I try to build VLC for Android according to this manual: https://wiki.videolan.org/AndroidCompile/ but I have failed something. I newbie in Linux, so I don't understand what is going wrong. I'm using latest Android SDK and NDK r14b (with latest r15b scrip failed too, but with a different error about can't find some .py script).

kage@kage-VirtualBox:~/Android/vlc/vlc-android$ ./compile.sh
*** No ANDROID_ABI defined architecture: using ARMv7

  • Try `which yasm` to see if its on-path. If its not on-path, then maybe try `./compile.sh --help`. It may tell you to do something like `YASM=/path/to/yasm`. – jww Jul 14 '17 at 17:23
  • Hi, the error does not seem to relate to yasm, it relate to `Syntax error: ")" unexpected` , not very informative, anyway I was able to compile with android-ndk-r13b – dafnahaktana Aug 16 '17 at 23:18
  • Hi! I resolved this issue with using Ubuntu x64 against Ubuntu x32 in VirtualBox. But I catch another problem with protobuf after 15 min of compile time. So I give up after several attempts. Need to try with ndk-r13b, I think. – Volodymyr Riznyk Aug 17 '17 at 23:58
