Adding non-LGPL support #5

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
We should create a new solution called GStreamer-GPL with a configuration
called Release_GPL (to output the binaries to a diferent folder that the
release one and avoid mixing both of them) to build the plugins that
depends on GPL libraries.

We should also build ffmpeg with GPL support and call the libraries
libavcodec-GPL.lib, for example. This way we can have two ffmpeg versions,
the LGPL one and the GPL one. 

We also need to build xvidcore, liba52, liblame, libmad, libmpeg2, dvdnav
and dvdread. 

We need to add the fluendo plugins and the remaining plugins in ugly.

What do you think?

Sounds fine as long as we're explicit about what's GPL. I'd get the LGPL 
version 
down pat before we add the GPL libs, though.

We'll also want to create several installer (MSI), tarballs, etc. that 
represent 
binary-only (dlls), dev-only (libs, dlls, and headers), full dev (includes all 
plugin libs), and equivalents for linux, mac, etc. Then do it again for GPL.

The LGPL version should be ready once I finish to integrate the farsight2's nice
transmitter and the Python Bindings.
I'll start with the Windows installers as soon as I finish with the python 
bindings.
Do you think it's useful to work on the Linux packages? The problem with 
GStreamer is
not on the Linux side, as all the GNU/Linux distributions provide packages for
GStreamer and it's quite easy to compile GStreamer from the sources on Linux.
I think we should focus on Windows and Mac, where GStreamer is really lacking a 
build
system.

I prefer to keep the linux stuff because it's useful for me. I have systems 
where I 
have to install gstreamer and know (for security purposes) which versions of 
which 
libraries I'm using. These systems are also not connected to the Internet and 
don't 
have local mirrors to receive updated libs.

I think this has been resolved satisfactorily.
