This page lists the libraries needed to have a fully featured VLC media player.
The additional information in the table refers to the VLC contrib build system (located in extras/contrib in VLC 1.1; in contrib in VLC 2.0+). These versions are against the trunk version.

For information on how to compile VLC media player (including the contribs) on your platform see the Build VLC media player box on the Developer Corner's page.
