Build VLC-Android with faad

[kennylam]

Since faad provide better compatibility to .AAC files, I tired to build the vlc for android with libfaad but no luck.

I had modified the compile.sh to add --enable--faad2 in the bootstrap stage for contribs
and
modified the configure.sh to add --enable-faad in the .configure options

However, every-time I run "sh compile.sh", the following error occurs:
../vlc/android/modules/codec/.libs/libfaad_plugin.a(libfaad_plugin_la-faad.o): In function `Close':
vlc/android/modules/codec/../../../modules/codec/faad.c:135: undefined reference to `NeAACDecOpen'

It is checked that the "neaacdec.h" and "faad.h" were extisting in ./vlc/contrib/arm-linux-androideabi/ , but the error still showing that there are undefined references to such methods.

Does anybody get faad2 working in the VLC-Android? please share your thoughts

faad2 has been explicitly disabled in all builds VLC for Android per a discussion until further details are worked out.

Whatever it is already explicitly disabled, finally I figured out the way to enable it on android. I hope that leaving a note here can help the others.

First, modify compile.sh and configure.sh as stated in the top of thread.
Secondly, modify vlc-android/jni/Application.mk, add "-lfaad" paramter to the LOCAL_LDLIBS variable.

Done!
