I've spent the better part of 2 weeks trying to build the latest version of gstreamer for a DM355. I needed some features in the latest gstreamer that wasn't present in the TI gstreamer port. Also I had trouble building the TI gstreamer port to begin with.
Here are the command options I used. Note that all I needed as the following plugins: app, coreelements, isomp4, wavenv, and waveparse, so my command line options are very restrictive:
Get the glib-2.22.2 source
Build
the glib source:
./configure

CC=/opt/montavista/pro/devkit/arm/v5t_le/bin/arm_v5t_le-gcc
Configure
and build gstreamer-0.10.35
export

the “ don’t paste well, copy this and paste it into notepad, then copy and
paste it into a terminal

Then you can modify the helloworld app to use this subset for testing. Another way to test is to run gst-inspect to verify the plugins are present. You will need to define the GST_PLUGIN_PATH to the location to the gstreamer plug-ins. Also, the tool, gst-plugin-scanner, needs to be at the harded code defined by PREFIX. I can't figure out a way to redirect this. So I had to create a path on my target called:
/home/user/produce1/dependencies/libexec/gstreamer-0.10
and put the gst-plugin-scanner in this directory. According to the docs, you should be able to override this with GST_PLUGIN_SCANNER environment variable, but that doesn't appear to work. If you know a way to build this and redefine the location of this loader, let me know.
Hopefully this helps other people out.
