It is quite an involved guide but if followed carefully will give you a very fully-featured copy of vlc. Definitely not the same as adding a PPA though...

i managed to do it. found out libraries were installed in /usr/local/lib instead of /usr/lib. have to run:
Code:
sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/libvlc* /usr/lib/
sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/libx264.a /usr/lib/
sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/vlc /usr/lib/vlc
