I am trying to make a rtsp server that can catch a rtsp feed from a onvif camera and then redistribute this stream to everyone that connects to my server.

I created a new Ubuntu 64-bit vm on VMware Workstation using this iso:
https://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/thank-you?version=18.04.1&architecture=amd64

I then installed ubuntu-desktop:

$ sudo apt-get update

$ sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop

$ reboot

I cloned the gst-rtsp-server from its github repository to a folder on my desktop:

$ cd Desktop

$ mkdir camSrv

$ cd camSrv

$ git clone https://github.com/GStreamer/gst-rtsp-server.git

I then installed the dependency referenced by this post:

$ sudo apt-get intall autoconf -y

$ sudo apt-get intall automake -y

$ sudo apt-get intall autopoint -y

$ sudo apt-get intall libtool -y

but when i try to build the gst-rtsp-server project, I keep getting errors...

I installed a bunch of other dependencies, but now I'm stuck at the error:

configure: No package 'gstreamer-1.0' found

configure: error: no gstreamer-1.0 >= 1.15.0.1 (GSTreamer) found

I can't find what i'm missing... all i want is to make the example mentioned in this post work for me...

It seems that we do not need to compile anything by ourselves.

We can simply install required development packages from gst-rtsp-server1.0 source package :

sudo apt-get install libgstrtspserver-1.0-dev gstreamer1.0-rtsp

and then you can use it as planned.

Below is manual compilation method if you are sure that you want to do.

Install development tools:

sudo apt-get install git build-essential autoconf automake autopoint libtool pkg-config -y

sudo apt-get install gtk-doc-tools libglib2.0-dev libgstreamer1.0-dev libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0-dev -y

sudo apt-get install checkinstall

(note libgstreamer1.0-dev above).

Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/GStreamer/gst-rtsp-server.git

cd gst-rtsp-server/

But Ubuntu 18.04 LTS has old version of GStreamer library (1.14.0) so we need to checkout previous version and then compile:

git checkout 1.13.91

./autogen.sh

./configure

make

sudo checkinstall make install # enter 3 and fill *Version* field with 1.13.91

Note: you can use sudo make install in the last stage, but checkinstall is safer as it will create deb-package with compiled application (so it is controlled by APT and may be removed with sudo dpkg -r gst-rtsp).
