Re: Building and Installing the latest versions of gstreamer in Ubuntu 22.04LTS

Thanks James.

Could i ask which “Wiki” you are referring to ?

Is it this: https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/documentation/installing/building-from-source-using-meson.html?gi-language=c
or the info in the Github repo ?
or some other WIKI ?

I am trying to build the latest version which appears to be 1.23 or 1.24

Thanks !!
