After reading a few forums and readme file followed to the dot and many tries to compile I still can't. I am a newbie so please bear with me and any pointers would be greatly appreciated. I tried the latest SVN src code. This is what goes on during the configure stage:
As far as I can tell the modules_builtin.h compilation fails or ?$ ../configure-vlc
+ AUTOMAKESUCKS=no
+ INSTALLSUCKS=no
+ ACLOCAL_ARGS='-I m4'
+ test -d extras/contrib/bin

+ automake-1.9 --version

+ break
+ test -1.9 = no
+ case "${amvers}" in
+ libtoolize=no
+ glibtoolize --version
+ libtoolize --version
+ libtoolize=libtoolize
+ test libtoolize = no
+ gettextize --version
++ gettextize --version
++ sed -e '1s/[^0-9]*//' -e q

generating modules/**/Makefile.am and m4/private.m4

You should add the contents of `/usr/share/aclocal/libtool.m4' to `aclocal.m4'.
Putting files in AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR, `autotools'.
