Then you need to add 
--with-ffmpeg-tree=/path/to/vlc-0.8.0-test2/extras/ffmpeg

(absolute path needed)

I suggest you don't use the gnome interface which is outdated but the 
wxwindows interface (you need to get the wxwindows development headers).

Under debian, you can use apt-get build-dep to get all needed 
dependencies (though you will get some quite useless things for modules 
you won't need).
