      PortSystem 1.0

      Name: gstreamer
      Version: 0.10.25
      Description: A framework for streaming media.
      Long Description: This is GStreamer, a framework for streaming media. The fundamental design comes from the video pipeline at Oregon Graduate Institute, as well as some ideas from DirectMedia. It's based on plug-ins that will provide the various codec and other functionality. The interface hopefully is generic enough for various companies (ahem, Apple) to release binary codecs for Linux, until such time as they get a clue and release the source.

    If you haven't already installed Darwin Ports, you can find easy instructions for doing so at the main Darwin Ports page.

    Once Darwin Ports has been installed, in a terminal window and while online, type the following and hit return:


      %  cd /opt/local/bin/portslocation/dports/gstreamer
      % sudo port install gstreamer
      Password:
    You will then be prompted for your root password, which you should enter. You may have to wait for a few minutes while the software is retrieved from the network and installed for you. Y ou should see something that looks similar to:

      ---> Fetching gstreamer
      ---> Verifying checksum for gstreamer
      ---> Extracting gstreamer
      ---> Configuring gstreamer
      ---> Building gstreamer with target all
      ---> Staging gstreamer into destroot
      ---> Installing gstreamer
    - Make sure that you do not close the terminal window while Darwin Ports is working. Once the software has been installed, you can find further information about using gstreamer with these commands:
      %  man gstreamer
      % apropos gstreamer
      % which gstreamer
      % locate gstreamer
