Download source code and extract the archive and go into your VLC directory
cd /path/to/your/vlc/folder/
As with most compilations, you need to run ./configure to get information about your computer, so it can be compiled correctly.
./configure
If you want to install VLC into another directory, run
./configure --prefix=/path/to/install/folder/
Compile VLC:
make
As root (type "su" to change to root account):
make install
To remove files created during the compile (optional) type:
make clean
SVN
If you download code using SVN, then you need to additionally call
./bootstrap
before ./configure.
Notes
Debian
Debian users who want to compile VLC should install the packages below. Note: if you just want to use VLC media player then simply install the package vlc (apt-get install vlc) - the unstable version is normally very up-to-date (and stable is, er, stable ;-)
