In general, you can reproduce a Debian package by making sure you have a deb-src line in your /etc/apt/sources.list like this: deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ bookworm main contrib non-free Then you want to: # apt update # apt install build-essential # apt-get source vlc vlc-bin from man apt-get: source source causes apt-get to fetch source packages. APT will examine the available packages to decide which source package to fetch. It will then find and download into the current directory the newest available version of that source package while respecting the default release, set with the option APT::Default-Release, the -t option or per package with the pkg/release syntax, if possible. After that, you might want to talk to the VLC developer's list for VLC-specific issues. -dsr-
