamer-1.0 -I/usr/lib64/gstreamer-1.0/include
-I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib64/glib-2.0/include

Wine64 gets gstreamer configured and built just fine by default.

Is it some auto configuration bug?

Thanks,
    Paul.

The problem here is glib and gstreamer have different header files for
32- and 64-bit, but pkgconfig doesn't have a mechanism to specify
which you should get. In your setup, it is returning the 64-bit
headers, which are wrong for our 32-bit build.

You need to specify something like
"PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib32/pkgconfig" before running configure. On my
Arch Linux machine:

[aeikum@aeikum ~]$ pkg-config --cflags gstreamer-1.0
-pthread -I/usr/include/gstreamer-1.0 -I/usr/lib/gstreamer-1.0/include -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib/glib-2.0/include

[aeikum@aeikum ~]$ PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib32/pkgconfig  pkg-config --cflags gstreamer-1.0
-pthread -I/usr/include/gstreamer-1.0 -I/usr/lib32/gstreamer-1.0/include -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib32/glib-2.0/include

Thank you for the hint.
Setting PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib/pkgconfig before ./configure works for me.

Great. I can't think of any way we can work around this,
unfortunately. Maybe we should print a suggestion to check their
pkg-config settings or something if that check fails.

Nice, will this be ported back to stable?

It depends if there is an interest from distributions.
Anyway it isn't 1.8.1 material so it would get in earliest in 1.8.2.

probably. I guess Gentoo needs to update. It used to be a fairly up to

Is this a distro problem, then? Anything we should change in Wine?

I'd say so. I'll check for unstable gstreamer packages and see if they fix this next weekend. I don't see anything that you can or should change in Wine to fix this.

I'm late on this but in case it still helps someone,
cfb88194f260b7ada7cc55d216ed2fd8f970cc46 (included in Wine 1.9.2)
fixed it for me.
