Ubuntu has GStreamer 1.x since quite some time and it's the default that is
e.g. used by GNOME since 3.6.

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gstreamer1.0

It's really not much different than compiling other software :) What problems
do you face when trying that?

gstreamer.com and the GStreamer SDK is a 3rd party project by two companies,
and it does not have any connection with the GStreamer project. You can find
binaries for Windows and other platforms using the very latest versions of
GStreamer here: http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/pkg/

These basically work the same as the binaries from gstreamer.com
