gst-all

GStreamer meson based repositories aggregrator

You can build GStreamer and all its component at once using meson and its "subproject" feature.

GStreamer uninstalled

gst-all also contains a special uninstalled target that lets you enter an uninstalled development environment where you will be able to work on GStreamer easily.

Inside that the environment you will find the GStreamer module in subprojects/, you can simply hack in there and to rebuild you just need to rerun ninja.

Build a project based on GStreamer

You can make your own project that uses GStreamer and all its components depend on gst-all making it Meson subproject of your own project.
