It is possible to develop and compile against an uninstalled copy of
-gstreamer and gst-plugins-* (for example, against gits checkouts).

+gstreamer and gst-plugins-* (for example, against git checkouts). This
+allows you to develop against and test the latest GStreamer version
+without having to install it and without interfering with your system-wide
+GStreamer setup.

The easiest way too create such a setup is the
<ulink url="http://cgit.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/tree/scripts/create-uninstalled-setup.sh">latest version of create-uninstalled-setup.sh</ulink>
- </para>

This setup makes use of the
<ulink url="http://cgit.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/tree/scripts/gst-uninstalled">latest version of gst-uninstalled</ulink>.
Running this script, you'll be in an environment where the uninstalled
tools and plugins will be used by default. Also, pkg-config will detect the
uninstalled copies before (and prefer them to) any installed copies.

Multiple uninstalled setups can be used in parallel. Have a look at
-<ulink url="http://cgit.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/tree/scripts/gst-uninstalled">gst-uninstalled</ulink> to see how it determines which environment is used.
