    <title>Installation of GStreamer Base Plug-ins</title>

    <note><para>If you need a plugin for a given dependency, that dependency
      needs to be installed before this application.
    </para></note>

    <para>
      First, if you are using i686 and gcc-4.9.0, fix a compile problem:
    </para>

<screen role="nodump"><userinput>patch -Np1 -i ../gst-plugins-base-&gst10-plugins-base-version;-gcc_4_9_0_i686-1.patch</userinput></screen>

    <para>
      Install <application>GStreamer Base Plug-ins</application> by running the
      following commands:
    </para>

<screen><userinput>./configure --prefix=/usr \
            --with-package-name="GStreamer Base Plugins &gst10-plugins-base-version; BLFS" \
            --with-package-origin="http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/" &amp;&amp;
make</userinput></screen>

    <para>
      To test the results, issue: <command>make check</command>.
    </para>

    <note>
      <para>
        When installing, the Makefile does some additional 
        linking.  If you do not have Xorg in /usr, the LIBRARY_PATH
        variable needs to be defined for the root user.  If 
        using sudo to assume root, use the -E option to pass 
        your current environment variables for the install process.
      </para>
