List of changes since 2.0.10

 o Depend on GStreamer 2.0

 o Fix build issues

[Fernando de Oliveira]

This package came very strange.

First, in NEWS (see above in "description"), we read "o Depend on GStreamer 2.0".

Now, it fails to build via ssh (actually ssh -X), but not locally, either with X running or not (log further below).

Is it worth including a sentence about that in the book?

As I've pointed out several times now, OpenGL doesn't work over ssh and will never do so. So don't bother to build anything which tries to run any GL code (and this package seems to be doing just that) over ssh. As for the gstreamer 2.0, that's a typo. Git commit actually makes it depend on gstreamer-1.2.0, not 2.0.

Replying to fo:

Is it worth including a sentence about that in the book?

That is strange. I can understand needing X for a test, but not for a simple build. It's even stranger, given that it won't build over ssh, that it will build without X running.

Yes, please include a note that it does not build over ssh.

I can build previous version 2.0.10 over ssh, only appears a warning:

  GEN      ClutterGst-2.0.gir

(lt-ClutterGst-2.0:14683): Clutter-CRITICAL **: Unable to initialize Clutter: \
Unable to open display 'localhost:10.0'
  GEN      ClutterGst-2.0.typelib

On the other hand, I missed the "note" in BLFS' page:

"This packages must be built from an Xterm. It will fail over an ssh sesion."

And modified it to:

"This package fails to build over an ssh session."

Thanks Bruce and Armin.

Fixed at r13197.
