Installation on Windows
Windows users may have bad experience to use Fyne-Streamer. This page explain how to install Gstreamer, configure Windows and compile your first application.
This methid is probably not the best and is, of course, adaptable.
First, go to Gstreamer download page and download both
- runtime installer MingW
- development installer MingW
We didn't tried MSVC versions
You can install them in any order. But both must be installed. We recommend to use typical installation, and to not change the destination folder (C:\gstreamer).
Then in your Windows Settings, add to the system (not the user) "Path" environment the "bin" directory of Gstreamer. For example, if you installed Gstreamer in c:\gstreamer, add this: C:\gstreamer\1.0\mingw_x64\bin.
If you followed Fyne.io documentation, you probably installed the latest version of MingW suite. But, Go-Gst package seems to not compile on Windows with MingW > 11.
At this time, we recommand to use Chocolatey and to install MingW 11 on your system.-
- Follow the Individual installation to install
chococommand if you didn't have it yet - Install MingW 11 in a PowerShell command prompt:
choco install mingw --version=11.2.0.07112021 - Install also PkgConfigLite :
choco install pkgconfiglite
It is strongly recommended to restart Windows now. The system path is not always changed everywhere. Also, if you use Visual Studio Code, close your terminal to force resetting environment variables.
At this time, you should be ready to compile your Fyne application using Fyne-Streamer widgets! Congratulations!
Try to clone this repository and start the videotest example:
git clone https://github.com/metal3d/fyne-streamer
cd fyne-streamer
go run -v ./examples/videotest
It will take a while to compile the first time. A window with a test video should appear.
