Build issue - user error?

[scalers-ai]

0. building on Mac M1Max
1. Newbie (<3 days old) Rust user
2. Trying to build the gst-plugin-rs project
3. Installed gstreamer "official" packages - devel + non-level
4. gstreamer works fine (e.g. gst-launch-1.0 videotestsrc ! autovideosink)
5. "cargo build" fails with this errors. I am probably missing a step or two - any pointers would be helpful 🙏

The error is hidden in the command there :) "non_existent_on_purpose/please_use_framework_pkg-config/or_pass_--define-prefix_to_your_pkg-config"

You're using an incompatible version of pkg-config it seems. Which one are you using?

[scalers-ai]

I am using the Homebrew version - I guess it can't find the "official" gstreamer build

1. pkg-config version: /opt/homebrew/bin/pkg-config
2. Gstreamer version /Library/Frameworks/GStreamer.framework/

[sdroege]

Try using the one from the GStreamer binaries. Also please ask such support questions on the GStreamer mailing list please :)

For anyone facing a similar issue, here's the specific steps to implement the simple fix suggested (thanks @sdroege!)

i.e. to use the pkg-config with the official gstreamer build.

1a) export PATH=/Library/Frameworks/GStreamer.framework/Commands:${PATH} 2a) cargo build
