+Configuring VLC
+===============

+A typical way to configure VLC is:
 
-   ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-gnome --with-sdl
+   ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-wxwindows
 
 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:
 
-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 \
