The VideoLAN Forums

Hi everyone,

I followed the instructions on VideoLAN to compile vlc for android on a fresh native arch linux with android studio/sdk/ndk and I got this error:

• Warning passing argument 2 of 'avpriv_request_sample' makes pointer from integer without a cast [enabled by default]
  user_data_type_code);
  ^
  ./libavutil/internal.h:202:6: note: expected 'const char *' but argument is of type 'int'
  void avpriv_request_sample(void *avc,
  ^
  Error:error: format not a string literal and no format arguments [-Werror=format-security]
  user_data_type_code);
  ^
  cc1: some warnings being treated as errors
  Makefile:44: recipe for target 'libavcodec/h264_sei.o' failed

Couple days ago, I did exactly the same thing on my Virtualbox and didn't get this error. Anyone has any clue?

I will try different version then...

Works for me as of August 25, 2015. Try pulling, cleaning and re-compiling.
