Compile Gstreamer for Windows on a build server without a connection to the Internet - is it possible at all?

[Nicolas Dufresne]

 From a machine with internet, you can create a source-bundle, see Cerbero
help and readme for details. This bundle exist for distributing the result
in a LGPL compliant way. It can be used to build without internet access.
