Trying that plus re-bootstrap caused the linking of libvlccore to fail :)

It turns out the build system needs some symlinks at least in
build/src/.libs/ to certain libtool files in build/src/ (libvlccore*.la,
.lo), but these links are only created by a full configure and not
config.status (which runs configure in --no-create mode).

And well, now I know my live555 is too old :)

But I guess I can live with that. If I need it, I'll look into updating
the contribs later...


Summary:

---8<---8<---8<---

cd vlc/build
find . -name .deps -exec rm -rf \{\} \;
find . -name .libs -exec rm -rf \{\} \;
cd ..
./bootstrap
./configure
./compile

---8<---8<---8<---

did the trick... but now my vlc binary is in vlc/vlc, not in
vlc/build/vlc. I guess I should have given a prefix to configure.

Anyway, it works...
