Seems like you don't really know what you are doing? Doesn't sound like
that from your immature comments.

Vlc can be compiled just fine with the proper stuff installed, I got the
normal version compiled on a Debian system by just installing some extra
packages. Maybe you care to share some information about exactly what you
do that causes the compilation to fail?

It does have some "oddities" when running though, but that does not mean
it's "crappy code!" by any means. :)
