[solved] Recompile QTmultimedia with GStreamer plugin

[borsti]

Hi there,

I just started QT programming for the Raspberry Pi, compiled Qt 5.3 as described in this guide: "RPI Beginners Guide":https://qt-project.org/wiki/RaspberryPi_Beginners_guide

I compiled QTMultimedia like the tutorial said:
@paulo@westeros:~/opt/qt5$ cd qtmultimedia
paulo@westeros:~/opt/qt5/qtimageformats$ /usr/local/qt5pi/bin/qmake .
paulo@westeros:~/opt/qt5/qtimageformats$ make -j4
paulo@westeros:~/opt/qt5/qtimageformats$ sudo make install@

The process ended without (visible) errors but when I run the application on the Raspberry I got the "defaultServiceProvider::requestService(): no service found for - "org.qt-project.qt.mediaplayer" - Error. Turns out that the gstreamer plugin is missing in the "plugins" folder.

As i reviewed the config.log I saw the following lines:
@executing config test gstreamer

• cd /home/borsti/opt/qt5/qtmultimedia/config.tests/gstreamer && /usr/local/qt5pi/bin/qmake "CONFIG -= qt debug_and_release app_bundle lib_bundle" /home/borsti/opt/qt5/qtmultimed$
  Project ERROR: gstreamer-0.10 development package not found
  test gstreamer FAILED@

This was correct, the package indeed was not installed. I now installed the missing package and recompiled QTMultimedia, but the gstreamer-plugin is not there, and the config tests did not seem to be executed again (edit time of the config.log did not change).

How can i rerun the config tests? "make clean" did not solve the issue.

Thank you in advance!

Greetings
Sebastian

Ok, turns out that this is not what I wanted after all. I am going to install QT5 natively on Raspberry as described in "this tutorial":http://qt-project.org/wiki/Native_Build_of_Qt5_on_a_Raspberry_Pi
