 You will need the following tools if you plan to use the SVN version of vlc:
 
- - autoconf version 2.50 or later
-
- - automake version 1.5 (but 1.6 or later is recommended)
-
- - gettext version 0.10.40 (but 0.11.3 or later is recommended)

+ - gettext version 0.11.5 or later
+ - pkg-config
+ - libgcrypt 1.2 (or compatible)
 
 After retrieving the SVN tree, you need to run the bootstrap script to
 generate all the files needed to build vlc. You can then run configure.

 A typical way to configure VLC is:
 
-   ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-wxwidgets
+   ./configure --prefix=/usr
 
 See `./configure --help' for more information.
 
 If you intend to debug stuff, you may want to compile with debugging
 symbols:
 
-   make distclean ; ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-wxwidgets --enable-debug
+   make distclean ; ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-debug
 
-We recommend using GCC (versions 3.3 or later) to build VLC, though some
-people reported success with the Intel C compiler (version 8) as well. As of
-VLC version 0.9.0, GCC 2.95 is not supported anymore; if this is the default
-compiler on your system (e.g. FreeBSD 4.x), please select a more recent
-version manually by setting the CC and CXX environment variables

 Building VLC
 ============
 
-Have a look at the generated Makefile.opts file, you may want to choose
-which modules will be compiled as plugins, and which ones will remain in
-the core application. The configure script tries to guess for you.
-
 Once configured, run `make' to build VLC.
