Greetings

I am an open-source contributor eager to contribute to VideoLAN's VLC.
Therefore, I am setting up the VLC development environment on my Ubuntu
using this guide: https://wiki.videolan.org/UnixCompile .

But for some reason, when I run the `make` command, I am getting 4 errors,
which I cannot resolve even after I have searched the web for a long time.
Due to this, after the `make` command finishes, no `build` directory is
being created in my codebase where I can run the `./vlc` command to launch
VLC, according to https://wiki.videolan.org/UnixCompile/#Compilation .

I am attaching a screenshot of the errors that are coming in my Ubuntu
terminal. I would really appreciate prompt help from the VideoLAN Developer
Community for this issue.

Sincerely
Ash V
