Introduction
So we are going to build the latest VLC possible.
I already did it for ubuntu feisty and it had a huge success. I am going to do the same for debian/sid, which is the distro I use in normal time.
However, some steps did changed, and I compile more options here, because I can :D
Everything will be done in a console/terminal and should be straight-forward. Every question should be asked on the forum, or in the comments here.
Conventions
Every line beginning with a #
should be done as root, or using the sudo
command.
Every line beginning witha %
is a normal line.
