Is there some reason that the gstreamer good plugins set needs a whole load of GNOME crap?
http://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/gstreamer0.10-good-plugins/
I've recently switched to XFCE and I'd like to avoid GNOME dependencies. Is it possible to recompile from abs without all these dependencies?
thanks,

This is of course possible, the gstreamer ./configure script allows to disable most of the dependency-heavy features. ./configure --help list all possibilities. This for example is the configuration i use: ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var \ --disable-static --enable-experimental \ --disable-schemas-install \ --disable-gconf \ --disable-hal \ --disable-dv1394 \ --disable-pulse \ --disable-esd \ --disable-esdtest \ --disable-sunaudio \ --disable-osx_audio \ --disable-osx_video \ --disable-flac \ --disable-gst_v4l2 \ --with-package-name="GStreamer Good Plugins (Archlinux)" \ --with-package-origin="http://www.archlinux.org/" || return 1
