<!> A simpler method for cross compiling is described in [[Win32_Cross_Compiling_With_Mingw]].

This document provides instructions for building native win32 gstreamer binaries. Specifically, it describes a method of using the MinGW cross compiler in chroot environment under debian linux<<FootNote(I am running Ubuntu 8.04.1)>>.


<<TableOfContents>>

== Motivation ==
Building native win32 binaries can be acheived from the comfort of your Linux box by using the mingw cross compiler. I've found, however, that some of the autoconf macros will pick-up native Linux headers/libraries installed under /usr/local or /usr. By creating a gstreamer-cross-build chroot environment it is possible to prevent this kind of mix-up and obliterate the need to pass lots of --disable-xxx to the configure script   for  Here are instructions on how to cross-compile gstreamer on a Debian/Linux using the MinGW cross-compiler to create win32 binaries.
== Creating a chroot environment ==
(!) You need to decide either to install mingw 3.4.5 compatible (such as debian ''etch'') or the newer mingw32 4.2.1 (Ubuntu ''hardy'') based system. You may also want to install both. See below.

/!\ The dvdreadsrc plugin compiled with mingw32 4.2.1 did not work for me (TalShalif), while the same compiled with mingw 3.4.5 worked fine (you can even copy the one you compiled on 3.4.5 to 4.2.1 and see either it will work for you too). 
=== Create the Debian system ===
 1. Install debootstrap
 {{{
tanaka@linux> sudo apt-get install debootstrap}}}

 1. Create root file system
  * Ubuntu ''hardy'' (mingw32 4.2.1)
  {{{
tanaka@linux> sudo debootstrap hardy mingw-chroot}}}
  * Debian ''etch'' (mingw32 3.4.5)
  {{{
tanaka@linux> sudo debootstrap etch mingw-chroot}}}
 1. (optional) Add shell chroot ID to avoid confusion
 {{{
root@linux> sudo chroot mingw-chroot
root@linux# echo "gstreamer-mingw" > /etc/debian_chroot
root@linux# exit}}}
=== Install required packages on chroot system ===
{{{
tanaka@linux> sudo chroot mingw-chroot
}}}
 1. Update /etc/apt/source.list
  * Ubuntu ''hardy'':
  {{{
# Binary
deb hardy main restricted universe multiverse
deb hardy-updates main restricted universe multiverse
deb hardy-security main restricted universe multiverse
}}}
  * Debian ''etch'':
  {{{deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian etch main contrib non-free
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian etch-proposed-updates main contrib non-free
}}}
 {{{
(gstreamer-mingw)root@linux# apt-get update    }}}

 1. Install packages
  * Ubuntu ''hardy'':
  {{{
(gstreamer-mingw)root@linux# apt-get install mingw32 dpkg-dev pkg-config wget libglib2.0-dev language-pack-en tzdata unzip libtool automake autoconf m4 gettext cvs flex bison stow wine git-core subversion}}}
  * Debian ''etch'':
  {{{
(gstreamer-mingw)root@linux# apt-get install mingw32 mingw32-binutils dpkg-dev pkg-config wget libglib2.0-dev bzip2 less tzdata unzip libtool automake autoconf m4 gettext cvs flex bison stow wine  git-core subversion locales-all
}}}

<!> After completing the above steps, you may find it simpler to continue your compilation using David Schleef's script, as described in [[Win32_Cross_Compiling_With_Mingw]].

=== Move standard headers, libs, binutils out of the way ===
You don't want any of gstreamer's autoconfig macros to pick-up libraries nor headers installed on the system (i.e. /usr/lib, /usr/include):

 1. Move headers out of the way
 {{{
(gstreamer-mingw)root@linux# mkdir /usr/include/tmp && mv /usr/include/* /usr/include/tmp}}}

