gst-fsl-plugin fail to build in jethro

[Ivan Sergio Borgonovo]

Hi,

I've been able to build working images for an imx28evk based board with 
fido.
I'm trying to do the same with jethro.

release-notes/source/known-issues.rst
says
1. Fail to build imx-lib/imx-vpu/imx-test/gst-fsl-plugin when building
against linux-fslc

and that exactly what happens:

ERROR: Nothing RPROVIDES 'gst-fsl-plugin' (but 
/opt/yocto/jethro/sources/poky/meta/recipes-core/images/core-image-minimal.bb 
RDEPENDS on or otherwise requires it)

I didn't know gst-fsl-plugin till I downloaded the source to see.
While I don't plan to use those features I'd feel more comfort to switch 
to jethro knowing I could relay on them.

Is there a chance it is planned to be fixed?
If not, can somebody give me a short introduction to the problem to get 
an idea if I can contribute and fix it?

thanks

gst-fsl-plugin is not supposed to work on mx28. And this package is
deprecated as gst0.1 was completely replaced by gst1.0

In imx28 (no VPU) you can use gstreamer mailine.

That's sound good, but I didn't get how am I going to fix it.
I was copying from here
http://wiki.wandboard.org/Building_Qt5_using_yocto_on_Wandboard
and I'm just guessing I've to remove some more gstreamer stuff from the 
list.

Could you give me some more guidance and a bit more detailed explanation 
in the hope to make me smarter?

that's fine.

thanks

gst-fsl-plugin is the package released by Freescale to add VPU support
and some audio decoder/encoders, and licensed stuff. It is deprecated
and is not supposed to work for imx28.

I mean, just remove this line and face the next error. You don't need
to think about this package ;-)

I like your optimism.

I had to get rid of
packagegroup-fsl-gstreamer
too

Not really freescale related but maybe someone may appreciate:

I noticed something else changed.
While fido was previously building with

DISTRO_FEATURES_remove = " ... pulseaudio "
and
IMAGE_INSTALL_append = "... pulseaudio "
probably by mistake
Now jethro complains
ERROR: Nothing RPROVIDES 'alsa-plugins-pulseaudio-conf'...

I assume somewhere some QA logic has been added.

I also had to comment

#PACKAGECONFIG_append_pn-qemu-native = " sdl"
#PACKAGECONFIG_append_pn-nativesdk-qemu = " sdl"
#ASSUME_PROVIDED += "libsdl-native"

I'll see if I can fix this later.

Now I've core-image-minimal building successfully

Thanks
