After git cloning (git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer)
there is not ./configure.
I would try it to create with autoconf. I get configure.ac:11: error: possibly

      See the Autoconf documentation.
configure.ac:14: error: possibly undefined macro: AS_VERSION
configure.ac:17: error: possibly undefined macro: AS_NANO
