Reading time:
Note: In September 2021, the GStreamer project merged all its git repositories into a single, unified repository, often called monorepo. The build system referred in this post as "gst-build" is now in the root of this combined/mono repository.
GStreamer relies on multiple repositories such as base and good to build its ecosystem, and now owns more than 30 projects in Gitlab. So, a unified tool/build system has always been necessary to build a specified version.
For over a decade, a script named gst-uninstalled was present in the gstreamer/scripts directory to build the whole solution. Although this tool was not very flexible and was missing some options in the command line, it was good enough if you wanted to tackle a surprising bug in our favorite framework. But it was not as good at providing a real swiss-army knife approach to build GStreamer and its dependencies.
Another build system called cerbero, created a few years ago, provides a standalone solution to build GStreamer packages. This solution offers a wide range of options in addition to a proper sandbox to avoid system dependencies and to be able to prepare packages that include third party software dependencies for a given version. Cerbero is written in Python and can create builds for the host machine like gst-uninstalled but also for various common targets depending on the host. Indeed a Linux regular desktop host will be capable to cross-build GStreamer for x86(32/64bits) but also for architecture such ARM and system such as Microsoft Windows. It can also create builds for Android and iOS.
Despite a shell environment allowing artifacts testing, Cerbero is not really convenient for a day to day development related to GStreamer as a new plugin development or a bug fix as it is not easy to update to the last revision without loosing a current work, or to test another branch of GStreamer
In order to improve this situation, gst-build was born. Taking advantage of the flexibility of the rising Meson build system, gst-build has been implemented to replace gst-uninstalled and provide a quick and smooth environment to hack into GStreamer and its dependencies.
Since GStreamer 1.18, Meson has been chosen as the only build system for the official GStreamer repositories. For its simplicity, speed and flexibility, Meson replaced Autotools, so it is also perfect to use with gst-build. Indeed gst-build is just a Meson project including GStreamer sub-projects with options to enable/disable selected sub-projects.
gst-build is mainly a meson.build project. It reads .wrap files which are located in the subprojects folder to determine the elements of the project such as gstreamer or gst-plugins-base. These subprojects use the meson build system as well. gst-build comes with the essential projects you need to start using GStreamer and build it almost without system dependencies. gst-build bundles libffi or glib in the subprojects directory. It can also gather dependencies using pkg-config from the system to build the GStreamer plugins such as flac, for example, which needs libflac to build.
So let's take a look on how to work with gst-build!
As we have to choose a specific development environment, a 64 bit machine has been selected:
Here are the essential dependencies you need to install before running meson and ninja.
$ sudo apt install build-essential python3 git ninja-build python3-pip
You can now install meson from the pip repository
$ pip3 install --user meson
This will install meson into ~/.local/bin which may or may not be included automatically in your PATH by default.
This step will download the GStreamer repositories including some dependencies such as glib etc. into the subprojects folder. Basically it tries to download as many mesonified third party libraries as possible, and breaking news the cmake ones, as a bridge has been implemented recently if necessary.
$ git clone https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-build $ cd gst-build $ meson build --buildtype=debug
...
All GStreamer modules 1.17.0.1
Subprojects
FFmpeg: YES

