Which steps do you think I didn't follow?  I really have a *lot* of 
experience building large, complicated programs.  I used to be the 
build expert for CADDS when I worked at Computervision, and I spent 
quite a lot of time building lilypond once I started contributing to 
open source software. 

I was hoping that I wouldn't have to guess about libraries to load 
once I'd done "apt-get build-dep vlc", but that turned out to not be 
sufficient.  I needed to load a couple of -dev packages to get 
includes and libraries that the build turned out to need. 

It's also true that I have no idea at all how ffmpeg was compiled, so 
the options I copied out of the web page may well be wrong from that 
point of view.  Did you compile ffmpeg yourself? 

So I'm happy to hear suggestions for something different to do, but I 
really think I did what they told me to do.  And no, I haven't done 
exhaustive testing, but the first stream I tried to open crashed in 
less than a minute without ever showing video or playing sound.
