Gstreamer - can't build plugin

[Sean DeNigris]

From config.log:

configure:13214: checking for GStreamer
configure:13224: $PKG_CONFIG --exists --print-errors "gstreamer-$GST_MAJORMINOR >= 1.0
gstreamer-base-$GST_MAJORMINOR >= 1.0
gstreamer-plugins-base-$GST_MAJORMINOR >= 1.0"
Package gstreamer-1.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing gstreamer-1.0.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable No package 'gstreamer-1.0' found Package gstreamer-base-1.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containinggstreamer-base-1.0.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'gstreamer-base-1.0' found
Package gstreamer-plugins-base-1.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gstreamer-plugins-base-1.0.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'gstreamer-plugins-base-1.0' found

What makes this bizzare is that the offending line works perfectly from a terminal:

pkg-config --exists --print-errors "gstreamer-1.0"

I should also mention that I tried to use the full path to pkg-config listed earlier in config.log as a sanity check, namely:

/usr/local/opt/pkg-config/bin/pkg-config

Also, I did a debug run of pkg-config to see where it was finding gstreamer:

pkg-config --debug --libs gstreamer-1.0

I then added the appropriate directory via:

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/

And reinstalled pocketsphinx via:

brew uninstall cmu-pocketsphinx
brew uninstall cmu-sphinxbase
brew install --HEAD watsonbox/cmu-sphinx/cmu-sphinxbase
brew install --HEAD watsonbox/cmu-sphinx/cmu-pocketsphinx

But the config.log still reported not finding gstreamer :/

Notes:
- OS X 10.13.2
- Installed pocketsphinx 5prealpha via homebrew per https://github.com/watsonbox/homebrew-cmu-sphinx

It is missing gstreamer-base and gstreamer-plugins-base probably, not gstreamer.

[Sean DeNigris]

Thanks for the reply! I checked all three .pc files via --debug and they all exist :/

[Sean DeNigris]

Workaround: I just made a fresh clone from GH and copied the built plugin under /usr/local

[Cindy Chang]

I'd like to ask where to find the config.log file, thanks!

[Nickolay V. Shmyrev]

In pocketsphinx source folder when you build from sources with ./configure && make && make install. Configure command creates it.

[Cindy Chang]

Thank you for the fast reply! However, since I was using this tutorial(here), I don't know when nor where to execute the make install command(and related commands).

[Cindy Chang]

I am using macOS. The command I used for installing was

brew install cmu-pocketsphinx

[Nickolay V. Shmyrev]

In top source folder. You can probably watch some howtos on building linux software from source, it is well covered.
