Problems With Compiling VLC on Android

[shahab_sh]

I'm writing an android app which needs a media player (over rtsp) and after a lot of research I found that the best way to this is to compile the VLC app and start from there.
I've been trying to compile VLC on android. I followed "wiki.videolan.org/AndroidCompile" but didn't succeed.
Here is what I've done:

I'm using Kubuntu 12.10 and Eclipse juno (maybe irrelevant at this point)
All the packages mentioned in the AndroidCompile page are installed.

Code: Select all

shahab@maloos{~}: echo $ANDROID_SDK /home/shahab/android-sdks/ shahab@maloos{~}: echo $ANDROID_NDK /home/shahab/android-ndk-r8b/ shahab@maloos{~}: echo $ANDROID_ABI x86 shahab@maloos{~}: echo $PATH /usr/lib/lightdm/lightdm:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/home/shahab/android-sdks//platform-tools:/home/shahab/android-sdks//tools shahab@maloos{~}: cd workspace/android/ shahab@maloos{~/workspace/android}: sh compile.sh

I don't see any error messages.
I uploaded the output of compile.sh here:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/s2867xttwu2o3 ... output.txt

The AndroidCompile page says that by now I should have an autogenerated debug apk in the bin/ folder. There is no bin/ folder in ~/workspace/android/ and there is no *.apk file *anywhere*. I thought if it has compiled correctly at least there should be some *.so files:

Code: Select all

shahab@maloos{~/workspace/android}: find . -name "*.apk" shahab@maloos{~/workspace/android}: find . -name "*.so" ./vlc/contrib/android/iconv/preload/.libs/libiconv.so ./vlc/contrib/android/iconv/preload/preloadable_libiconv.so ./vlc/contrib/i686-linux-android/lib/preloadable_libiconv.so

one more thing, in ~/workspace/android/ there is a script named gen-env.sh that supposedly generates a file named env.txt into vlc-android/assets/ and this script gets called by the make file. But there is no env.txt and in the output of compile.sh there is no mention of gen-env.sh

Anyway, I imported the vlc-android project into eclipse. Running it on its own of course doesn't work first I get an exception which can be fixed if I manually run gen-env.sh but then I get an error saying it couldn't load libvlcjni

So I tried to compile the native code.

Code: Select all

shahab@maloos{~/workspace/android}: cd vlc-android/ shahab@maloos{~/workspace/android/vlc-android}: ~/android-ndk-r8b/ndk-build Gdbserver : [x86-4.6] libs/x86/gdbserver Gdbsetup : libs/x86/gdb.setup make: *** No rule to make target `jni/..//modules/codec/omxil/iomx.cpp', needed by `obj/local/x86/objs-debug/iomx-gingerbread/__//modules/codec/omxil/iomx.o'. Stop.

I checked the Android.mk file and turns out VLC_SRC_DIR is not set. So:

Code: Select all

shahab@maloos{~/workspace/android/vlc-android}: export VLC_SRC_DIR=../vlc/ shahab@maloos{~/workspace/android/vlc-android}: ~/android-ndk-r8b/ndk-build Gdbserver : [x86-4.6] libs/x86/gdbserver Gdbsetup : libs/x86/gdb.setup Compile++ x86 : iomx-gingerbread <= iomx.cpp jni/../../vlc//modules/codec/omxil/iomx.cpp:27:41: fatal error: media/stagefright/OMXClient.h: No such file or directory compilation terminated. make: *** [obj/local/x86/objs-debug/iomx-gingerbread/__/__/vlc//modules/codec/omxil/iomx.o] Error 1

I don't know what to do next. Am I doing something wrong? because these things haven't been mentioned in AndroidCompile. It just says run "sh compile.sh", import project into eclipse then run & enjoy!

I'd appreciate any help... I've been spending hours trying to get this to work.
Thanks

Install the 'yasm' package and run 'sh compile.sh' again. Also, I've updated AndroidCompile with this information.

