There are a few things you can do.  First, you can get "new" stuff by 
enabling the "backports" Ubuntu repository.  Check out 
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports for information on how 
to enable those repositories.

I've built xine on Ubuntu since 7.04, and apt-get makes it really easy 
to create an output with almost every option enabled.  Just execute the 
following before you build...

sudo apt-get build-deps [package]

(It's been so long since I did it, I can't remember if it's "xine" or 
"xine-lib" or "libxine", but that's the syntax of the command.)  This 
will likely install hordes of development packages - the nice thing is 
that, once installed, your normal updates should keep these packages 
updated too.  Then, try the build again.  What I'd recommend is using 
the technique described at http://www.xinehq.de/index.php/faq#DEBBUILD - 
this will build .deb packages for you, which you can then install using

sudo dpkg -i [name-of-deb].deb

That way, you don't lose the package management aspect of it.
