Enable Gstreamer in Qt5 configuration
-
Where did you install them ?

I install them on target rootfs.
-
Then how can the configure script find the libraries ?
One way to do that is to copy the libraries and headers from your target rootfs in your toolchain directories

Hello, I know this thread is quite old but I'm running into the same issues. I mounted the target's rootfs in a local folder and I set the sysroot parameter to that path.
In that folder there is the complete arm filesystem with these packages installed:
@
libgstreamer0.10-dev
libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-dev
gstreamer-tools
gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad
gstreamer0.10-plugins-good
gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly
libglib2.0-dev
libglib2.0-0
libqtglib-2.0-0
@Here the configure command:
@
./configure -opengl es2 -device linux-rasp-pi-g++ -device-option CROSS_COMPILE=~/dev/rpi/gcc-4.7-linaro-rpi-gnueabihf/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf- -sysroot /mnt/rasp-pi-rootfs -opensource -confirm-license -optimized-qmake -reduce-relocations -reduce-exports -release -developer-build -make libs -prefix /usr/local/qt5pi -no-pch -nomake examples -nomake tests -silent
@Anyway both GLib and GStreamer supports are disabled. Here the related errors:
@
Glib auto-detection... ()

@But the /mnt/rasp-pi-rootfs/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/librt.so.1 is there, actually.
Any ideas?

Dear Mark,
Please check the link to librt.so.1
Maybe it's broken -

I cross compile Qt 5.2 for imx6 from source and ./configure just dont try find gstreamer from rootfs. I look at ./configure inside and dont find anything about gstreamer. What can I do?

Have you solved this problem?
I'm working on it too. -

I did not try to cross-compile neither Qt nor GStreamer. So this is just my guess.
On Linux Qt configure tries to find gstreamer using pkg-config utility.
pkg-config uses $PKG_CONFIG_PATH to look for all available packages.
The packages are the text files with simple structure and .pc extension.Try to find gstreamer*.pc files in your cross-compiled gstreamer and if you find the files then append a path to these files to PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable and then run configure from Qt.

Is there meanwhile a solution on how to configure Qt5.3 to use gstreamer? I have the same Problem on the Raspberry Pi.
I'm using this tutorial: http://qt-project.org/wiki/Native_Build_of_Qt5_on_a_Raspberry_Pi
I ignored the change of "QT_CFLAGS_GSTREAMER=" in the configure script, because it is not there. Additionally I set the following environment variables before running configure to get "pkg-config ............. yes":
@PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR="/usr/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/pkgconfig:/usr/share/pkgconfig"
PKG_CONFIG_SYSROOT_DIR="/."
PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/usr/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/pkgconfig:/usr/share/pkgconfig"@I read a little bit in the configure script code and at the part where the "Configure summary" is generated I found nothing where it is possible to add additional Packages (for example found by pkg-config) so is it even possible that the configure script finds gstreamer or is it even searching?

Hi and welcome to devnet,
Did you install the gstreamer development packages ?

yes I have installed all packages which are listed on the "wiki page":http://qt-project.org/wiki/Native_Build_of_Qt5_on_a_Raspberry_Pi (first code section line 3). For gstreamer this are the following:
@libgstreamer0.10-dev
libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-dev
gstreamer-tools
gstreamer0.10-plugins-good
gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad@gstreamer itselfs works:
@gst-launch-0.10 videotestsrc ! video/x-raw-rgb, framerate=25/1, width=640, height=360 ! ffmpegcolorspace ! fbdevsink@ -
Did you do that on your Raspberry Pi ?

yes, all direct on the pi, not cross compiling
-
Do you have your Pi root filesystem accessible on your desktop computer ?

yes i just had to put the Raspi SD Card in the Computer and mount it
-
What parameters did you pass to configure ?

I copied it from the wiki page: "http://qt-project.org/wiki/Native_Build_of_Qt5_on_a_Raspberry_Pi":http://qt-project.org/wiki/Native_Build_of_Qt5_on_a_Raspberry_Pi

Ok… I missed it the first time… you are following the instructions to build Qt ON the raspberry pi but you are trying to cross-compile it from your desktop…
"This":https://qt-project.org/wiki/RaspberryPi_Beginners_guide guid shows how to cross-compile it

No, I'm building Qt direct on the Raspberry, like on the wiki page.
Sorry if I understand your question wrong when you asked if I had the filesystem accessible on my desktop computer. At the moment I dont have it on my desktop pc, I wanted to say that I could easily access it if needed for the solution by just insert the Raspberry Pi SD Card to my desktop computer. (Did you mean if I had an image of the filesystem on my desktop computer for cross compiling? => No)
If your thinking of the CROSS_COMPILE option by calling configure: This is sayed on the wiki page:
bq. In order to properly run configure for Qt5 on the Raspberry Pi, you need to point the CROSS_COMPILE variable to the native compiler located at /usr/bin/g++. The CROSS_COMPILE parameter is the path to the compiler (without the g++). If you do not do this properly it will complain that it is not being cross compiled.

My bad, I was thinking about the SYSROOT parameter that was missing. But in your case it's unrelated.