 1. Move away link libraries
 {{{
(gstreamer-mingw)root@linux# mkdir /usr/lib/tmp && mv /usr/lib/*.{a,so} /usr/lib/tmp}}}
 Against the standard practice of libxx.so.n, some runtime libraries are named libxx-n.n.so. Put them back:
 {{{
(gstreamer-mingw)root@linux# mv /usr/lib/tmp/*[0-9]*.so /usr/lib
    }}}
 But, but.. except for glib libraries named libgxxx-2.0.so, which need to be moved away again:
 {{{
(gstreamer-mingw)root@linux# mv /usr/lib/libg*-2.0.so /usr/lib/tmp}}}
 1. Replace native binutils executables with links to mingw tools
 {{{
cd /usr/bin
mkdir tmp
mv gcc ar ranlib as ld cc cpp tmp
for i in gcc ar ranlib as ld cc cpp; do \
  ln -s i586-mingw32msvc-$i $i; \
done
ln -s i586-mingw32msvc-dlltool dlltool
ln -s i586-mingw32msvc-dllwrap dllwrap
}}}

=== Setup normal user environment inside chroot ===
Now you would want to be able to access your gstreamer development tree and/or home directory as a normal user from inside the chroot environment:

 1. Mount host home directory
 {{{
tanaka@linux> sudo mount --bind /home mingw-chroot/home    }}}

 1. Add/Synchronize linux host => chroot host user ID Assuming your real user name is 'tanaka' and your uid on the Linux host is 1000:
 {{{
(gstreamer-mingw)root@linux# useradd -d /home/tanaka -s /bin/bash -u 1000 tanaka}}}
 Now you can log into your chroot system as user 'tanaka' thusly:
 {{{
tanaka@linux> sudo chroot mingw-chroot su - tanaka
(gstreamer-mingw)tanaka@linux:~$ id
=> uid=1000(tanaka) gid=1000(tanaka) groups=1000(tanaka)}}}
== Building 3rd party win32 repository ==
=== Initializing stow repository ===
{{{
mkdir -p ~/win32/stow    }}}
Make win32 repo available as /x on both the chroot environment as well as the real host. This will enable mapping ~tanaka/win32 to drive x: on a real windows machine.
{{{
tanaka@linux> sudo ln -s ~/win32 /x
(gstreamer-mingw)root@linux# ln -s ~tanaka/win32 /x
}}}
=== Install precompiled Win32 binaries ===
{{{
tanaka@linux> cd /x/stow
}}}

=== Compile other 3rd party packages ===
{i} It probably won't hurt (?) to add -mthreads to CFLAGS of all compilations. Also, some net functions (e.g. ''getaddrinfo()'') are only available if you set WindowsXP compilation compatibility:

== Building gstreamer ==
{i} If you want gstreamer's net features, you would need to set WindowsXP compilation compatibility. Put:
 {{{
export CFLAGS='-mthreads -D_WIN32_WINNT=0x0501 -DWINVER=0x0501'
}}}
 before running the ''configure'' script under the chroot environment

<!> The chroot environment should really be used only to cross-compile gstreamer. Develop and manage your gstreamer sources under your home directory and chroot into 'gstreamer-mingw' only to run 'configure' and 'make' to build and install. If you have not done so already, on the '''linux host''', get the gstreamer source and generate the configuration script under each component. For example:

 * Get source
 {{{
mkdir -p ~/src/gstreamer-dev
cd ~/src/gstreamer-dev
cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.freedesktop.org:/cvs/gstreamer co gstreamer
cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.freedesktop.org:/cvs/gstreamer co gst-plugins-base

== Plugin specific build problems ==
(!) You can try to disable plugins which break your build with ''--disable-xx'' - run ./configure --help for more details

