Building GStreamer SDK from latest sources for ARM/Android

[Steve Johnson]

Thank you, that worked great. Now I am trying to play around with the code to get my feet wet, but everytime I make a change to a local source file, the change is overwritten by the build.

For example, I added a comment to the following file to see if it would get propagated to the ~/cerbero/sources/android-arm folder when I execute the build:

~/cerbero/sources/local/gstreamer-1.0/libs/gst/net/gstnettimeprovider.c

But, no, the local file was overwritten. 

What is the standard procedure for making local changes to the sources and then building? I don’t (currently) expect to be posting any changes upstream, this is just for experimentation on my end.

Build command: $ cerbero -c config/cross-android.cbc package gstreamer-1.0.
