nobody has any idea how to compile the gstreamer libs or use the existing ones?

When I use the MSVC version of gstreamer I get:

[ilink64 Error] Fatal: Invalid object file '/0'

Here's the whole project:

Unit1 source:

      /* If the stream is live, we do not care about buffering. */
      if (data->is_live) break;

      gst_message_parse_buffering (msg, &percent);
      g_print ("Buffering (%3d%%)\r", percent);

when I use the mingw version of gstreamer I see

[ilink64 Error] Fatal: Invalid object file 'asnprintf.c.obj'

The 64 bit compiler.

I tried and get errors when linking the .a

Thanks
