the SlackBuilds listed in the REQUIRES field of the vlc.info file.
No script changes are necessary to include particular options; if they
are detected at build time, they will be included. Conversely if

+Support for OpenCV is temporarily disabled by default due to build error.
+However it is possible to include opencv support using the somewhat
+older opencv-legacy SlackBuild rather than opencv. It then needs to
+be explicitly enabled by setting the the OPENCV environment variable
+to "yes" e.g.
+ OPENCV=yes sh vlc.SlackBuild
+This requires the opencv-legacy package to be installed at build time.
Support for Wayland is a special case. It is not supported by default
but can be enabled setting the WAYLAND environment variable to "yes"
