[FFmpeg-user] FFmpeg /x264 building for Android

[Mehmet Kerim Yücel]

I also would like to add the following scripts and the errors I have encountered.

Script I am using is as follows.
NDK=~/Android_NDK_r7b
PLATFORM=$NDK/platforms/android-8/arch-arm/
PREBUILT=$NDK/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.4.3/prebuilt/linux-x86
x264=/usr/local
#x264v2=~/x264
function build_one
{

    --prefix=$PREFIX \

}

OPTIMIZE_CFLAGS="-mfloat-abi=softfp -mfpu=vfpv3-d16 -marm -march=$CPU "
PREFIX=./androidIncludeTrialsNDK7/$CPU
ADDITIONAL_CONFIGURE_FLAG=
build_one

If I basically delete the lines extracf and extrald flags and use  other ones (commented outs), it works fine except libx264 not found error. I obtain these in terminal.
./buildnew.sh: line 35: --extra-cflags=-I/usr/local/include: No such file or directory
./buildnew.sh: line 38: --extra-ldflags=-L/usr/local/lib: No such file or directory
./buildnew.sh: line 40: --disable-everything: command not found
./buildnew.sh: line 44: --enable-gpl: command not found


The compilation process ends with the following.
make: *** [libavdevice/v4l.o] Error 1
make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
/home/mehmet/Android_NDK_r7b/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.4.3/prebuilt/linux-x86/bin/arm-linux-androideabi-ar: creating libavcodec/libavcodec.a
/home/mehmet/Android_NDK_r7b/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.4.3/prebuilt/linux-x86/bin/arm-linux-androideabi-ld: cannot open output file ./androidIncludeTrialsNDK7/armv7-a/libffmpeg.so: No such file or directory


  I have x264 installed in my directory /home/mehmet/x264 and I also check whereis x264.a, it shows me as /usr/local/lib.  I have tried changing the path $x264 to point out to home/mehmet/x264 folder, but I get the same error. 

Lastly, if I enable both extracf and extrald flags. I get the same error mentioned above. I am afraid I am doing a simple typo here, but can`t see it and it is driving me crazy. Thanks a lot for your help.

Best.

Subject: [FFmpeg-user] FFmpeg /x264 building for Android
 
Hello everybody,

I have few questions, please keep in mind that I am a beginner at this and sorry if my questions are simple ones.


I have been trying to build ffmpeg for Android lately and encountered few problems. I have been using this tutorial ( http://www.roman10.net/how-to-build-ffmpeg-for-android/ ) and managed to build ffmpeg. I wanted to include libx264 and found out that I had to compile libx264 seperately, which I did as well.

I am trying to include libx264.a static library to ffmpeg build. I know that I have to change extracf and extrald flags( so that ffmpeg can include libx264 static library)  while configuring ffmpeg, but I don't know exactly how.  Any help might be really helpful.

My last question is related to size of libffmpeg.so shared library. I have used the versions of NDK and ffmpeg in aforementioned tutorial link and libffmeg.so's size was around 6mb. I have tried the same script for different NDK and ffmpeg versions, such as NDK 7 ffmpeg 0.10.4 and obtained the file size as 3mb. What does that mean? Is this a problem? Static libraries and include files are same as tutorial's case (NDK 5b and Love version of ffmpeg). 

Thanks in advance for the answers.

Best,
