3.cd vlc-android/extras/contrib/
4.export ANDROID_NDK=/usr/local/android-ndk-r5b
5../bootstrap -t arm-eabi -d android

when i do the 5 step , there's a error .

[contrib] No install dir specified, using '/home/wjh/android/vlc-android/extras/contrib/hosts/arm-eabi'
[contrib] *****************************************************************

[contrib] * line and compile the libraries on your own. *
[contrib] * CONTRIBS_RELEASE=no ./bootstrap *
[contrib] *****************************************************************

this error means what?
i have not find 'arm-eabi' folder. i git source from git://git.videolan.org/vlc/vlc-android.git ,
ndk is installed.
if echo PATH , PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/jdk1.7.0/bin:/home/wjh/android/android-sdk-linux_x86/tools:/home/wjh/android/android-sdk-linux_x86/platform-tools:/home/wjh/android/android-ndk-r5b/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.4.3/prebuilt/linux-x86/bin

Can anyone help me? thanks very much

It's not an error, just an info. It just tells you in which folder the contrib will be built, perfectly normal.
if the folder doesn't exists, il will be created at the next step (make).

You should not use this repo, anyway.

Thank you very much!
I just do the next step " make " then have another error
