has anyone used the gstreamer libraries with c++ builder?

[DanW 0]

I tried and get errors when linking the .a

 

Thanks

Out of interest, which C++ compiler are you using (classic (32), clang32 or clang64) ?

[DanW 0]

The 64 bit compiler.

It is useful to post the actual errors for others to be able to think about the cause.

when I use the mingw version of gstreamer I see

Here's the whole project:

When I use the MSVC version of gstreamer I get:

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

 

[DanW 0]

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

[Rolf Fankhauser 1]

Did you try to generate import libraries with mkexp?
