Re: Help building Gstreamer 1.10

["Sebastian Geiger (Lanoxx)" <lanoxx gmx net>]

Hi Sam,

thanks for the quick answer, unfortunately make uninstall did not
resolve the issue. When I searched for files with gstreamer in their
name or path I still found a lot of files. In the end I removed several
header files and so files related to gstreamer and that solved the issue.

Could this be related to the autotools build setup? Is there a way to
fix it?

Cheers

Sebastian
