GDK issues on self-built VLC on Linux Mint 21.3

I'm trying to compile VLC on Linux Mint 21.3 since I need a fix that's in a newer version than the apt repository, and relies on personal files, so the snap wouldn't work well for it. I pulled the latest commit from the gitlab page, I ran sudo apt-get build-dep vlc and installed the dependancies, I ran ./bootstrap, I ran ./configure, and I ran make. When I try and run the resulting executable, it freezes on startup.
