Hi, In [removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid) “Re: [ruby-gnome2-devel-en] Howto install gstreamer gem on windows” on Fri, 07 Oct 2011 03:16:34 +0200, jake kaiden [removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid) wrote: > thanks really go to kou and ashbb for getting everything together - i > just happened to have the links! > > speaking of which, kou, ashbb - from what i understand, these gems > aren’t quite “done” yet, let us know when they are, and i’ll update the > wiki… I built Ruby/GStreamer for Windows gem just for test because the build way isn’t reasonable… Premise: I’m using Debian GNU/Linux sid. So I need to do all things on Debian GNU/Linux. (1) I download installer from [Google Code Archive - Long-term storage for Google Code Project Hosting.](http://code.google.com/p/ossbuild/). (2) I run the installer by wine. (3) I create \*.pc for files in the installer. (4) I cross-compile against files in the installer. (5) I create \*.gem. (6) I push \*.gem to [rubygems.org](http://rubygems.org). (4)-(6) are easy because we already have automated Rake tasks. They are uses for other Ruby-GNOME2 gems for Windows. (e.g. glib2, gtk2, …) (1)-(3) aren’t easy because we can’t automated them. ((3) has been automated. :p) If we can get GStreamer binaries as zip such as GTK+ binaries distributed on [gtk.org](http://gtk.org), we can be able to atuomate them. ashbb requests it on gstreamer ossbuild forums [http://ossbuild.hoytsoft.org/forums/yaf\_postst41\_Could-you-provide-pkgconfig-files-ie-pc-files.aspx](http://ossbuild.hoytsoft.org/forums/yaf_postst41_Could-you-provide-pkgconfig-files-ie-pc-files.aspx) but it’s not responded yet. ## Thanks, kou