libnice: YES
libpsl: YES
libsoup: NO
openh264: YES
orc: YES
pygobject: NO
sqlite: YES
tinyalsa: NO
x264: YES
Option buildtype is: debug [default: debugoptimized]
Found ninja-1.8.2 at /usr/bin/ninja
After this step, a newly created folder named build should be ready to be used by ninja to build the binaries.
As you may notice, --buildtype=debug has been added to the command line to get a fully debugable result without optimization. I invite you to visit this page if you want to fine-tune the build.
This step will build all GStreamer libraries in addition to the plugins from base/good/bad/ugly/libav if their dependencies have been met or built by gst-build (ie glib, openh264 etc.).
$ ninja -C build
This command will create an environment where all tools and plugins built previously are available in the environment as a superset of the system environment with the right environment variables set.
$ ninja -C build devenv
A prefix to your prompt should be shown as
[gst-master] bash-prompt $
[gst-master] bash-prompt $ env | grep GST_
From this environment you are now ready to use the power of GStreamer, and even implement new features in it without the fear of using out of date version.
From this shell, you are also able to compile without exiting the environment except when a configure step is necessary. This feature is very convenient to test a branch or fix a bug. Go to the subprojects folder and modify the code directly and then call ninja -C ../../build.
[gst-master] bash-prompt $ gst-inspect-1.0
In this tutorial, I will explain how to add a log line in videotestsrc element, gst-plugins-base's plugin, rebuild using gst-build and test that the new log is now displayed.
vim subprojects/gst-plugins-base/gst/videotestsrc/gstvideotestsrc.c
Go to the method gst_video_test_src_start and add the line:
GST_ERROR_OBJECT (src, ""Starting to debug videotestsrc, is there an error ?");
This will add a runtime log with the ERROR level. For more information about debugging facilities in GStreamer, visit the following page.
Then close the editor.
$ ninja -C build
You should see that only the file gstvideotestsrc.c rebuilt.
In order to enable the logs, you have to export the environment variable GST_DEBUG.
Let's start the playback and display the result in the terminal. The following command will display all the log from videotestsrc with the category ERROR(1).
GST_DEBUG=videotestsrc:1 gst-launch-1.0 videotestsrc num-buffers=1 ! fakevideosink
You should have this output:
Setting pipeline to PAUSED ... 0:00:00.225273663 21743 0x565528ab7100 ERROR videotestsrc gstvideotestsrc.c:1216:gst_video_test_src_start: Starting to debug videotestsrc, is there an error ? Pipeline is PREROLLING ... Pipeline is PREROLLED ... Setting pipeline to PLAYING ... New clock: GstSystemClock Got EOS from element "pipeline0". Execution ended after 0:00:00.033464391 Setting pipeline to PAUSED ... Setting pipeline to READY ... Setting pipeline to NULL ... Freeing pipeline ..
This command will update all the repositories and will reissue a build.
$ ninja -C build_dir update
Better to be outside of devenv env. If you want to add a new repository and work in this environment. Very simple and handy way, you'll have to:
$ cd subprojects $ git clone my_subproject $ cd ../build $ rm -rf * && meson .. -Dcustom_subprojects=my_subproject
And then you can go in your subproject, edit, change, remove even stare at his beauty.
$ ninja -C ../../build $ ninja -C ../../build devenv
Voilà, you're done! Stay tuned for my next blog post, where we'll look at how to use gst-build to cross-compile GStreamer to run it on embedded platforms.

Could you provide step by step blog entry for compiling GStreamer using Visual Studio and Gst-build. I did follow all available tutorials online and could not get a workable GStreamer build which would work for Visual Studio 2019. I managed to get a wine 64 bit build using WSL and Ubuntu 18.04 - however static libraries produced (*.dll.a) were not suitable for writing Visual Studio C++ apps, as I got persistent linking errors (different C++ naming decoration).
I know that there are available builds of GStreamer 1.16.2 for Windows Visual Studio, but there is no code base or CI log files on the internet which could provide information what needs to be installed on a Windows 10 Visual Studio 2020 machine.
If you were to provide such article could you make it as verbose as possible with exact log files from builds and possibly ZIP files from the build?
Kind Regards
Leslaw

I know about this entry. But after following it I stumbled upon many errors, which I could not overcome. First one was that glib subproject did not compile because of lack of libffi present. It would be really helpful if you provided even over the top algorithm how to compile with all the output data, such as which version of gst-build you used, which version of Meson build system was used plus all the output from compilation process. This would allow comparison and see what I do differently to you guys, which would allow me to successfully accomplish the build on Windows using Visual Studio 2019 Enterprise edition.

This is tested on every merge request to GStreamer as part of our CI. So this should be work fine in the git master as well as 1.16 branch. libffi should be pulled in as a dependency. And it should work with any recent version of meson.
If you need assistance, I advise you to ask on the gstreamer-devel mailing list https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/gstreamer-devel

Hey,
does this also install the python bindings as it should? Can it conflict with the system-wide installed one?
We followed the tutorial (thanks for that), it worked well, but by copying the libgstnvarguscamerasrc.so and libgstnvvideo4linux2.so we got bad linking to older gstreamer version.
Any hints?

In theory, you should be able to get the python bindings by configuring the meson build with "-Dpython=enabled".
The plugins from NVidia are proprietary.. and I have no idea what they do exactly. But maybe if you post the missing symbols to the mailing list we can be able to give you a hint..

I think it should be apt-get ninja-build on Ubuntu systems, not ninja.

I have downloaded https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/src/gstreamer/gstreamer-1.17.90.tar.xz but it only has som ~270 modules vs ~5,000 of the complete package downloaded by git clone https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-build.
I need to use nvidia's nvenc and nvdec which are included since version 1.17.1. How do I download version prior to 1.19.1 (which does not compile) to get it all ?

