+Building VideoLAN
+=================
+
+A typical way to configure the vlc is :
+
+ ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-gnome --with-sdl
+
+For a full compilation, you may try :
+
+ ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-gnome --enable-fb \
+ --with-glide --with-ggi --with-sdl --enable-esd --enable-alsa
+
+See `./configure --help' for more information.
+
+Then, run `make', and `make install' to install it.
+
+
+To build a Debian package, you may use :
+
+ dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -us -uc
+
+
+To build RedHat packages, use :
+
+ rpm -ba vlc.spec
+
+
+Here's a shortcut to copy-paste to do 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 && make
+
+
+Installing and running VideoLAN
+===============================
+
+You can install the vlc and its plugins by typing :
+
+ make install
+
+But you don't need to do it if you don't want ; vlc can be launched
+from the current directory as well :
+
+ ./vlc
