Re: GStreamer 1.22 on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS

Please try the following. The script is a subset of a larger script that included some merges so not all of the packages will be necessary as some of them are for ffmpeg. You will also see the same package a couple of times. Ubuntu will ignore that. I am running Python 3.8.10 for library compatibility.

pip3 install tomli

sudo cp ~/.local/bin/meson /usr/local/bin

cd ./gstreamer/
mkdir builddir
meson setup builddir -Dgpl=enabled -Drs=enabled
#meson setup --wipe builddir -Dgpl=enabled -Drs=enabled
ninja -C builddir
python3 ./gst-env.py 
gst-launch-1.0 --gst-version

You might need to disable some of the gst-plugins-bad. If you run into build issues, send me you output and I’ll assist.

Should you need to rerun the build, you will run the following:

meson setup --wipe builddir -Dgpl=enabled -Drs=enabled
