Hi Zentara

I got the same hit. But I don't know that I'm really up to doing a build yet. I've posted this question on the GStreamer mailing list and the wxPerl Mailing list, but no response yet. I'm just not sure that a lot of people use wxMediaCtrl on Linux. Instead I found a peice of code which runs GStreamer directly:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w --

  use strict;
  use warnings;

  use GStreamer -init;

  my $loop = Glib::MainLoop -> new();

  # set up
  my file = "/tmp/foo.avi";
  my $play = GStreamer::ElementFactory -> make("playbin", "play");
  $play -> set(uri => Glib::filename_to_uri $file, "localhost");
  $play -> get_bus() -> add_watch(\&my_bus_callback, $loop);
  $play -> set_state("playing");

  # run
  $loop -> run();

  # clean up
  $play -> set_state("null");

  sub my_bus_callback {
    my ($bus, $message, $loop) = @_;

    if ($message -> type & "error") {
      warn $message -> error;
      $loop -> quit();
    }

    elsif ($message -> type & "eos") {
      $loop -> quit();
    }

    # remove message from the queue
    return 1;
  }

I thought maybe I could use something like this in the Linux code. Not very Cross Platform, I know. But I don't know how to embed it in wxPerl. Anyhow both options would give me a working system.

Update Ah, I've just realised what you mean. Use the compiler to find out which package is missing! Good idea, I'll do that.

Thanks

Steve
