When you have done this once, you can use autoregen.sh to re-autogen with

-You can also run your whole cvs stack uninstalled. The script in
-the gstreamer module /docs/faq/gst-uninstalled) is helpful in setting
-up your environment for this.
+You can also run your whole git stack uninstalled in your home directory,
+so that you can quickly test changes without affecting your system setup or
+interfering with GStreamer installed from packages. Many GStreamer developers
+use an uninstalled setup for their work.
+
+There is a 'create-uninstalled-setup.sh' script in
+

+
+to easily create an uninstalled setup from scratch.
