How and where to configure -enable-pp AND -enable-shared option 
switches? This is my first time compiling vlc, your help is very much 
appreciated.

Also the error "ffmpeg.c:36:24: avcodec.h: No such file or directory" 
seems that avcodec.h can't be find, and I did not find the file under 
vlc source tree, do we need the file?

Thanks,

Jingsong

Jingsong,


These switches should be used when compiling ffmpeg, before compiling 
vlc. If you have not compiled ffmpeg, maybe used a packaged version, 
deinstall it, grab ffmpeg source (at vlc download page) and compile it 
with these switches.

As far as I remember, the missing files you mentioned are provided by 
ffmpeg.


Good luck,

Rodrigo
