autogen.sh does not detect installed Gstreamer

[ricardomenzer]

I'm trying to install from git in Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS. commit 09ba05865dacd2824b5b40ab75a4b9545fcc1366 (HEAD -> master, tag: v0.8.1, origin/master, origin/HEAD)

I'm following the Getting Started guide. When running the command: ./autogen.sh --prefix /usr/ --libdir /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/

It outputs:

checking for GST... no
configure: No package 'gstreamer-1.0' found
configure: error: no gstreamer-1.0 >= 1.7.1 (GStreamer) found
  configure failed

Gstreamer is installed and is above 1.7.1:

$ gst-launch-1.0 --version
gst-launch-1.0 version 1.20.3
GStreamer 1.20.3
https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/gstreamer1.0

Is GStreamer installed in a non-standard location? Can you run the following and share the output:

pkg-config --modversion gstreamer-1.0

gst-inspect-1.0 identity

Also, can you share the config.log file that autotools generate?

It's a long time since I installed Gstreamer in this machine, so I don't remember exactly. I think I installed it via the Ubuntu package manager, but I can't be 100% sure. If it helps:

$ ls -l `which gst-launch-1.0`
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 39248 jun 30  2022 /usr/bin/gst-launch-1.0

$ pkg-config --modversion gstreamer-1.0
Package gstreamer-1.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gstreamer-1.0.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'gstreamer-1.0' found
