+A typical way to configure vlc is:
 
-   ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-gnome --with-sdl
+   ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-gnome
 
-For a full compilation, you may try :
+See `./configure --help' for more information.
 
-   ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-gnome --enable-fb \
-           --with-glide --with-ggi --with-sdl --enable-esd --enable-alsa
+If you intend to debug stuff, you may want to compile with debugging

+   make distclean ; ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-gnome --enable-debug
 
-Then, run `make', and `make install' to install it.
