Linux configure fails on GStreamer

[Robin Friedrich]

ON Red Hat Linux

Using the new build-wxpython.py --install and it stubs its toe on
GStreamer. GST is installed btw some I'm curious why it doesn't find
it, but never mind I wanted to get the build done.
Tried:
./configure --prefix=$INSTALLDIR --disable-mediactrl --enable-rpath=
$LD_RUN_PATH
in hopes configure would would not demand GStreamer, no joy.
So what I need is a way to tell the auto builder to not use GST.
__ideas__?

You can either change the options passed to configure in the
build-wxwidgets.py script (which is called by build-wxpython.py) located
in {WXROOT}/build/tools/, or if you run configure manually in the build
folder that the build scripts use, then you can pass --no_config to
build-wxpython.py to prevent it from trying to run configure again

IIRC there is an additional dependency that GStreamer has that is not
reported, but that can cause the configure check to fail.  I think it
was gconf-devel or something like that.

Thanks Robin,
The build-wxwidgets.py modification technique worked like a champ!
It might be nice to have the master build script pass through config
options somehow.
(I couldn't quite understand which directory to configure manually
to try the --no-config technique.)

I get the same problem on CentOS5.

Taking the "--enable-mediactrl" option out allows me to compile.

I don't see a gconf-dev package for CentOS5 to try the other solution

For searches, this will install everything you need to compile wxPython-src-2.9.3.1 on Ubuntu 11.10 or Mint 12:

sudo apt-get install libgl1-mesa-glx libglu1-mesa libgl1-mesa-dev libglu1-mesa-dev libgstreamer0.10-dev libgconf2-dev libsdl1.2-dev zlib1g-dev libjpeg62-dev libtiff4-dev python-gst0.10-dev