{i} Some plugins will not be built for reasons such as faulty shared library dependancy detection. You can always go directly to the plugin sub-directory and run ''make'' there to build that particular plugin. You will need to manually copy the result DLL file to /x/stow/gst-plugins-xxx-vvv/lib/gstreamer-0.10 and run ''stow --restow'' on gst-plugins-xxx-vvv. Look at the directdraw/directsound example below - you may or may not need to use the ''forcedll-libtool'' hack.
=== directdraw, directsound ===
libtool refuses to create the plugin DLLs for directdraw and directsound - both under gst-plugins-good. I have managed to force-create those using the following (the following example is for directdraw, but the same methodology applies to directsound):
 1. The following changes to ltmain.sh will force libtool to at least go through the steps of making the DLLs:
 {{{
cd ~/src/gstreamer-dev/gst-plugins-good
sed 's,build_libtool_libs=no,build_libtool_libs=yes,' < libtool > forcedll-libtool
}}}
 1. rebuild directdraw usgin forcedll-libtool
 {{{
cd ~/src/gstreamer-dev/gst-plugins-good/sys/directdraw
make clean
make ERROR_CFLAGS='-Wall -Wdeclaration-after-statement -fno-strict-aliasing'
}}}
 1. re-ran manually the last libtool link phase replacing ../../libtool with ../../forcedll-libtool:
 
 e.g.

 {{{
/bin/bash ../../libtool --tag=CC --mode=link i586-mingw32msvc-gcc  -g -O2   -o libgstdirectdrawsink.la -rpath /x/lib/gstreamer-0.10 -module -avoid-version -export-symbols-regex '^_*gst_plugin_desc$' -no-undefined libgstdirectdrawsink_la-gstdirectdrawsink.lo libgstdirectdrawsink_la-gstdirectdrawplugin.lo -lddraw -ldxguid -lgdi32 -L/x/lib -lgstbase-0.10 -lgstreamer-0.10 -lgobject-2.0 -lgmodule-2.0 -lgthread-2.0 -lxml2 -lglib-2.0 -lintl   -L/x/lib -lgstreamer-0.10 -lgobject-2.0 -lgmodule-2.0 -lgthread-2.0 -lxml2 -lglib-2.0 -lintl   -lgstvideo-0.10 -lgstinterfaces-0.10

 1. Ran manually the final from the above output gcc link command appending the missing library libtool complains it can not find (-ldxguid in directdraw's case):

 e.g. replace:

 1. Copy DLL to plugin directory
 {{{
cp .libs/*.dll /x/stow/gst-plugins-good-${ver}/lib/gstreamer-0.10
cd /x/stow
stow --restow gst-plugins-good-${ver}
}}}
=== dvdread ===
configure disabled this plugin due to libdvdread detection failure. When manually compiling this plugin I had to re-ran manually the last ''libtool --tag=CC --mode=link'' command with ''-dvdread'' appended.

== Testing ==
=== Using wine ===
(!) Do this on your real linux machine.

Install wine and try to run some simple pipelines:
 * Install the wine package
 {{{
sudo apt-get install wine
}}}
 * Run a pipeline
 {{{
cd /x/bin
wine ./gst-launch-0.10.exe fakesrc ! fakesink
wine ./gst-launch-0.10.exe audiotestsrc ! directsoundsink
wine ./gst-launch-0.10.exe videotestsrc ! directdrawsink
}}}
=== On a real MS Windows machine ===
(!) you need to configure samba with user home directory accsess on your linux machine.

Suposing your Linux machine IP address is 10.0.0.1:
 * log onto your windows machine:
   Map \\10.0.0.1\tanaka to drive X:
 * Run a command shell:
 {{{
C:\> X:
X:\bin>gst-launch-0.10.exe --gst-plugin-path=x:/lib/gstreamer-0.10 fakesrc ! fakesink
X:\bin>gst-launch-0.10.exe --gst-plugin-path=x:/lib/gstreamer-0.10 videotestsrc ! directdrawsink
}}}
 Or if you have MSYS:
 {{{
$ cd /x/bin
$ gst-launch-0.10.exe --gst-plugin-path=x:/lib/gstreamer-0.10 fakesrc ! fakesink
}}}

Other pipelines to try:
{{{
x:/bin/gst-launch-0.10.exe --gst-plugin-path=x:/lib/gstreamer-0.10 dvdreadsrc device=e: ! queue ! dvddemux name=demux .current_video ! queue ! mpeg2dec ! ffmpegcolorspace ! directdrawsink demux.current_audio ! queue ! a52dec ! audioconvert ! directsoundsink
