Install from cargo fails

[sarmong]

I'm trying to install hunter from cargo with cargo install hunter and get the following error.

MacOS Mojave

error: failed to run custom build command for `gstreamer-sys v0.8.1`

Unfortunately, compiling hunter with all features enabled, i.e. image and video support, isn't very streamlined yet. I'm currently trying to improve that, but meanwhile, you have two options here:

1. Install hunter without those features: cargo install --no-default-features hunter

2. Fix the problem:

   • Make sure you have the required packages installed:
     brew install gst-editing-services gst-libav gst-plugins-bad gst-plugins-base gst-plugins-good gst-plugins-ugly gstreamer gst-rtsp-server

   • Prepend the environment variable for pkg-config when installing hunter, like this:
     PKG_CONFIG_PATH='/Library/Frameworks/GStreamer.framework/Versions/Current/lib/pkgconfig' cargo install hunter

@straussdd Thanks.

I tried the second option. Installed brew packages. Run the second command and got the error below. Then run rustup toolchain install nightly as recommended. And rerun second command again. Got the same error.

@michalens I'm not 100% sure now, but I think the problem is, that nightly isn't set as your default toolchain in cargo. You could either:

• Set it as the default toolchain: rustup default nightly
• Explicitly state which toolchain cargo should use:
  PKG_CONFIG_PATH='/Library/Frameworks/GStreamer.framework/Versions/Current/lib/pkgconfig' cargo +nightly install hunter

Second option worked. Thank you!
