Since vlc is a Cocoa application, you need to start it with
./vlc.app/Contents/MacOS/vlc

if you start the executable outside of the vlc.app directory, it won't find
it's NIB file, and all the other stuff in vlc.app. 
For some strange reason, it will still start, but hang there without menubar
or windows (since they are loaded from the NIB file).
