[vlc-devel] error while compiling

[Fayyaz Khan]

tar.xz is a zipped format similar to tar.gz. Tar itself is the 
compression and decompression program. Assuming you are using some linux 
distribution, simply right clicking the file should show the option to 
extract it in a folder. Alternately look at man pages of tar command. 
For tar.gz tar -xvf was the switch i remember using. Don't remember for 
tar.xz by heart but there should be.