Following our discussion on https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-build/-/issues/142, I suggests you to clone gst-build from the discussion's website and request a build with:
# meson -C build -Dlibav=disabled && ninja -C build
To avoid using ffmpeg from your system, we use the meson flag -Dlibav=disabled seen that you just want want to test GStreamer nvcodec element.
The nvcodec should be built from gst-plugins-bad and can be tested with:
# ninja -C build devenv
# gst-inspect-1.0 nvcodec
Regards.

That's the wrong ninja, the binary may be called ninja-build on older distributions.

You need to run "ninja -C " which is the same directory you passed to meson (if you used "meson build", then "ninja -C build).

Thanks to your kind and detailed explanation, but I've got some errors in ninja.
In raspberry pi, I've already installed gst 1.16 with autogen.sh(1.14 is the latest in raspberry repository). But an error occurred, so I needed to install latest version.
After meson, I got such result :
```

Should I uninstall gstreamer1.16 first? Could you help me if you know why this error occurs?

Hello,
According to my understanding, the opencv plugin fails to build correctly. If you dont need this plugin, you can either remove the dev package (apt remove libopencv-dev) to avoid gst-build to pickup the dependency or directly disable the opencv plugin by:
$ meson build --reconfigure -Dgst-plugins-bad:opencv=disabled
$ ninja -C build
Otherwise you'll have to understand why the plugin fails to build with your RPI version of opencv.
Regards.

Hello, thanks to kind reply. But I have to build python file with opencv and this file uses gstreamer pipeline in cv2.VideoCapture(). So in my opinion, I have to build with opencv plugins. Result of $ opencv_version : 4.5.2-dev, and I think opencv's version can be a cause... I really don't know why that "libgstopencv.so" makes trouble. TT
Regards.

Hello,
I gave it a try on ubuntu 20.04 with opencv4 4.2 and so far the plugin has been built successfully.
Could you pastebin your build/meson-logs/meson-log.txt somewhere as we could check what's goin on ?
Additionally you can pastebin your ninja error too.
Regards.

Here's meson-log.txt's opencv part : https://pastebin.com/iQusrKpB
I don't know what's the problem... Really thanks for your help.

According to the meson logs, the configure picks up opencv 3.4.4 but you mention a 4.5.2-dev version.
From the failing build log I saw that opencv libs was taken from "/usr/local/" so I assume you are not using the version from your distrib. Maybe you are mixing versions causing gst-build to fail.

I heartily thank you. I've rebuilded opencv with 4.5.2-dev, and it worked!!! So I did : rebuilding opencv -> building gstreamer -> rebuilding opencv. Now it works very well! Thank you veeeery much!!

Hi,
We are looking to build gstreamer from source for android,
We are trying to make few changes in gstahcsrc.c(gstahcsrc elemt), which is part of gst-bad plugin.
We have followed below link
https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/documentation/installing/building-from-source-using-cerbero.html?gi-language=c#
When we are building, its taking default bad plugin from git instead of our change done locally.
Could you help us in making our change in bad plugin and incorporate same android universal or how to integrate/compile custom bad plugin to android .
Thanks and Regards
Rajesh Chanda

Dear Rajesh,
Indeed cerbero is not really convenient when you are making some changes into the source build directory. That's why you reach the right place, trying to build GStreamer with gst-build. You just need to follow this blog post to build the GStreamer framework with its base/good/bad plugins set.
When you succeeded to configure with meson and build with Ninja the whole solution (see "Fetch and Configure section"). You can go into a devenv and then modify the code you'd like to improve and rebuild it as described in "Let's add a log line in gst-plugins-base".
As you can see a clone of gst-plugins-bad is available in gst-build/subprojects/gst-plugins-bad/ where you can create your MR.
Moreover since last week, a new approach can be experimented as now GStreamer "main" branch owns all the GStreamer framework (meson build system, plugins and applications) (see https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/documentation/frequently-asked-questions/mono-repository.html?gi-language=c). This is very similar to gst-build but in one and single repository where you can create the merge request with your change.

Hi Stephane,
Thank you for reply.
Seems above procedure works if its for linux target.
Does it work for android also?, Because android needs Android Universal which is single packed gstreamer.
As we need Android Universal to work with android target, we are suppose to compile android universal with our bad plugin changes.
Could you suggest in this direction for android.
Thanks and Regards

Dear Rajesh,
I'm sorry, I missed the Android part in your comment and indeed the cross android build is only supported by cerbero by now.
FYI a work has been initiated on gst-build side but not ready to merge.
