go to your build folder, remove "VLC.app" and type "make".

If you want to do frequent changes, consider running "make VLC-dev.app", which will give you a non-distributable application package, which is way faster to create for debug purposes.

If you encounter any further issues, you are welcome to join us on #videolan (freenode network) for direct support.
