If you need to build GStreamer with a custom configuration, the
easiest option is to use Cerbero, which is a meta-build system. It
will download all the dependencies for you (including most of the
build-tools), build them with Autotools, CMake, or Meson (as
appropriate), and output an MSI installer.

gst-build is more useful when you want to hack on gstreamer since it
allows you to quickly edit files in-place and build / test your
changes with a single command.