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/-/merge_requests/617
Regarding cerbero, one option would be to complete an android build and then clone an instance of gst-plugins-bad in another folder.
Then you can enter the cerbero shell with:
$ ./cerbero-uninstalled -c config/cross-android-universal.cbc shell
and go to your new gst-plugins-bad clone instance.
$ cd /home/dev/DEV/gst-plugins-bad
From here you can get the configure line for your target in "cerbero/build/logs/android_arm64/gst-plugins-bad-configure.log" in running command "/path_to/meson ....". if your target android device uses an arm64.
You can run this command in your /home/dev/DEV/gst-plugins-bad in the cerbero shell. Then ninja -C build && ninja -C build install
Then you can exit the shell and run;
/cerbero-uninstalled -c config/cross-android-universal.cbc package gstreamer-1.0
This is far from optimal but a typical way to develop with cerbero.
Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Hi Stephane,
Thank you again for helping.
I have followed below steps but getting build error during meson running command.
Step.1:
rajesh@rajesh:~/myubuntuwork/gstreamer-related/cerbero$ ./cerbero-uninstalled -c config/cross-android-universal.cbc shell
Step.2: cloned gst-plugins-bad plugin into other folder.
Step.3: Entered into gst-plugins-bad folder
[cerbero-android-universal] rajesh@rajesh:~/myubuntuwork/gstreamer-related/cerbero$ cd mygstbadplugin/gst-plugins-bad/
Step.4: Checked the gst-plugins-bad-1.0-configure.log for running command.
[cerbero-android-universal] rajesh@rajesh:~/myubuntuwork/gstreamer-related/cerbero/mygstbadplugin/gst-plugins-bad$ vi ../../build/logs/android_arm64/gst-plugins-bad-1.0-configure.log

Dear Rajesh,
The tool is available on my side:
$ cd /myworkdir/cerbero_master
./cerbero-uninstalled -c config/cross-android-universal.cbc shell
$ which aarch64-linux-android-ar
/myworkdir/cerbero_master/build/android-ndk-21/toolchains/llvm/prebuilt/linux-x86_64/bin/aarch64-linux-android-ar
I am sorry to hear you are having other issues with cerbero. But as its not related to gst-build, I would recommend you to
continue sharing feedback directly on the GStreamer mailing list or on Gitlab for issues where others can help as well.
Otherwise, you can also get in touch with us to look at setting up a proper support contract between your company and Collabora.
Best regards.
Stéphane

Dear Rajesh,
As 'android_universal' is a meta cerbero config which builds all the android target(x86,arm64), I would recommend you to perform the build and your test with 'config/cross-android-arm64.cbc' instead if you are targeting ARM64 Android for example.
Regards.
Stephane

Hello Niyaz,
This error rings a bell to me but it would help to add more context to your question. You can share the meson logs and your setup (OS, version etc.) here to see if I can understand your issue.
Other question, are you building the latest Gstreamer version as gst-build is now deprecated and has been replaced by GStreamer mono repository.

Hi,
sysprof build shoud be disabled since https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/-/merge_requests/1114/diffs
Could you confirm that you are building gstreamer and not gst-build ? Do you plan to build the last revision of GStreamer ?
Otherwise you can also pass to the configure -Dlibsoup:sysprof=disabled
Best regards.

I was building gst-build, following this article.
I will be using cerbero now (for mono repository) , following the link you provided
Thank you

Dear Niyaz,
You dont need to use cerbero, you can use directly the gstreamer repository to build the monorepo.
git clone https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer.git
meson builddir
ninja -C builddir
All the core libraries and the plugins should be built according to your system dependencies.
Regards

Thanks for the great tutorial!
I have successfully build Gstreamer for my project, and it works as intended in the devenv environment.
How do I install this build properly on my system for production (eg., outside of the virtual envirnment)?
Many thanks!
Alex

Hi,
To install a Meson project you can run `meson install -C ` and it will copy all files into your configured prefix (`/usr/local` by default). If you want to install files into a different location, you can add `--destdir root` and it will copy files into `/root`. You can then copy that tree on your devices.

hi
first of all thanks a lot for your information
but i have a little issue
i cant use gstreamer in normal env im able to use it in dev_env (gst-discontinued-for-monorepo)
but when i wanna use gst-inspect-1.0 or gst-launch it dosent work because it cant find command in /usr/bin
how can i use it in normal env ??

To use it in a normal env, you have to build it with the "--prefix=/usr" argument to meson, then once it's compiled, you install it with something like "ninja -C builddir install" and it's going to install all the files in your system. The default installation path is /usr/local. That said, the separate gst-build repo is deprecated, if you use a more recent version of GStreamer, it's built into the main GStreamer repo, and I strongly recommend you use GStreamer 1.24 instead of basing new work on old versions.
