plasma-workspace: add glib-networking and gstreamer as dependancies (for environment variable) #101477

How does the radio plugin work? Is there a way to wrap it or add the dependencies to its path instead? |
|
It is a plasma extension written in QML2. I haven't spend a lot of time looking at this to see if I could dynamically load QT library or set environment variable, but it is clearly using only an interpreted, domain specific language. This language is QT specific. |

@K900 What do you think about this PR? Is it worth to look into or should we close it due to staleness? |

I think we have those already. |
Motivation for this change
I wanted to use the radio plugin for plasma desktop. It use qtmultimediaplayer, who need gstreamer plugins and glib-networking as runtime dependancies. As I was unable to find how to make glib depend on glib-networking at compile time (cycling dependancies, althought some stuff should be doable by compiling a minimal glib-networking version in the same derivation of glib, I decended it may be a subject for another day). With this, I can play the radio I want, which use https. (I also need to load the vaapi gst plugin at runtime, via a global environment variable).

My audio stream also require it, but it isn't a default installation of wrapGApps, and may add unwanted use of storage.
