This is the contrib build system for VLC Media Player. It has been
primarily developed for Mac OS X, though it should be easy to adapt to
other operating systems.

To use it, first in the contrib directory, type :
	./bootstrap

You can specify an argument to cross compile, for example:
    ./bootstrap i586-pc-beos
This will look for a i586-pc-beos-gcc cross compiler. Default is to
build natively.

Customize config.mak if you need to, then you need to choose between
building from source (can take a long time but is easily customizable)
and fetching a pre-compiled binary package. Either type 'make src'
or 'make bin' (also from the contrib directory).

make bin IS NOT WORKING atm USE make src

Once the contribs are built, you can start building VLC.
See: http://developers.videolan.org/vlc/osx-compile.html 
for more details on that.

Happy hacking.
