Can't compile on ubuntu 22.04

[cosismo]

Hi, I can't compile this project in Ubuntu 22.04. (I am a noob building in C, so sorry if this is not a project-specific issue, but I search for answers on other sites and cannot find a more general building-related solution.)

./autogen.sh aclocal: error: couldn't open directory 'common/m4': No such file or directory

mkdir common/m4 ./autogen.sh configure.ac:48: error: required file 'common/Makefile.in' not found configure.ac:48: error: required file 'common/m4/Makefile.in' not found

Thanks for the report, I'll try to move this to meson next week so it's less of a hassle to build.

[ford-prefect]

This is fixed now.

(moved the build system to meson which should be easier to work with in general)

Thank you very much. I can compile it now. I really appreciate your work.

As a reference for fellow noobs:

tested on a fresh Ubuntu 22.04 installation

install required dependencies

sudo apt install git python3-pip build-essential ninja-build libglib2.0-dev libjson-glib-dev libjson-glib-1.0-0 -y

preferred installation of meson (Ubuntu 22.04 package doesn't satisfy the required version of meson)

pip3 install --user meson

install gstreamer. Reference: https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/documentation/installing/on-linux.html?gi-language=c

sudo apt install libgstreamer1.0-dev libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0-dev libgstreamer-plugins-bad1.0-dev gstreamer1.0-plugins-base gstreamer1.0-plugins-good gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly gstreamer1.0-libav gstreamer1.0-tools gstreamer1.0-x gstreamer1.0-alsa gstreamer1.0-gl gstreamer1.0-gtk3 gstreamer1.0-qt5 gstreamer1.0-pulseaudio -y

get the code

git clone https://github.com/ford-prefect/gst-sync-server.git

build

cd gst-sync-server meson setup build cd build ninja
