git clone -b 1.24 https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer.git

sudo apt install flex bison

sudo apt-get install libxv-dev libasound2-dev libtheora-dev libogg-dev libvorbis-dev libbz2-dev libv4l-dev libvpx-dev libjack-jackd2-dev libsoup2.4-dev libpulse-dev faad libfaad-dev libfaac-dev libx264-dev libmad0-dev yasm

sudo apt install python3-pip

pip3 install meson==1.3.1 --break-system-packages

# 配置
meson setup builddir
# 推荐！！！！配置安装指定路径
mkdir _install
meson setup --prefix=/home/hywelstar/Develop/gstreamer/_install builddir

# 编译
meson compile -C builddir

# ===============以下可选择==============
# 更换安装目录方法：
# 首次配置的话采用
meson setup --prefix=/home/hywelstar/Develop/gstreamer/_install builddir
# 中途更改安装到指定路径
meson setup  builddir --reconfigure  --prefix=/home/hywelstar/Develop/gstreamer/_install
# =====================================

meson compile -C builddir

meson install -C builddir

./gst-env.py

## 本工程使用这个
./gst-env.py --builddir builddir

## 或者这个代替
ninja devenv

$ gst-inspect-1.0 --version
