I am new to Gstreamer and I have some problems by installing the sdk.
I followed what is wrote here: http://docs.gstreamer.com/display/GstSDK/Installing+on+Windows
And this is what I done:
I installed Visual Studio Community Edition 2015, and I created a new Empty C project. In this way I downloaded and installed Microsoft's C/C++ compiler and linker's stuffs.
I went here http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/pkg/windows/1.6.1/ and I downloaded Gstreamer Runtime and Gstreamer Sdk installers. (gstreamer-1.0-x86_64-1.6.1.msi and gstreamer-1.0-devel-x86_64-1.6.1.msi). I am on a 64bit platform.
After I installed all this, I found the folder C:\gstreamer that contains the Runtime stuffs.. I also have the environment variable GSTREAMER_1_0_ROOT_X86_64 pointing to C:\gstreamer\1.0\x86_64\
By following the linked guide, I would find also the environment variable GSTREAMER_SDK_ROOT_X86_64 and the C:\gstreamer-sdk folder, but I haven't them in my computer. So what am I forgetting?
I am using Windows 7 64 bit with VS 2015.
Thank you for your patience, I searched a lot in the network before without any results.

I couldn't imagine, just how hard it can be for me to start building a sample minifilter driver using vs 2015 and wdk 10!
I've had 2013 running on my pc, then received a swapbuffer sample configured for 8.1. I simply installed WDK 8.1 from Microsoft and that's all. it compiled.
But when I tried to build a minifilter driver using wdk10 everything got hard as hell.
everything is done as this guy said in here and I am on a virtual machine running windows 10.
after installation and that and that and repairing this and that ... when I create an empty fsfilter driver project using vs sample project, build fails with this error:
"An SDK corresponding to WDK version '8.1' was not found. Please install the SDK before building."
This error refers to the file windowsDriver.common.targets in tis line:
<Error Text="An SDK corresponding to WDK version '$(TargetPlatformVersion)' was not found. Please install the SDK before building."
Condition="'$(MatchingSdkPresent)' != 'true'" />
can somebody give me a hint on how to solve this issue?!
thanks.
Windows 10 WDK requires matching SDK version to be installed. Looks like the default for the project you created is falling back to 8.1.
In the project properties, look for Configuration Properties -> General -> "Target Platform version" drop down and select the 10.0.10XXX.0 and try to build it.
If you have installed the latest version of WDK(10.0.105860.0) then make sure the corresponding SDK is installed too. You can check this in the VS installer to see if "Tools (1.2) and Windows 10 SDK (10.0.10586)" under "Universal Windows App Development Tools" is selected.
UPDATE
After much mucking about it turns out that the WDK is not enough; you also need to install the latest Windows 10 SDK which does not by default get installed or updated with Visual Studio. I thought it did, (I've got VS2015, Update 3) but clearly it doesn't. I got the latest version from https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/downloads/windows-10-sdk
, retargeted my project to the latest version (at the time of writing that is 10.0.14393.0), and both the 10 year old sample and the VS wizzard generated projects now work (at least the small sample I've tried.)
I recently installed VS2012 on my home laptop to write some software for fun in my spare time. Here's the order in which the mishap happened:
Accidentally installed VS2012 for Windows 8 Apps. Realized that I actually wanted the Windows Desktop version.
Uninstall the above, install VS2012 for Windows Desktop.
Start writing software, everything is fine and compiles.
See random VS Folder that mentions Windows 8 on my start screen - permanently delete it from computer thinking it was related to #1.
My program no longer compiles, with the following common error:
error LNK1104: cannot open file 'kernel32.lib'
I searched my C-Drive to find the location of this file to try and diagnose the problem, except that it doesn't exist - I can't find it anywhere. I tried a fresh VS2012 install, and that was a bust - the same problem. I also tried to download the VS2012 SDK, but it won't install, insisting the VS2012 isn't installed, and that it's required.
What can I do!?
EDIT: I've tried to repair the install twice as well.
You need to (re-)install the Windows SDK. That includes everything you need to develop Windows apps, including the lib files for linking to system DLLs. You'll find the Windows 8 version for download here.
I have no idea why re-installing Visual Studio didn't work for you. It should include the Windows SDK, but maybe you're installing the wrong version. Not sure if Express versions include it, for example.
