gstreamer.freedesktop.org is currently down, which will inevitably lead to build failures like:

This is due to their ongoing migration, and the service should be restored shortly [1].

Edit: gstreamer.freedesktop.org is available again

Anyone wants to adopt the package? Don't have time to maintain it nowadays...

Looks like macports hit and fixed the same issue: https://trac.macports.org/ticket/62524

Their patch didn't apply cleanly for me, but the gist of it is to add the function declaration to every --add-init-section line in the Makefiles. This patch worked for me: https://pastebin.com/LuXmyTBQ

build error https://pastebin.com/9JDFDG2w

Had to install flex. Then, had to install glib2-devel. Then, I got the same errors as NeWolf and marroq. Following nicki419's advice is underway… (thanks!)

@marroq @NeWolf I managed to install by editing the PKGBUILD file such that the make and make install commands have the -i option, to ignore errors. Is that a good idea? Probably not. Did I manage to install gstreamer0.10 and *-base and resolve the dependencies of the app I originally wanted to install? yes.

i have the same issues as NeWolf i need to install glib2-devel but i also get error: implicit declaration of function ‘gst_init’; did you mean ‘g_test_init’? [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]

I get an error when trying to build

This needs glib2-devel as makedep (for the two missing commands glib-mkenums and glib-genmarshal).

Then there's still a compiler error: implicit declaration of gst_init (-Wimplicit-function-declaration) which I'm not experienced enough to fix.

Fails to build in chroot with pkgctl build

/bin/sh: line 1: glib-genmarshal: command not found
/bin/sh: line 2: glib-mkenums: command not found
