-A typical way to configure vlc is:
+Bootstrapping VLC
+=================
 
-   ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-gnome
+If you retrieved VLC from the SVN server and do not have a "configure"
+script, please refer to the HACKING file.

+A typical way to configure VLC is:
 
-   make distclean ; ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-gnome \
-      --enable-fb --with-glide --with-ggi --enable-esd --enable-qt
+   ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-gnome
+
+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-gnome \
-      --enable-fb --with-glide --with-ggi --enable-esd --enable-qt \
-         --enable-debug
-
-It is also possible to cross-compile for the Win32 platform using mingw32:
+   make distclean ; ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-gnome --enable-debug
 
-   make distclean ; CC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc CFLAGS=-I/usr/i586-mingw32msvc \
-   RANLIB=i586-mingw32msvc-ranlib WINDRES=i586-mingw32msvc-windres \
-   ./configure --host=i386-mingw32msvc --with-directx-path=<path> \
-   --with-sdl-config-path=<path> --with-gtk-config-path=<path>

+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.
