how to install

[Jake Goulding]

Yo,

Basically, what you have to do is configure the source code, then 
compile it. Here's detailed instructions, since you are completely new 
to the command line:

After downloading and expanding the source code on the desktop (I assume 
here that Stuffit Expander did this for you), you will need to open the 
Terminal then type this

"cd Desktop"  -  this will _C_hange your _D_irectory to the desktop
"cd vlc folder"  -  once again, changing into the vlc folder, replace it 
with whatever the actual name is
"./configure && make"  -  this will configure and make the vlc 
application, amazing huh?

A bunch of text from the compiler will stream by, then eventuall you 
should have the finished product.

BTW- note that this list is mostly regular linux users (I assume) so you 
may want to make sure from now on that your questions pertain to MacOS X.
