Dear all,
this is one of my first posts here but I guess there will be many of them as time goes by. I need to work with VLC and mess with the source code and I had some problems compiling the source code.
I got the subversion code and then run the bootstrap command. That developed the necessary files and then run the .configure command. And then the problems start. I get an error for mad and I run ./configure without mad. Then I got a problem finding ffmpeg. I downloaded the ffmpeg source and run ./configure with the command to find the ffmpeg tree. And then .... more things missing.
I would appreciate someone giving me some guidelines in what to download and install, or at least a point to a website with better information than the developer's website for vlc.
I installed vlc using aptitude and that works fine but I need to mess with the source code. Is there a way of using the parts that aptitude downloaded to install the source code and if so does anyone know in which directory I can point my ./configure to find it?
Thanking you in advance,
Pericles
