I have to add repository in order to install bunch of these development libs. http://debian-multimedia.org/ Maybe you should write it in the beginning of the article.

I have to install additional packages too: apt-get install libavformat-dev libswscale-dev

I like my way much better

echo "media-video/vlc X a52 aac aalib alsa avahi bidi cdda cddb dbus dts dvb dvd ffmpeg flac gcrypt gnutls hal httpd id3tag ieee1394 jack libnotify matroska mmx mp3 mpeg musepack ncurses nsplugin ogg opengl png pulseaudio qt4 sdl speex stream svg theora truetype v4l v4l2 vorbis win32codecs x264 xcb xinerama xml xv" >> /etc/portage/package.use

emerge vlc

*edit* then again, that doesn't work well at all for Debian

For Debian and to make the system aware that the package is installed

# apt-get install checkinstall

$ cd /Path/to/SrcFolder $ configure $ make

# checkinstall

The package is now not only installed, with the system aware of it, but you have a .deb of it as well.

Checkinstall is the cat's meow. I've used it for Slackware packages for quite a while.

Cool. I never heard of checkinstall before. I install quite a few things from source so this will come in handy.
