[vlc-devel] [PATCH] .gitignore: Add some more specific entries to gitignore files

[Daniel Glaas]

Ok, I followed the guide written here: 
https://wiki.videolan.org/UnixCompile/#Configuration. 
<https://wiki.videolan.org/UnixCompile/#Configuration> There it is 
indeed written:


      Prefix

If you want to install VLC into another directory, run

$  <https://wiki.videolan.org/Command-line_interface/>  ./configure --prefix=/path/to/install/folder/

But I saw no reason to choose a different installation folder. Thus my 
patches can be ignored and maybe this wiki article should be extended by 
some more explaining words.
