Building Gstreamer on Windows 8 via cerbero

[Gazoo]

Hey Guys,

I'm hoping to ask the occasional stupid question while trying to compile my
own version of GStreamer using Cerbero (which I keep wanting to write as
Cerebro). I'm doing this in order to get at the gst-plugin-gl! Following
this guide here:

http://docs.gstreamer.com/display/GstSDK/Building+from+source+using+Cerbero

I've run into a spot of 'trubz'. When trying to run the build from my
checked out git repo (using the cerebro-uninstalled boostrap command), I get
the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./cerbero-uninstalled", line 8, in <module>
    from cerbero.main import main
  File ".\cerbero\main.py", line 34, in <module>
    from cerbero import config, commands
  File ".\cerbero\config.py", line 25, in <module>
    from cerbero.utils import _, system_info, validate_packager,
to_unixpath,\
  File ".\cerbero\utils\shell.py", line 41, in <module>
    PLATFORM = system_info()[0]
  File ".\cerbero\utils\__init__.py", line 194, in system_info
    raise FatalError("Windows version '%s' not supported" % win32_ver)
cerbero.errors.FatalError: Fatal Error: Windows version '8' not supported

I'd say the error is accurate, but am I truly boned? Can I not compile
GStreamer on Windows 8?

I also have 1 suggestions, regarding the guide:

Add a note that a restart of Msys/MinGw is required in order for the path
pointing to Git and Python to take effect.

For some reason the following command does nada for me:

echo "alias cerbero='~/cerbero/cerbero-uninstalled'" >> ~/.bashrc

As I still need to call it via cerbero-uninstalled. Doesn't ~ refer to my
home dir? If so - it should work...

Regards,
Gazoo
