+== Building GStreamer from source
+GStreamer has recently converted to a single repository which made things much easier to build.
+
+Example building on Ubuntu 20.04 Focal:
+ * build
+{{{#!bash
+# install a few dependencies
+sed -i "s/# deb-src/deb-src/" /etc/apt/sources.list
+apt update
+apt build-dep gstreamer1.0-plugins-good
+apt build-dep gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad
+apt build-dep gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly
+apt install git python3-pip flex bison ninja-build
+# meson version on Ubuntu focal is too old...download a local one
+apt purge meson
+apt install python3-pip
+pip3 install --user meson
+PATH=~/.local/bin:$PATH
+# clone repo
+git clone https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer.git
+cd gstreamer
+# create Makefiles with meson to build with objects in 'build' subdir
+meson build
+# use ninja to build in 'build' subdir
+ninja -C build
+# use ninja to create a development environment to use locally without installing
+ninja -C build devenv
+}}}
+ - to reconfigure use 'meson build --reconfigure'
+
