將gstreamer及其插件編譯好並安裝在如下目錄中：
/home/user/gstreamer/install
1. 下載glib源碼
(a) ./configure --prefix=/home/user/gstreamer/install
(b) make
(c) make install
在編譯glib過程中，可能需要下載一些其他庫的，如gettext等，按提示安裝上這些庫就可以了。
2. 下載xml源碼
(a) ./configure --prefix=/home/user/gstreamer/install
(b) make
(c) make install
3. 下載gstreamer源碼
(a) export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/home/user/gstreamer/install/lib/pkgconfig ./configure --prefix=/home/user/gstreamer/install
(b) make
(c) make install
在編譯gstreamer時，如果出現glib-genmarshal:命令找不到，則在(a)步驟前加入：export PATH=/home/user/gstreamer/install/bin:$PATH，如果你係統中以前裝過了glib-dev則在你係統bin下會有glib的一些文件，編譯gstreamer時，先是找系統bin目錄下的文件，如果你未裝，則必須在編譯前將home/user/gstreamer/install/bin加入到環境變量中
4. 下載gst-plugins-base
(a) export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/home/user/gstreamer/install/lib/pkgconfig ./configure --prefix=/home/user/gstreamer/install
(b) make
(c) make install
5. 下載gst-plugins-good(a) export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/home/user/gstreamer/install/lib/pkgconfig ./configure --prefix=/home/user/gstreamer/install
(b) make
(c) make install
6. 下載gst-plugins-bad(a) export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/home/user/gstreamer/install/lib/pkgconfig ./configure --prefix=/home/user/gstreamer/install
(b) make
(c) make install
7. 下載gst-plugins-ugly(a) export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/home/user/gstreamer/install/lib/pkgconfig ./configure --prefix=/home/user/gstreamer/install
(b) make
(c) make install
..................最後你就可以用自己編譯好的庫來運行自己寫的player了
