Custom Gstreamer build

[EMC]

Hello,
I want to customize gstreamer for a project that I will host iinternally.
I am new to cerbero as well as git, and  a bit lost.  Maybe someone here can offer advice?

I am building a video player around gstreamer for android_x86.  I am able to use cerbero to build gstreamer and then put an app around it successfully.  Now, I want to do some custom rendering.  Each time I change a source file, it overwrites what I did during the subsequent build.  How can I change that behavior?  

Also, I will need  to create an internally hosted git repository from the code.  Is there an easy way to do that?  Will I have to change all of the recipes?

This seems a common problem, is there a document somewhere to describe what I am trying to do?

Thanks in advance

Cerbero is not directly a development tool. You give it a tarball or a
git report / branh with some patches maybe and it builds it. For
development, you likely want to use cerbero shell, which give you a
properly setup environment to cross compile using autotool.

Yes, you have to edits the recipes to point to you fork.

All we have for now is the README file and:

https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/documentation/deploying/multiplatform
-using-cerbero.html

Thanks Nicolas! I'm working on something similar and was able to get this built from a custom fork with your help! One follow-up question: How do you specify which headers you want to get included by default? For example, I want to include all the headers in gst-plugins-good/gst/rtsp. Thanks for any help you could provide!

Thanks for the reply.

After cerbero created the build environment, I have been creating custom builds by using the cerbero shell.
For example, to do a custom renderer:

>./cerbero-uninstalled -c config/cross-android-x86.cbc shell
$>cd ~/gst/cerbero/build/sources/android_x86
$>cd ./gst-plugins-bad-1.0-static-1.11.2.1
$>make clean
$>make all
