Learn how to optimize GStreamer dependencies using Meson in this 31-minute tutorial presented by Xavier Claessens from Collabora. Explore techniques to compile C/C++ projects, build shared and static libraries, and cross-compile for target devices. Discover how to leverage subprojects and WrapDB for efficient dependency management. Master the art of building only necessary features, installing runtime files, and stripping binaries. Dive into advanced topics such as static GStreamer builds, GVariant ABI removal, and replacing GLib unicode support to create a leaner, more efficient GStreamer implementation.
