I am trying to compile vlc for android in RHEL 6.4 (Santiago). I am following the instructions given in this page https://wiki.videolan.org/AndroidCompile. I am getting some errors.
First is when I build this, I get error in git.
error: unknown switch `B'. refer http://txt.do/6tjh for log
I changed the git checkout -B android ${TESTED_HASH} to git checkout -b android ${TESTED_HASH}. Then this error does not come
Then when I run sh compile.sh, I get following errors (refer http://tny.cz/bb552912 I have removed some part of log which had code to download packages like automake, protobuf, ragel etc)
rmdir: failed to remove /root/Documents/android/android/vlc/contrib/arm-linux-androideabi/include/freetype2/freetype/config': No such file or directory
make[1]: [install] Error 1 (ignored)
rmdir: failed to remove `/root/Documents/android/android/vlc/contrib/arm-linux-androideabi/include/freetype2/freetype': No such file or directory
make[1]: [install] Error 1 (ignored)
Then if I again run sh compile.sh, weird things happen. I don't get this error again, but it builds some library and then stops.
First it build libdvdcss and then stops (refer http://tny.cz/5f3ab58f) It ends like
Libraries have been installed in: /root/Documents/android/android/vlc/contrib/arm-linux-androideabi/lib
If you ever happen to want to link against installed libraries in a given directory, LIBDIR, you must either use libtool, and specify the full pathname of the library, or use the `-LLIBDIR' flag during linking and do at least one of the following:
add LIBDIR to the `LD_LIBRARY_PATH' environment variable during execution
add LIBDIR to the `LD_RUN_PATH' environment variable during linking
- use the `-Wl,-rpath -Wl,LIBDIR' linker flag
- have your system administrator add LIBDIR to `/etc/ld.so.conf'
make[2]: Leaving directory `/root/Documents/android/android/vlc/contrib/contrib-android-arm-linux-androideabi/dvdcss'
make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/Documents/android/android/vlc/contrib/contrib-android-arm-linux-androideabi/dvdcss'
touch .dvdcss
Then each time I run "sh compile.sh" it build one more library and then stops. it has build following libraries
- libopenjpeg (http://tny.cz/86236e8b)
- libgpg-error http://tny.cz/26c5626b)
- ffmpeg (http://tny.cz/1f05aa0f)
- gmp
- libgcrypt
- iconv
- nettle
- libjpeg
Finally I get an following error and I am not able to do any after that (http://tny.cz/ed7798ea)
autopoint: * The AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION declaration in your configure.ac file requires the infrastructure from gettext-0.18 but this version is older. Please upgrade to gettext-0.18 or newer.
autopoint: * Stop.
autoreconf: autopoint failed with exit status: 1
configure.in:20: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_PROG_LIBTOOL
If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
See the Autoconf documentation.
autoreconf: /root/Documents/android/android/vlc/extras/tools/build/bin/autoconf failed with exit status: 1 make: *[.ogg] Error 1
I am not able to find gettext package with version > .18 for RHEL 6.4. Maximum available is .17 which is installed
- Is not this weird. Should not doing "sh compile.sh" build all libraries and I should not have to do this again and again.
- Also Is RHEL 6.4 (Santiago) compatible for building vlc android
- Any help for these errors
