Hello Gaurav,

Thank you for reaching out with your issue. It sounds like you’re encountering some build errors due to missing GStreamer libraries in your Docker environment. Let’s address this step-by-step to help you resolve the issue.

  1. Modify the Dockerfile:

    • Ensure that your Dockerfile includes the installation of GStreamer and its plugins. You can add the following lines to your Dockerfile to install the necessary GStreamer packages:
      RUN apt-get update && \
    apt-get install -y \
    gstreamer1.0-tools \
    gstreamer1.0-plugins-base \
    gstreamer1.0-plugins-good \
    gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad \
    gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly \
    gstreamer1.0-libav \
    libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0-dev \
    libgstreamer1.0-dev
    • This ensures that the GStreamer development files and plugins are available during the build process.

  2. Set the PKG_CONFIG_PATH:

    • Make sure the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable is set correctly in your Dockerfile to include the path where GStreamer .pc files are located. You can add this line to your Dockerfile:
      ENV PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig

  3. Verify the Makefile:

    • Ensure that your Makefile is configured to use pkg-config to find GStreamer libraries. You might need to add pkg-config flags in your Makefile:
      CXXFLAGS += $(shell pkg-config --cflags gstreamer-1.0 gstreamer-app-1.0 gstreamer-video-1.0)
LDFLAGS += $(shell pkg-config --libs gstreamer-1.0 gstreamer-app-1.0 gstreamer-video-1.0)

By ensuring these packages are installed and correctly referenced in your Dockerfile and Makefile, you should be able to resolve the build errors related to missing GStreamer libraries. If you continue to experience issues, double-check the package names and paths specific to your setup.

I hope this helps! If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.
