HOWTO

# gstreamer (and friends)
# =========
# gstreamer is not compatible with the 0.8.x series, but both can be
# installed at the same time.

# If you want to uninstall anything covered below, or just remove files from
# an old version before installing a new one, cd into the source directory,
# run 'make uninstall' (as root), remove the source directory, then remove
# the tarball.

# If you have gst-player installed, which works with gstreamer 0.8.x, and
# are going to upgrade to gstreamer 0.10.x, cd into it's source and
# 'make uninstall' it.  It is no longer covered here - if a 0.10.x version
# is released, I'll add it again.

# Create directories for source and tarballs
mkdir -p -m 0700 ~/installed/gstreamer ~/src/gstreamer

# gstreamer 0.10.2
# ================
# Slackware 9.0's 'gstreamer' package includes 0.6.0, 9.1's includes 0.6.3
# and a patched version in 'patches', 10.0's includes 0.8.3, and 10.1's
# includes 0.8.7  As of Slackware 10.2, Gnome is no longer included (neither
# is gstreamer).
