-Building VideoLAN
-=================
+Configuring VideoLAN
+====================
A typical way to configure vlc is:
- ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-gnome --with-sdl
+ ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-gnome
See `./configure --help' for more information.
-Then, run `make' to build vlc.
+If you intend to debug stuff, you may want to compile with debugging
+symbols:
+
+ make distclean ; ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-gnome --enable-debug
-Here is a shortcut to copy-paste for a clean build:
- make distclean 2>/dev/null ; ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-gnome \
- --enable-fb --with-glide --with-ggi --with-sdl --enable-esd \
- --enable-alsa --enable-mga --enable-gtk && make
+Building VideoLAN
+=================
+
+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.
