Compiling a plugin

[Michael Gruner]

I haven’t used gst-template yet, but I documented some steps on how to use the “gst-element-maker” tool shipped on plugins bad.

https://developer.ridgerun.com/wiki/index.php?title=Creating_a_New_GStreamer_Element_or_Application_Using_Templates#Create_an_empty_GStreamer_element

Hope it helps!
