Bootstrapping VLC
=================
-If you retrieved VLC from the SVN server and do not have a "configure"
-script, please refer to the HACKING file.
+If you retrieved VLC from the git server and do not have yet a "configure"

+
+ ./bootstrap
Configuring VLC
===============
A typical way to configure VLC is:
- ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-wxwidgets
+ ./configure
See `./configure --help' for more information.
If you intend to debug stuff, you may want to compile with debugging
symbols:
- make distclean ; ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-wxwidgets --enable-debug
+ make distclean ; ./configure --enable-debug
-We recommend using GCC (versions 3.3 or later) to build VLC, though some
-people reported success with the Intel C compiler (version 8) as well. As of
-VLC version 0.9.0, GCC 2.95 is not supported anymore; if this is the default

appropriately while running the ./configure shell script.
Building VLC
============
-Have a look at the generated Makefile.opts file, you may want to choose
-which modules will be compiled as plugins, and which ones will remain in
-the core application. The configure script tries to guess for you.
-
Once configured, run `make' to build VLC.
