 COMPILING FROM GIT
 ------------------
 
-When building from git sources, you will need to run autogen.sh to generate
-the build system files.
+You can build an uninstalled GStreamer from git for development or testing
+purposes without affecting your system installation.
 
-You will need a set of additional tools typical for building from git,
-including:
-- autoconf
-- automake
-- libtool
+Get started with:
 
-autogen.sh will check for recent enough versions and complain if you don't have
-them.  You can also specify specific versions of automake and autoconf with
---with-automake and --with-autoconf
+    git clone https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-build
+    meson build
+    ninja -C build
+    ninja -C build uninstalled
 
-Check autogen.sh options by running autogen.sh --help
+For more information, see the `gst-build` module and its documentation:
 
-autogen.sh can pass on arguments to configure
-
-When you have done this once, you can use autoregen.sh to re-autogen with
-the last passed options as a handy shortcut.  Use it.
-
-After the autogen.sh stage, you can follow the directions listed in
-"COMPILING FROM SOURCE"
-
-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
-
-  http://cgit.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/tree/scripts/
-
-to easily create an uninstalled setup from scratch.
