Fixed libgstffmpeg.la

That's a bug in our side. To fix it, edit the file $ANDROID_SDK_ROOT/lib/gstreamer-0.10/static/libgstffmpeg.la and append "-lz" at the end the variable "dependency_libs".

Hi, I already noticed zlib was missing and did that same thing on that same file, however it was no good.
Could it be related to the following code I found in "includes/zconf.h" for the source code?

#  ifndef Z_SOLO
#    define compress              z_compress
#    define compress2             z_compress2
#    define compressBound         z_compressBound
#  endif

I bet that Z_SOLO must be defined yet compress, compress2 and compressBound don't.

I still need to add -lz to libgstffmpeg.la when I use cerbero. This does not seem to be fixed.

It's fixed, the one provided here. It's just that it's not in any release yet.

I am sorry, I it's not pushed yet :) Thanks for the reminder

    gst-ffmpeg-static: fix static link using the libtool libs
    
    Fixes #59250

Hi, I tried to check this but when I ran "cerbero package gstreamer-sdk" I am getting the following error, could it be related to this bug resolution?

Can you paste the complete output of "buildone gst-ffmpeg-static" and afterwards "package gstreamer-sdk" again?

After you update cerbero (via git pull --rebase), everything should work when first building gst-ffmpeg-static again and then calling package gstreamer-sdk again (as explained in last comment).

I just fixed a build error in gst-ffmpeg-static that caused your last problem.

That fixed it. 
Thanks.

the la does not fix my problem.  followed link here: http://gstreamer-devel.966125.n4.nabble.com/Several-problems-in-Gstreamer-Android-tt4658132.html#a4658806 and it works for me.
