I've gone back again to try to work out upgrading libvpx to 1.5.0. While now, as far as I can tell, everything that depends on it no longer breaks as a result of the update, gst-plugins-good has been giving me serious problems. After building it ~20 times, here's the one patch that I've gotten to actually work. I'm not too happy with how it's done, with passing the --disable-multifile flag. I tried disabling the failing test numerous ways but that keeps on offering up other error messages that either cause the build to fail or the test to fail anyway.
ANYWAY, it turns out gstreamer 1.7.x is an unstable release, and 1.8.x should be coming out "soon". Extremely frusterating to bang my head against this for so long and find out this is why. -- Efraim Flashner <efr...@flashner.co.il> אפרים פלשנר GPG key = A28B F40C 3E55 1372 662D 14F7 41AA E7DC CA3D 8351 Confidentiality cannot be guaranteed on emails sent or received unencrypted
