Most of Linux distributions provide packages of GStreamer. You should find these in your distribution's package repository. If not, download the latest source and build it, it should be straight fwd.

2. What is the configure script for installing phonon on qtx11-4.5.2?

Just configure and build Qt with phonon support, it will find out the beckend for gstreamer automatically.

Thanks..

so fedora 9 already contains gstreamer support right?

./configure -phonon

Is this correct?

Yes , Go ahead. Better refer INSTALL, README. For all possible config options, so only one time configuration is required.

[balajir]

When i configure using

./configure -phonon

it configured for few minutes and showing some report.. I dunno what to do.. Kindly check it and help me..

It is showing..

Phonon support cannot be enabled due to functionality tests!
Turn on verbose messaging (-v) to ./configure to see the final report.
If you believe this message is in error you may use the continue
switch (-continue) to ./configure to continue.

Try installing packages gstreamer-devel and gstreamer-plugins-base-devel or similar.

Use the package manager of your distribution?

[balajir]

I dont understand..

I am using fedora 9....

I am new to linux.. Today only i started working on it.

Also i can get the devel of gstreamer and plugins in that site..

Kindly help me if possible..

Thanks in advance,

Then perhaps you should learn the basics of your distribution before you try to start programming there?

I don't use Fedora myself but I'd guess it's more or less something like this:

sudo yum install gstreamer-devel gstreamer-plugins-base-devel

sudo yum install gstreamer-devel gstreamer-plugins-base-devel

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

or use the graphical front end. I'm not even 100% sure about the package names, use the tools of your distribution to search for them.
