+We recommend using GCC to build VLC, though some people reported success
+with the Intel C compiler (version 8) as well. GCC version 3.3 or higher is
+required. On older systems (e.g. FreeBSD 4.x), please select a more recent
+version manually by setting the CC and CXX environment variables
+appropriately while running the ./configure shell script.
