It is highly non trivial to compile VLC on solaris. In reality, no one has been able to provide VLC packages that work for Solaris in several years. Yes, there are some people that claim theyve compiled VLC but no one has provided any packages. So you should skip this. Instead, use mplayer from blastwave.org. It plays more formats than VLC, and there are packages there. Start with "gmplayer"
Maybe you could try using CBE and the spec files. These files modify the ordinary VLC source code to Solaris versions, as I have understood it. There is a long thread in section "Desktop" which is named "Syntax to build Mplayer and VLC?" by me. This message posted from opensolaris.org
