Hey guys,

can somebody tell me what configurations you use to build VLC for arm64-v8a?

Do I need a x64 version of my OS (based on the error below I would suspect it)?
Which NDK should I use (tried with android-ndk-r10c-darwin-x86_64)?

Everytime I build, I get the following error:
checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
checking host system type... no
configure: error: in `/home/dev/dev/vlc_sdk/vlc/contrib/contrib-android-aarch64-linux-android/a52dec':
configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables

Thanks for your help
