Install build dependencies:
sudo apt-get install gtk-doc-tools liborc-0.4-0 liborc-0.4-dev libvorbis-dev libcdparanoia-dev libcdparanoia0 cdparanoia libvisual-0.4-0 libvisual-0.4-dev libvisual-0.4-plugins libvisual-projectm vorbis-tools vorbisgain libopus-dev libopus-doc libopus0 libopusfile-dev libopusfile0 libtheora-bin libtheora-dev libtheora-doc libvpx-dev libvpx-doc libvpx3 libqt5gstreamer-1.0-0 libgstreamer0.10-dev libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-dev libflac++-dev libavc1394-dev libraw1394-dev libraw1394-tools libraw1394-doc libraw1394-tools libtag1-dev libtagc0-dev libwavpack-dev wavpack
Extras:
sudo apt-get install libfontconfig1-dev libfreetype6-dev libx11-dev libxext-dev libxfixes-dev libxi-dev libxrender-dev libxcb1-dev libx11-xcb-dev libxcb-glx0-dev
Additionally, if you do not configure with -qt-xcb (for QT only with gstreamer), you should also install these development packages:
sudo apt-get install libxcb-keysyms1-dev libxcb-image0-dev libxcb-shm0-dev libxcb-icccm4-dev libxcb-sync0-dev libxcb-xfixes0-dev libxcb-shape0-dev libxcb-randr0-dev libxcb-render-util0-dev
Some of these packages depend on others in this list, so installing one may cause others to be automatically installed. Other distributions may provide system packages with similar names.
Basic Qt dependencies:
sudo apt-get install libfontconfig1-dev libdbus-1-dev libfreetype6-dev libudev-dev
Dependencies for multimedia:
sudo apt-get install libasound2-dev libavcodec-dev libavformat-dev libswscale-dev libgstreamer0.10-dev libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-dev gstreamer-tools gstreamer0.10-plugins-good gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad
QtWebKit dependencies:
sudo apt-get install libicu-dev libsqlite3-dev libxslt1-dev libssl-dev
Navigate to the source directory needed for the build:
Check out the sources, one by one:
git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/gstreamer/gstreamer
git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/gstreamer/gst-plugins-base
git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/gstreamer/gst-plugins-good
git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/gstreamer/gst-plugins-bad
git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/gstreamer/gst-plugins-ugly
git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/gstreamer/gst-libav
git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/gstreamer/gst-python
git clone https://cgit.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer-vaapi
Prepare the target directories where the binaries will reside:
sudo mkdir -p /apps/gstreamer/git
sudo mkdir -p /apps/gst-plugins-base/git
sudo mkdir -p /apps/gst-plugins-good/git
sudo mkdir -p /apps/gst-plugins-bad/git
sudo mkdir -p /apps/gst-plugins-ugly/git
sudo mkdir -p /apps/gst-libav/git
sudo mkdir -p /apps/gst-python/git
sudo mkdir -p /apps/gstreamer-vaapi/git
Write an initial module file for gstreamer, to be expanded on completion when dependencies are built:

set appname gstreamer

Now, to build:
Check out all sources above and navigate to each build directory:
cd gstreamer
git pull
./autogen.sh
./configure --prefix=/apps/gstreamer/git --enable-gtk-doc
time make -j$(nproc)
sudo make install
cd ..
cd gst-plugins-base
git pull
module load gstreamer/git
./autogen.sh --prefix=/apps/gst-plugins-base/git --enable-gtk-doc --enable-iso-codes --enable-orc
time make -j$(nproc)
sudo make install
cd ..
cd gst-plugins-good
git pull
module load gstreamer/git
./autogen.sh --prefix=/apps/gst-plugins-good/git --enable-gtk-doc --enable-orc
time make -j$(nproc)
sudo make install
cd ..
cd gst-plugins-ugly
git pull

sudo make install
cd ..
cd gst-libav
git pull

time make -j$(nproc)
sudo make install
cd ..
cd gst-plugins-bad
git pull
./autogen.sh --prefix=/apps/gst-plugins-bad/git --enable-gtk-doc --enable-orc --with-cuda-prefix=/usr/local/cuda
time make -j$(nproc)
sudo make install
cd ..
To build python bindings:
cd gst-python
module load gstreamer/git
git pull
./autogen.sh
./configure --prefix=/apps/gstreamer/git
time make -j$(nproc)
sudo make install
cd ..
Create all modules for the installed packages:
For the main gstreamer modulefile:
module show gstreamer/git

Now, you've successfully deployed gstreamer in a custom location for use.
Next gist: Building QT5 with this version of gstreamer baked in.
