How to specify GStreamer path for Qt-GStreamer build

Question

I have gstreamer installed on my target system in /opt/gstreamer. When I try to build Qt-Gstreamer on my development host using cross-compiling tool I get:

* GStreamer (0.10.33 or higher)  <http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/>
     Required to build QtGStreamer

How can I specify Gstreamer path for building Qt-GStreamer? I use NFS for my target filesystem so it's on my dev host.

You can use pkg-config:

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=<pathToGStreamerRoot>/lib/pkgconfig

pkg-config supplies the required compilation options so if you use make then it would automatically use the GStreamer at the specified path.

pkg-config --list-all

Is going to list all libraries managed by pkg-config.
