This for example is the configuration i use: ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var \ --disable-static --enable-experimental \ --disable-schemas-install \ --disable-gconf \ --disable-hal \ --disable-dv1394 \ --disable-pulse \ --disable-esd \ --disable-esdtest \ --disable-sunaudio \ --disable-osx_audio \ --disable-osx_video \ --disable-flac \ --disable-gst_v4l2 \ --with-package-name="GStreamer Good Plugins (Archlinux)" \ --with-package-origin="http://www.archlinux.org/" || return 1
