GStreamer with QT6

[Joe von Habsburg]

@JoeCFD said in GStreamer with QT6:

I think you did not set pkg configure path. If you do not know how to set it, find the pkg files in gstreamer installation and add all the libs inside to your project.

PKG_CONFIG_PATH=C:/gstreamer/1.0/msvc_x86_64/bin/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH

[JoeCFD]

@Joe-von-Habsburg pkg config path is under gstreamer lib dir.
For example in Linux
/opt/thirdParties/gstreamer/lib/pkgconfig
Maybe it is different in Windows
and pkg-config.exe has to be in system path of Windows.

There is only C:/gstreamer/1.0/msvc_x86_64/bin/pkg-config.exe

[JoeCFD]

add C:/gstreamer/1.0/msvc_x86_64/bin to PATH on Windows. This enables you to run pkg-config.exe and use pkg-config. Nice that gstreamer includes it for you.
go to C:/gstreamer/1.0/msvc_x86_64/lib to find dir pkgconfig. Add C:/gstreamer/1.0/msvc_x86_64/lib/pkgconfig to PKG_CONFIG_PATH

Do not forget to add gstreamer plugin path as well in your env. Otherwise, you can not run your gstreamer app.

C:/gstreamer/1.0/msvc_x86_64/bin to PATH on Window

it already exists

@JoeCFD said in GStreamer with QT6:

C:/gstreamer/1.0/msvc_x86_64/lib to find dir pkgconfig

there is no pkg lib

@JoeCFD said in GStreamer with QT6:

C:/gstreamer/1.0/msvc_x86_64/lib/pkgconfig

its not here.

I have only pkg-config exe in C:/gstreamer/1.0/msvc_x86_64/bin/pkg-config.exe

[JoeCFD]

If it does not exist, you are unable to use it. I can check it out later for you in my home Windows.

[Joe von Habsburg]

@JoeCFD thank you so much, I will wait and research new solutions

it can be there. Try to reinstall it in different ways.

[Joe von Habsburg]

I download files with msys :

pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-gstreamer mingw-w64-x86_64-gst-plugins-base \
      mingw-w64-x86_64-gst-plugins-good mingw-w64-x86_64-gst-plugins-bad \
      mingw-w64-x86_64-gst-plugins-ugly mingw-w64-x86_64-gst-libav \
      mingw-w64-x86_64-gst-rtsp-server

and I copy the pkgconfig to lib like that

and gsreamer-1.0.pc and gsteamer-video-1.0.pc exist

cmake like that :

PKG_CONFIG_PATH=C:/gstreamer/1.0/msvc_x86_64/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH
find_package( PkgConfig REQUIRED )
pkg_search_module( GSTREAMER REQUIRED IMPORTED_TARGET gstreamer-1.0)
pkg_search_module( GSTREAMER-VIDEO REQUIRED IMPORTED_TARGET gstreamer-video-1.0)

but its not work

I forgot about it and added it. the code shows it as added. but nothing happened. i keep getting the error. i'm sure the solution is very simple in linux. i wish it could be the same in windows.

hey, the problem is that you need to write it like this:
set(PKG_CONFIG_PATH=C:/gstreamer/1.0/msvc_x86_64/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH)
this way it should work, I had the same problem last week

[Joe von Habsburg]

@anonymus982493

Could not work on me :/

Where do you install gstreamer and where do you install pkgconfig folder in lib ?

open one of the pc files and check if the prefix is correct.

The installed pkg config path is basically fixed under lib. Do not try to change it.
