If you are using cygwin, you can build VLC with or without the POSIX emulation layer. Without is usually better and with POSIX emulation hasn't been tested in about a year or so. So to build without the emulation layer, use something like this:
 
 
 
  ./bootstrap && \
 
  PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/win32/lib/pkgconfig \
 
  CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/win32/include -I/usr/win32/include/ebml" \
 
  LDFLAGS=-L/usr/win32/lib \
 
  CC="gcc -mno-cygwin" CXX="g++ -mno-cygwin" \
 
  ./configure \
 
      --disable-gtk \
 
      --enable-nls --enable-sdl --with-sdl-config-path=/usr/win32/bin \
 
      --enable-ffmpeg --with-ffmpeg-mp3lame --with-ffmpeg-faac \
 
      --with-ffmpeg-zlib --enable-faad --enable-flac --enable-theora \
 
      --with-wx-config-path=/usr/win32/bin \
 
      --with-freetype-config-path=/usr/win32/bin \
 
      --with-fribidi-config-path=/usr/win32/bin \
 
      --enable-live555 --with-live555-tree=/usr/win32/live.com \
 
      --enable-caca --with-caca-config-path=/usr/win32/bin \
 
      --with-xml2-config-path=/usr/win32/bin \
 
      --with-dvdnav-config-path=/usr/win32/bin \
 
      --disable-cddax --disable-vcdx --enable-goom \
 
      --enable-twolame --enable-dvdread \
 
      --enable-debug
 
 
 
If you want to use the emulation layer, then just omit the CC="gcc -mno-cygwin" CXX="g++ -mno-cygwin" line. You're on your own though.
 
 
 
If you are compiling with MSYS/MINGW, then you can use something along those lines:
 
  ./bootstrap && \
 
  PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/win32/lib/pkgconfig \
 
  CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/win32/include -I/usr/win32/include/ebml" \
 
  LDFLAGS=-L/usr/win32/lib \
 
  ./configure \
 
      --disable-gtk \
 
      --enable-nls --enable-sdl --with-sdl-config-path=/usr/win32/bin \
 
      --enable-ffmpeg --with-ffmpeg-mp3lame --with-ffmpeg-faac \
 
      --with-ffmpeg-zlib --enable-faad --enable-flac --enable-theora \
 
      --with-wx-config-path=/usr/win32/bin \
 
      --with-freetype-config-path=/usr/win32/bin \
 
      --with-fribidi-config-path=/usr/win32/bin \
 
      --enable-caca --with-caca-config-path=/usr/win32/bin \
 
      --with-xml2-config-path=/usr/win32/bin \
 
      --with-dvdnav-config-path=/usr/win32/bin \
 
      --disable-cddax --disable-vcdx --enable-goom \
 
      --enable-twolame --enable-dvdread \
 
      --disable-[[mkv]] \
 
      --enable-debug
 
 
 
If you have used the "extras/contrib" way, you don't need to precise the CFLAGS, LDFLAGS and --with-foo-config-path=.
 
./bootstrap && \
 
  ./configure \
 
      --disable-gtk \
 
      --enable-nls --enable-sdl \
 
      --enable-ffmpeg --enable-faad --enable-flac --enable-theora \
 
      --disable-cddax --disable-vcdx --enable-goom \
 
      --enable-twolame --enable-dvdread \
 
      --enable-mkv --enable-caca --enable-live555\
 
      --enable-debug

configure (also known as ./configure) is a BASH script used to gather information about your computer and select options on what to link to and how. Before running make (which compiles vlc), you should run configure.

If you are compiling source from CVS, then you should run bootstrap before running configure.

You can run configure like this:

./configure

Options

Below are some common options for configure:

option meaning
--prefix=/home/user/vlc/ Sets the location of where to install vlc
--enable-flac Turns on support for FLAC audio files
--enable-ffmpeg Links with ffmpeg
--with-ffmpeg-tree=/home/user/ffmpeg Location of ffmpeg source code

See `./configure --help' for more information.

Examples

Linux

./configure --enable-x11 --enable-xvideo --disable-gtk \
--enable-sdl --enable-ffmpeg --with-ffmpeg-mp3lame \
--enable-mad --enable-libdvbpsi --enable-a52 --enable-dts \
--enable-libmpeg2 --enable-dvdnav --enable-faad \
--enable-vorbis --enable-ogg --enable-theora --enable-faac\
--enable-mkv --enable-freetype --enable-fribidi \
--enable-speex --enable-flac --enable-livedotcom \
--with-livedotcom-tree=/usr/lib/live --enable-caca \
--enable-skins --enable-skins2 --enable-alsa --disable-kde\
--disable-qt --enable-wxwindows --enable-ncurses \
--enable-release

If you are cross-compiling from Debian, you can use something along those lines:

 ./bootstrap
