+INSTALL file for vlc, the VideoLAN Client
+
+
+Building VideoLAN
+=================
+
+A typical way to configure vlc is:
+
+   ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-gnome --with-sdl
+
+See `./configure --help' for more information.
+
+Then, run `make' to build vlc.
+
+Here is a shortcut to copy-paste for a complete 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 --enable-qt && make
+
+If you intend to debug stuff, you may want to disable optimizations:
+
+   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 --enable-qt \
+      --disable-optimizatons && make
+
+
+Installing and running VideoLAN
+===============================
+
+You can install the vlc and its plugins by typing:
+
+   make install
+
+But you don't need to install it if you don't want to; vlc can be launched
+from the current directory as well:
+
+   ./vlc
+
+
+Building packages
+=================
+
+To build a Debian package, you may use:
+
+   dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -us -uc
+
+
+To build RedHat packages, use:
+
+   rpm -ba vlc.spec
+
