CCing some QtWebKit folks. Simon, Alexis, would you be ok with switching to gst 1.0?

Fix build with GStreamer 1.0

This change needs a changelog.

Are you switching all ports over to require 1.0? If yes, do you plan to remove the old code paths at the same time? (Less ifdefs)

Yes we plan to remove 0.10 support when gst 1.2 will be released.

Very good. Patch looks good to me, too, but needs a ChangeLog :)

Will add one in a few minutes :)

Unconditionally switching to 1.0 is fine for you? Otherwise it would probably be possible to first check for 1.0, and if it isn't found fall back to 0.10... but my qmake skills are not good enough for that ;)

Well, if in the near future we're going to remove the 0.10 code path, then there's probably not much value in exercising your qmake skills like that ;)

I managed to make this patch work on Ubuntu 12.04 with installing
gstreamer1.0 libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0-dev packages from here:
https://launchpad.net/~gstreamer-developers/+archive/ppa

But installing gstreamer on our Debian Squeeze and Ubuntu 11.10 bots (and on
all developers' machine) isn't trivial thing ... It is simpler to make everyone
migrate to 12.04 and then do the switch. But it needs weeks.

Ok, good points!

Ossy, what is a good time frame for you? How can we meet in the middle with the Gstreamer folks?

Fix QtWebKit compilation with GStreamer 1.0

What about this patch then? I'll put the qmake project file changes into a new bug for moving QtWebKit to GStreamer 1.0

Note that you can use the GStreamer 1.0 packages from Debian unstable on squeeze/wheezy just fine, and the same for Ubuntu.

Thanks for the idea, I'll check it soon.

Defining GST_API_VERSION_1 is necessary to fix the build.
(I can't find in gstreamer1.0 any definition of GST_API_VERSION_1.)

Yes it's a macro internal to webkit, we use it to differenciate 0.10 vs 1.0 gst code paths

[Csaba Osztrogonác]

We don't need 2 bug report for this bug. :)

Upgrade is coming soon, Ádám will send a heads-up mail 
this week about the schedule.
