macOS gst-1.22.0 Broken binaries (on macOS 10.15.7 Catalina)

The gitlab.freedesktop.org macOS binaries are broken since 1.21.2 (1.21.1 binaries work)

  • In gstreamer#1752 (closed) I verified that 1.22.0 could be compiled from source on macOS, and behaved perfectly in my tests with the AirPlay server "uxplay". This was tested and rebuilt with 1.22.0, 1.21.1, 1.21.2, 1.21.3 binaries, and with my own build of 1.22.0. This is in macOS 10.15.7 Catalina.

  • 1.21.1 binaries work fine. something broke in 1.21.2, and something more broke in 1.21.3 which behaves identically to 1.22.0

  • with 1.22.0 binaries I get

% rm -rf ~/.cache/gstreamer-1.0
% ./uxplay                     
UxPlay 1.62: An Open-Source AirPlay mirroring and audio-streaming server.

  • at this point a video screen (glimagesink is selected by autovideosink) should have opened, but nothing happened.

  • now an audio stream starts:

zsh: abort      ./uxplay

  • with 1.21.1, things work fine:

  • with 1.21.2, it's the same as 1.22.0, but the video window does open.

  • 1.21.3 behaves identically to 1.22.0

  • the native build of 1.22.0 from source I did works perfectly

what in the build process changed after 1.21.1?
