corrosion/gstreamer-osx-bundle

Use relocation tool: https://github.com/tito/osxrelocator

Setup development framework:

Install both gstreamer-1.0-x.x.x-x86_64.pkg and gstreamer-1.0-devel-x.x.x-x86_64.pkg
Move /Library/Frameworks/GStreamer.framework to $(PROJECT_DIR)/GStreamer-devel.framework

cd to $(PROJECT_DIR) and run the following commands

osxrelocator ./GStreamer-devel.framework/Versions/Current /Library/Frameworks/GStreamer.framework/ `pwd`/GStreamer-devel.framework/
install_name_tool -id @executable_path/../Frameworks/GStreamer.framework/GStreamer ./GStreamer-devel.framework/Versions/Current/GStreamer

Prepare the runtime framework:

Install gstreamer-1.0-x.x.x-x86_64.pkg
Move /Library/Frameworks/GStreamer.framework to $(PROJECT_DIR)/GStreamer.framework

Do some clean up of the framework:

rm ./GStreamer.framework/Headers ./GStreamer.framework/Commands
rm ./GStreamer.framework/Versions/Current/Commands
rm -r ./GStreamer.framework/Versions/Current/bin/
rm -r ./GStreamer.framework/Versions/Current/etc/
rm -r ./GStreamer.framework/Versions/Current/share/

Relocate the framework's .dylibs:

osxrelocator -r ./GStreamer.framework/Versions/Current /Library/Frameworks/GStreamer.framework/ @executable_path/../Frameworks/GStreamer.framework/

Since gst-plugin-scanner is executed during gst_init it needs to find the plugins. So create link to "Frameworks" in the libexec directory to resolve @executable_path/../Frameworks/GStreamer.framework/
```
ln -sf ../../../../ GStreamer.framework/Versions/Current/libexec/Frameworks
```

XCode:

Add "$(PROJECT_DIR)/../GStreamer-devel.framework/Headers" to Header Search Paths
Add "GStreamer-devel.framework/GStreamer" file to the Xcode project
In the project's Build Phases settings create new Copy Files Phase and copy the GStreamer.framework to Fameworks

Set GST_PLUGIN_SCANNER and GST_PLUGIN_SYSTEM_PATH environment variables in code before calling gst_init():

// Setup GSTreamer environment
NSString *frameworksPath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] privateFrameworksPath];
NSString *scannerPath = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@/%@", frameworksPath,
                         @"GStreamer.framework/Versions/1.0/libexec/gstreamer-1.0/gst-plugin-scanner"];
NSString *pluginsPath = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@/%@", frameworksPath,
                         @"GStreamer.framework/Versions/1.0/lib"];
setenv("GST_PLUGIN_SCANNER", [scannerPath UTF8String], 1);
setenv("GST_PLUGIN_SYSTEM_PATH", [pluginsPath UTF8String], 1);

// Initialize GStreamer
gst_init(&argc, (char ***) &argv);

To compile this project on another machine run:

osxrelocator ./GStreamer-devel.framework/Versions/Current /Volumes/Drobo/WS/gstreamer-osx-bundle/ `pwd`/
