[Help/Compile]"VLC source not found" though cloned src

[zj262144]

I followed this guide: http://wiki.videolan.org/AndroidCompile#Get_VLC_Source

My aim: on Ubuntu 12.04 x64 --- compile/build vlc(apk) for Android Emulator

I've done

Code: Select all

git clone git://git.videolan.org/vlc-ports/android.git vlc

at "~/Android" path

then (SDK & NDK is OK)

the following code is 200+MB and that's for General/x86, right?
(following log)

zj@ubuntu:~/Android/vlc$ sh compile.sh

For an ARMv6 device without FPU, you need a build without FPU:
$ export NO_FPU=1
For an ARMv5 device or the Android emulator, you need an ARMv5 build:
$ export NO_ARMV6=1

If you plan to use a release build, run 'compile.sh release'

Applying the patches
Applying: libavcodec: add NEON runtime autodetection
Applying: libvlc: add language and frame rate to libvlc_media_track_info_t
Building the contribs
Guessing build system... x86_64-linux-gnu
Creating configuration file... config.mak
Bootstrap completed.

Run "make" to start compilation.

Other targets:
* make install same as "make"
* make prebuilt fetch and install prebuilt binaries
* make list list packages
* make fetch fetch required source tarballs
* make fetch-all fetch all source tarballs
* make distclean clean everything and undo bootstrap
* make mostlyclean clean everything except source tarballs
* make clean clean everything
* make package prepare prebuilt packages

so that means "ANDROID_ABI=armeabi" and "NO_ARMV6=1" isn't catched by configure?

BTW

You need to do "export ANDROID_ABI=armeabi" before you start anything.

Please follow the instructions as written. For example, you should not be running sh configure.sh by hand (unless you really know what you are doing).

it still get "VLC source not found"...
(my network is congested now, so I use proxychain, it's should be the same...)

That is normal. It is supposed to say that, because vlc.git (libvlc source) is not checked out yet, so it will have to clone that. That is normal.

[Jean-Baptiste Kempf]

You cut it during the vlc cloning....
