This guide will help you compile VLC media player for your platform.
This guide is intended for developers and power users. Compiling VLC is not an easy task.
You should come on IRC to assist you during this phase.
Warning: Please, do not put pre-release test binaries or git-compiles on software sites or on user-forums. We've had bad experiences with this before and we do not appreciate it.
