I've tried to add --enable-ffmpeg-mastroska, but did not work. I used
svn ffmpeg source code, and built the ffmpeg from the current source
tree. As part of VLC learning process, I would like to build VLC and
libraries from the source code, not from rpm. I understand that the
biz2 library is not linked, any help to give me a clue on how I can
modify the VLC build process to link the biz2 library and to fix that
problem?

I would like to build all source code, not using any pre-build packages.

Is it possible just to build the VLC and libraries from the native
source code, rather than using any rpm or rpm build process?

Thank you Nicolas.
