Howto build VLC 1.0.0-git in Ubuntu in less than 5 commands.
Since building VLC is easier and easier now, I am compelled to improve my HOWTOS. Here is one for Ubuntu, that can easily adapt to Debian.
This is not a complete and detailed post, but just a summary. If you need more details, take the Build on Intrepid HOWTO.
Get all you need
sudo apt-get build-dep vlc && sudo apt-get install libtool build-essential automake1.10 git-core
Get the source
git clone git://git.videolan.org/vlc.git
Go
cd vlc && ./bootstrap
mkdir build && cd build && ../configure --disable-nls --enable-qt4
make
Done.
