1. Install the development packages
As root, type the following two commands:
$ apt-get install build-essential
$ apt-get install libassa3.5-5-dev libv4l-ruby1.8 debhelper dh-buildinfo gettext quilt nasm yasm libxul-dev liba52-0.7.4-dev libaa1-dev libasound2-dev libcaca-dev libcdio-dev libdca-dev libdvbpsi4-dev libaudiofile-dev libavahi-client-dev libavcodec-dev libdvdnav-dev libdvdread-dev libesd0-dev libfaad-dev libflac-dev libfreetype6-dev libfribidi-dev libggi2-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libglib2.0-0 libgnutls-dev libhal-dev libid3tag0-dev libidl0 libimlib2-dev libjack-dev liblircclient-dev liblivemedia-dev liblua5.1-0-dev libmad0-dev libmatroska-dev libmodplug-dev libmpcdec-dev libmpeg2-4-dev libncursesw5-dev libnotify-dev libogg-dev libpng12-dev libpostproc-dev libpulse-dev libqt4-dev libschroedinger-dev libsdl-image1.2-dev libsdl1.2-dev libvcdinfo-dev libvorbis-dev libx11-dev libx264-dev libxext-dev libxml2-dev libxpm-dev libxt-dev libxv-dev pkg-config qt4-dev-tools zlib1g-dev
The first one will install the meta package build-essential, which depends on compilation tools, while the latter will install development libraries needed to compile VLC.
2. Make a symbolic link in /usr/lib
Make a symbolic link in /usr/lib/ which will point to the libGL library. This may depend on which driver you have installed. You may not need to do this step. For example, I used here:
3. Download the source code$ ln -s /usr/lib/libGL.so.173.14.09 /usr/lib/libGL.so
Download the VLC source tarball from the official website (direct link here) and uncompress it:
4. Compile and install$ tar -xjf vlc-1.0.1.tar.bz2
Now make sure the current working directory is vlc-1.0.1 and issue the following commands:
$ ./configure –disable-nls –disable-mozilla –disable-live555
$ make
$ sudo make install
Without the switches –disable-nls and –disable-mozilla I got the error configure: error: Buggy GNU/libc (version 2.5 – 2.7) present. VLC would crash; there is no viable work-around for this. so I had to disable them.
5. Finally, run ldconfig as root:
This should be all. Run VLC by typing vlc in a terminal or hitting Alt+F2 and typing vlc in the run box that appears.$ sudo ldconfig
You can also install as normal user by changing the installation prefix, e.g.:
$ ./configure –prefix=/home/USER/usr –disable-nls –disable-mozilla –disable-live555
$ make
$ sudo make install
Just make sure to replace USER with your username and include /home/USER/usr/bin in your $PATH variable.
