Don't worry, you aren't, you're being an entirely normal computer user.

You don't. The only people likely to be equipped to do this are  
professional software engineers. I should point out that Carl Eugen knows  
this full well and is being deliberately obstructive.

What Carl Eugen is doing here is asking you to compile a special version  
of ffmpeg using only parts of the source code that went into making up the  
version with which you're working. Again, this is not something you will  
be able to do unless you're an experienced software engineer (and again,  
Carl Eugen knows this very well and again, he's being deliberately  
difficult).

Carl Eugen, please don't ask people to do things that you know they're  
unlikely to be able to do.

It is considered rude.
