3 Notes for anyone wanting to build Debian packages of VLC.
5 - Default configuration is supposed to be latest unstable.
7 - To build for a Debian woody system, first build a tarball using
10 - Usually VLC will come with a copy of ffmpeg and faad2 in the extras/
11 directory, because they are not yet available in Debian.
13 - If there is no CVS directory in the root, debian/rules will assume a
14 full build is requested and will clean ffmpeg and faad2.
16 - VLC does not link with libdvdcss by default, thus it will not depend
17 on the libdvdcss packages. To build packages that link against it,
18 remove the --without-dvdcss flag in debian/rules.
