Now I use CMake and I think it's great! I recommend you take a look at it.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00641325466061545347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6358325469969848101.post-30131180855989958642011-02-08T14:15:56.026-08:002011-02-08T14:15:56.026-08:00Well, with this context information (isolation of ...Well, with this context information (isolation of gstreamer pipelines), I can know see a use case where having these parameters actually matter. I wanted to keep the element interface simple, and delegate complexity to SVG, but anyway, most people will want to have these parameters (x/y/width/height, with -absolute and -relative variants for each).<br />I will add them next week or so.Olivierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05587071703004153127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6358325469969848101.post-65225780991526742232011-02-08T12:26:34.151-08:002011-02-08T12:26:34.151-08:00You might interested in the generic cairo overlay ...You might interested in the generic cairo overlay element I did for gstreamer: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=595520<br />(currently pending review)<br /><br />Interestingly enough I actually picked up that task and did the patch due to a blogpost of yours where you talked about the rsvg element, because that element showed how simple it could be done.Jon Nordbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13110736331863326476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6358325469969848101.post-62781944552436863842011-02-08T09:52:38.871-08:002011-02-08T09:52:38.871-08:00Laura, you might be able to get the URI of the SVG...Laura, you might be able to get the URI of the SVG by sending a uri-query.Stefan Sauerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07581829597044799690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6358325469969848101.post-69415366806974470462011-02-08T02:35:32.343-08:002011-02-08T02:35:32.343-08:00I know they say that autotools are something that ...I know they say that autotools are something that people hate only if they don't understand them... well I hate autotools, and I don't understand them, but I think I do have good reasons - so many silly problems I've had to debug while cross compiling various open source packages for an embedded system on heterogenous workstations.... such incredibly silly problems, like "check if file exists not valid for cross compiling" and abort. Thanks! and the libtool automake autoconf version incompatibilities. and the one where libtool would somehow emit subtly flawed command lines until I did "export echo=echo" - no joke, I could go on and on...p-Lohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06429707943515087359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6358325469969848101.post-19453669801174489642011-02-08T02:26:48.476-08:002011-02-08T02:26:48.476-08:00Agreed on the autotools part.

It was just freaking impossible to get a grip on what I was actually doing.<br /><br />At one point, though, I decided I needed to learn them properly (I was involved in a project that uses them a lot). After a good deal of googling I found this: <br /><br />http://www.freesoftwaremagazine.com/books/agaal/brief_introduction_to_gnu_autotools<br /><br />It's longish (longer than it needs to be, I think), but that document took me from loathing autotools to becoming a fan. That's the first source I've seen that makes you understand what is actually happening, and why. <br /><br />The author, by the way, apparently has a book out now based on this text.
