pocketsphinx gstreamer plugin is not being compiled

[Benjamin Roye]

So I was having the same problem as this fellow here. Unfortunately I do not have the same solution as pkg-config finds gst-plugin-base just fine. I've been reading config.log trying to figure out why the gstreamer plugin was not compiled and I'm just at a loss.

In output of make for pocketsphinx

Making all in gst-plugin
7 make[2]: Nothing to be done for all'. 8 make[2]: Nothing to be done forall-am'

All occurrences of gst in config.log

Provide complete build log and config log, not excerpt from it.

[Benjamin Roye]

build
config

[Nickolay V. Shmyrev]

To collect build log you need to run make clean and then make >& build.log again.

[Benjamin Roye]

oh

[Nickolay V. Shmyrev]

According to the log gstreamer plugin was successfully built and installed. You probalby need to define GST_PLUGIN_PATH to load it.

[Benjamin Roye]

I have GST_PLUGIN_PATH defined as /usr/local/lib/gstreamer-1.0 based on instructions here

[Nickolay V. Shmyrev]

Ok, provide make install log and the output of echo $GST_PLUGIN_PATH && gst-inspect-1.0 | grep pocketsphinx

[Benjamin Roye]

install
$ echo $GST_PLUGIN_PATH && gst-inspect-1.0 | grep pocketsphinx
/usr/local/lib/gstreamer-1.0

[Benjamin Roye]

Oh hey! gst-inspect-1.0 is giving the right output now! That was actually the first time I ran make install... I'm far from an expert at make, but doesn't simply running make usually run make install as part of it?

[Nickolay V. Shmyrev]

You need to run 'sudo make install' to install software usually. Anyway, congratulations.

Hi, on ubuntu 18, where/which directory does this command generate output?

make >& build.log

[Nickolay V. Shmyrev]

In the same fodler where you run make
