how resolve error?

when see in configure stage

code:

configure: error: no package 'dbus-1' found.

it means you're missing development package (those ending -dev)
in case

code:

$ apt-cache search -n dbus-1 | grep dev  libdbus-1-dev - simple interprocess messaging system (development headers)

so

code:

$ sudo apt-get install libdbus-1-dev

and try again

install build dependencies ubuntu's version of package then

code:

$ sudo apt-get build-dep vlc
