    I had to build VLC 3.x from src, and the below steps was the only way that I could achieve this in late 2020.
    After many hours, I faced the problem that most of the tutorials out there are so outdated that they just cant work nowdays.
    I builded it for Windows x64, on a Pop_os 20.04 VM using a builder container.
    I don't know if it works with dev or not, and I can't even trust it to work after like half year, but here it is.
    Tip: check build.sh manual for options.

    BUILD STEPS:
    1. install docker
    2. cd ~
    3. mkdir win64
    4. sudo docker run -v ~/win64:/win64 --name builder -i -t registry.videolan.org:5000/vlc-debian-win64 /bin/bash
    5. apt-get update && apt-get install python -y
    6. cd win64
    7. git clone https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc-3.0.git
    8. cd vlc-3.0 (edit src here if needed)
    9. ./extras/package/win32/build.sh -a x86_64 (first build takes 1+ hour)
    10. cd win64
    11. make package-win32-zip (creates a portable zip package - very nice)

    RE-RUN (after reboot or something):
    1. sudo docker start builder
    2. sudo docker exec -i -t builder /bin/bash
    3. ./extras/package/win32/build.sh -a x86_64 && cd win64 && make package-win32-zip && cd .. && echo -----FINISHED-----
    - after the first build, it only compiles changed files, so it takes like 5 minutes

    - for stopping the builder container: sudo docker stop builder
    - check if its running: sudo docker ps --all
