Steps

These are the main steps to follow to Compile VLC are :

  • Prepare your compile environment,
  • Get the source of VLC media player,
  • debootstrap, using the ./bootstrap, if needed,
  • Prepare the extras libraries needed for VLC media player, read the list,
  • configure,
  • and build.

OS

But there are the special HowTos for the OS you want VLC in. UnixCompile and Win32Compile are probably the most helpful.

Warning

Don't put any of the non-released test binaries or svn-compiles on software sites or on user-forums. We have had bad experiences with this before and we do not appreciate it.
