Link against libgstreamer and foreign blocks

Help
1

I want to use libgstreamer and I’m struggling really hard.

package main

import "core:fmt"
import "core:os"

 foreign import gstreamer "libgstreamer-1.0.dylib"
//foreign import gstreamer "/Library/Frameworks/GStreamer.framework/Versions/1.0/lib/libgstreamer-1.0.dylib"

@(default_calling_convention="c")
foreign gstreamer {
	// void	gst_init(int *argc, char **argv[]);
	gst_init :: proc(argc: ^int, argv: ^^cstring) ---
}


main :: proc() {
	fmt.println(os.args[0])  // executable name
	fmt.println(os.args[1:]) // the rest of the arguments
	gst_init(nil, nil) // from docs: It's allowed to pass two NULL pointers to gst_init in case you don't want to pass the command line args to GStreamer.
}

odin run . -extra-linker-flags:“-L/Library/Frameworks/GStreamer.framework/Versions/1.0/lib/”

I tried with and without ‘.dylib’, I tried things with system: ... etc.

I didn’t move the gstreamer folder to my odin project folder cause I don’t want 1.6gig of files for every project I need gstreamer for. If it’s not possible to link against ‘/Library/Frameworks/…/something’?

If no other way then I’m ok with moving the framework to my odin folder.
Hope someone can help?

If it’s a framework, why not just system:GStreamer.framework?

I didn’t know it was potentially that easy.
Still struggling tho.

foreign import gstreamer "system:GStreamer.framework" // ld: framework 'GStreamer' not found

foreign import gstreamer "system:GStreamer.framework/Versions/1.0/lib/libgstreamer-1.0.dylib" // no such file or directory: 'GStreamer.framework/Versions/1.0/lib/libgstreamer-1.0.a'

foreign import gstreamer "system:GStreamer.framework/Versions/1.0/lib/libgstreamer-1.0.a" // no such file or directory: 'GStreamer.framework/Versions/1.0/lib/libgstreamer-1.0.a'

I know the last two things is likely not what you want cause it’s to specific and likely to break, but anything that works will make me happy at this point.

As silly as this sounds, but have you tried just copying and pasting the framework next to the binary to see if that even works?
