Building GStreamer

[David Wells]

I did Run bootstrap and thought it ran successfully. I re-ran it and unless there is a problem with running it multiple times, it did have errors. I was blinded by my joy to see things start coming together. :)

Did you run bootstrap first and did it finish correctly?

Also run
 ./cerbero-uninstalled package gstreamer-1.0

"build" only builds one source module, "package" gives you .msi installers. Also consider using the config/win32.cbc or config/win64.cbc files when building, e.g.

 ./cerbero-uninstalled -c config/win64.cbc package gstreamer-1.0
