Looks like I spoke too soon...
That TI stuff is an unholy mess of different libraries, usually binary-only. The patches that Pierre-Luc posted don't work anymore because things have been moved around on the TI website. But the worst thing of all, all packages use a binary installer that has to be executed to self-extract the source code and (binary) libraries.
Fortunately, TI's license allows redistribution in any form. So we are allowed to repackage the extracted source/binary code. That would be my preferred approach: download a .tgz from the buildroot mirror instead of going through the mess of running installer binaries.
Peter, is that an acceptable solution?
Bottom line will be that nothing of Pierre-Luc's original patches will be left. For sure, I will limit my work to DM365 (that's the one I need myself). And finally, my project manager just bumped down the priority of having the gstreamer-ti plugins in our project, so I may never do it after all...
Regards,
Arnout
