Besides Benjamin's suggestion which can really help you, AFAIK, you have 
to configure ffmpeg with the --enable-pp AND the --enable-shared option 
switches.

There are several places that mention the need for the --enable-pp 
switch but I only managed to compile vlc after I also included the 
--enable-shared switch in ffmpeg's configure.


I hope this info helps you, good luck,

Rodrigo
