<p>Ok, I followed the guide written here: <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://wiki.videolan.org/UnixCompile/#Configuration">https://wiki.videolan.org/UnixCompile/#Configuration.</a>
There it is indeed written:<br>
</p>
<h3><span class="mw-headline" id="Prefix">Prefix</span></h3>
<p>If you want to install VLC into another directory, run </p>
<pre><a href="https://wiki.videolan.org/Command-line_interface/" title="Command-line interface">$</a> ./configure --prefix=/path/to/install/folder/
</pre>
<p>But I saw no reason to choose a different installation folder.
Thus my patches can be ignored and maybe this wiki article should
be extended by some more explaining words.</p>

<div>It's because you are compiling in tree. For VLC (and many
other projects), we recommend to build out of tree.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>$ cd vlc<br>
</div>
<div>$ mkdir build-linux<br>
</div>
<div>$ cd build-linux<br>
</div>
<div>$ ../configure <your_options><br>
</div>
<div>$ make<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Then, you won't have your git polluted and you can have more
than one build configuration (example: build-asan/
build-linux/ build-win32/ build-win64/).<br>
