	You must install and enable all the ~~3rd party~~ libraries ~~that you need~~. If you fail to install a required library, you ~~can~~ end up with a VLC ~~application~~ that ~~misbehave. See [[Contrib Status\|here]] for~~ the ~~complete list.~~		You must install and enable all the necessary underlying libraries. If you fail to install a required library, either the configure script or (more likely) you will end up with a crippled VLC program. Furthermore keep in mind that whilst build a program (in this case, VLC), you need to install the '''development packages''' (development header files and import libraries), not just the run-time libraries. On Debian/Ubuntu, the correct package names end with -dev. On RPM distributions, they usually end in -devel.

	'''Be careful!''' If the libraries are not provided by your distribution, you may be better off linking VLC with them statically. See the "Contrib" method.		'''Be careful!'''

			Installing the dependencies from the package or portage system is generally much easier and faster. However this only works if your distribution actually ships the necessary libraries. Otherwise, you may need to use the contribs method (see below). It is also possible to combine both methods, picking only the missing bits and pieces from contribs.