[shahab_sh]

Thank you for the quick response Edward. It compiled correctly (maybe?) but now it crashes as soon as I start the VLC app
Here is what I got from LogCat:

I get this message whether I use x86 or armeabi (with NO_ARMV6 for emulator). I'm using android SDK 4.2 (API 17).
If it helps:

Code: Select all

shahab@maloos{~/workspace/android}: find . -name "VLCApplication.class" ./vlc-android/bin/classes/org/videolan/vlc/VLCApplication.class

Just a little suggestion, since the compile.sh doesn't produce any error messages if something fails due to a program missing (e.g. yasm) you might want to mention in the AndroidCompile that at the end we should get the "BUILD SUCCESSFUL" message.

EDIT: I'm using Eclipse Juno and ADT 21

[shahab_sh]

In case anyone is interested, I solved the problem a few days ago...
Actually this is kinda embarrassing... in Eclipse instead of Import existing android project, I selected Import existing project.

[VirMarGu]

Hi, I have explained my problem in other post. But I have read this post and my problem is like that shanab_sh says.
I execute 'sh compile.sh' and I get a message that says: BUILD SUCCESSFUL

But my problem is that I don't know how can I compile JNI source code in Eclipse Juno, when I modify a class of the JNI folder.
I have created a 'New Builder' following these guidelines: http://mobilepearls.com/labs/ndk-builder-in-eclipse\, but I get the following message in my console:
/home/vmg/workspace/android/android-ndk-r8c/build/core/add-application.mk:128: Android NDK: WARNING: APP_PLATFORM android-9 is larger than android:minSdkVersion 7 in ./AndroidManifest.xml

make: *** No rule to make target `jni/..//modules/codec/omxil/iomx.cpp', needed by `obj/local/armeabi/objs-debug/iomx-gingerbread/__//modules/codec/omxil/iomx.o'. Stop.

Also, when I run the application VLC for Android in the LogCat output I get this lines:

Please, help!

[edwardw]

Don't use the Eclipse builder. You have to use follow the AndroidCompile page as linked above.

[VirMarGu]

Thanks for the reply.

I have followed the guidelines of that page (http://wiki.videolan.org/AndroidCompile) and have got a project in Eclipse with the source code. When I run this project, it installs on the device correctly.
But my problem is that I want to modify the classes .c of the JNI folder and run this project and that the changes performe correctly. I have changed some things and when I run the application, it hasn't got those changes.

I want to know how can I compile the project in Eclipse and that the changes of these class, that are written in C language, take effect.

THanks!

This has nothing to do with Eclipse.

[VirMarGu]

Thanks, again!
I have to compile the classes .c, for these changes take effect. I try to compile the class libvlcjni.c from the terminal and this is what I get:

vmg@bakio:~/workspace/android/android/vlc-android/jni$ ls
Android.mk eventfd.c pthread-condattr.c utils.h

vmg@bakio:~/workspace/android/android/vlc-android/jni$ gcc libvlcjni.c

[edwardw]

Change directory back to the root of VLC for Android (~/workspace/android/android/), and try this:

Code: Select all

source ./env.sh make distclean -e make -e

[VirMarGu]

Thanks for the reply!

I have modified the libvlcjni.c class with the following change:
#define LOG_TAG "VLC/JNI/Vir/main" instead of #define LOG_TAG "VLC/JNI/main" to see if the trace output has the new LOG_TAG.

And I have tried it:
source ./env.sh
make distclean -e
make -e

This is the message of output in the terminal:

Thanks! I haven't explained correctly.

I tried to compile libvlcjni.c and I got this:

I tried it and the output of the terminal is as follows:

I have seen that there are two errors:

Code: Select all

/home/vmg/workspace/android/android-ndk-r8c/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.6/prebuilt/linux-x86/bin/../lib/gcc/arm-linux-androideabi/4.6/../../../../arm-linux-androideabi/bin/ld: error: cannot find -ldca collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[1]: *** [obj/local/armeabi-v7a/libvlcjni.so] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/vmg/workspace/android/android/vlc-android' make: *** [vlc-android/obj/local/armeabi-v7a/libvlcjni.so] Error 2 rm android-libs/libmedia.c android-libs/libutils.c android-libs/libstagefright.c android-libs/libbinder.c

Thus, the applicacion doesn't run correctly.

You do not compile like this ('gcc libvlcjni.c"), because it is trying to invoke host GCC for a cross compile, which makes no sense.

You must use Makefiles to build VLC for Android, as it is the only way that all the variables needed are set correctly.