Note that the Windows SDK is not the same thing as the Visual Studio SDK. The SDK part means "Software Development Kit", so they're similar. But one is for developing software for Windows, while the other is for developing software for Visual Studio (like add-ins and extensions and whatnot). The Visual Studio SDK is not going to include lib files for system DLLs, though, so that's why it didn't work. And naturally it requires Visual Studio to be installed first.
After multiple re-installs, repairs, and SDK reinstalls, the only thing that worked was a full system restore.
I have recently acquired source code from a VS2005 project that uses the MFC library. Firstly I upgraded the project to VS2012 and I can now successfully build and run the software on Windows 8. Next, I wanted to deploy the software on a Windows XP machine.
I have set the Platform Toolset to build to Windows XP (using the v110_xp option) and I have installed the 'Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2012 Update 1' on the target machine. When I run the software, nothing appears to happen. Via some logging functions I can determine that a call to LoadFrame(IDR_MAINFRAME) causes an exception in kernel32.dll. I can't debug any further in to LoadFrame as remote debugging on Windows XP is not available in VS2012.
Any ideas what may be going wrong? Is the Visual C++ Redistributable package the correct version to be installing on the target machine? What should I be trying next?
UPDATE
My project is already set up to use the 7.1 SDK and has minimum required version set to 5.01 in linker options.
If I use InstallShield to generate an installer and include the MFC, CRT and ATL redistributables, the installer works and my program now runs on Windows XP. My understanding of the redistributables is that they simply copy the relevant dll's in to the system32 folder (or equivalent)? Is that correct?
However, if I simply copy the files over, run the vsredist_x86.exe or use Inno Setup to install the software & dll's, my program no longer works.
I believe you have read this blog. In summary, you need to use the 7.1 SDK, and you need to set minimum required version to 5.01 in linker options.
Using the working InstallShield project and the not-working Inno project I was able to determine that the real culprit here was an unregistered msxml4.dll. The error I was receiving gave no real clue to this outcome but I got there eventually...
regsvr32 msxml4.dll
I have a Windows7 x64 machine (german). I had VS2008Prof, VS2010Prof and VS11 DP installed. I work mainly with VS2010. I was experimenting with the latest Qt version and tried to get html5 video running with QtWebKit. I installed some codecs and then also the Windows SDK 7.1.
Suddenly the VS2010 debugger began to behave strange: it showed local (stack) variables correctly, but heap variables (including the this pointer) showed wrong values when stepping through some method. And I am sure that this was not the fault of my code.
I then tried to revert my changes and ended up uninstalling the Win SDK 7.1, the VS11 DP and VS2010, the latter several times with the standard uninstall and with VS2010_Uninstall-RTM.ENU.exe. After each uninstall I tried to reinstall VS2010: It reported a successfull install (including C++) but in the Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\include folder there are only the three files ammintrin.h, srv.h and wmiatlprov.h. The lib folder only contains the amd64 and ia64 folders and no C++ or msvc100* libraries.
Any ideas or suggestions?
(I also posted this on social.msdn.microsoft.com)
I resolved this issue by re-installing the complete system. Perhaps VS2010_Uninstall-RTM.ENU.exe /full /netfx may have helped, but I overlooked the /full switch.
So I have this small application of mine I'm trying to deploy using visual studio. I have Intel parallel studio 2011 added to visual studio, and I'm compiling this program using Intel within VS because I'm using OpenMP task construct which is not supported in VS2010. I added a deployment project to my solution and built a setup. Dependencies are detected as follows:
glu32.dll opengl32.dll and libiomp5md.dll
Now I'm trying to test this setup file to see if it works. I have Windows XP Mode installed and I access the setup file, I setup my application, decencies are copied just fine but:
When I try to run the application first time I got an error saying:
The entry point _ftol2 could not be loacted in the dynamic link library msvcrt.dll
I found solution to this problem by removing glu32.dll and opengl32.dll and adding glut32.dll to my windows/system folder.
But then it comes up with this second error saying:
The application or dll ".....\libiomp5md.dll" is not a valid windows image. please check this against your installation diskette
again I googled and I got this and it didn't work.
Reminder: I'm using Win7 x64 and Visual Studio 2010 with Intel Parallel Studio 2011.
I guess you need to install the redistributable libraries on the target machine.
