I got the source code from http://nightlies.videolan.org/build/source/.
But it is missing files like faad.h, avcodec.h... Hence when I try configure my build, it fails for missing header files.
Initially I was planning to bootstrap then configure and then make. But I could never get bootstrap working. Then experts on videolan IRC tols me that since I am not adding/removing any modules, I can use bootstrapped code from http://nightlies.videolan.org/build/source/ and directly go for configure.
I have not modified any files yet and trying to build source code as it is. But it fails for missing header files. First it failed for dvdread module, then in my configure option I used --disable-dvdread, then it failed for ffmpeg so I tried --disable-ffmpeg. Now I am getting errors for faad. I think I am missing some step in getting these header files.
I really appreciate your answers.
