I'm trying to get gstreamer setup on my machine so that I can develop applications that use the library. I know that gstreamer is installed on my machine, however, I don't seem to have the proper include files and library files where I would expect them to be. This leads me to believe that gstreamer is only installed in such a way that would allow me to run existing applications that use it.

I have downloaded gstreamer 1.9.2 and unpacked it onto my hard drive. I've tried to read though the install document. Attempted to run through the steps, however, I'm still not seeing how I can develop an app against this.

There appears to be some good information about getting started with GStreamer here.

It does appear to suggest that the distribution packages are used for Ubuntu rather than compiling from source. For Ubuntu it looks like you will require the package libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0-dev and this can be installed using:

sudo apt-get install libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0-dev

This should provide the header files and libraries required for you to start developing.

Hope that helps.
