Thank for all,

I will send a new version quickly, but some questions first:

> +ARAVIS_VERSION = 0.8.16

Aravis project is moving fast, there is a new version 0.8.20 already.
I'm fine with this version since it was released recently:
https://github.com/AravisProject/aravis/releases/tag/0.8.16

The 0.8.16 is available from June 2021. I had clearly well tested this version with several kernel configuration. What is it better ? the last version or the most tested version ?

To send 0.8.20 I will need few weeks, to test.

There is a list of dependencies in the Readme:

https://github.com/AravisProject/aravis/blob/main/README.md#install-dependencies-on-ubuntu-2004

especially gstreamer and plugins etc..

This rules is just for GigE Camera and not USB3Vision. I haven't tested this feature. The gstreamer is not mandator, it is only for the viewer. I am focused on Embeded system without any kind of display.

If the gstreamer or libusb3 are availables, meson is able to detect and add them during the configuration process.

To add as dependencies, forces to build the optionals features.

What's the best ?

Thank you., best regards,

Marc.

Just:

bool "aravis"

Please use "select" for pcre.

No, don't add gettext directly, use $(TARGET_NLS_DEPENDENCIES), which
will automatically add (or not) host-gettext and/or gettext to the
dependencies, depending on when it's needed or not.
