Compiling FFmpeg : libx264 not found

I hope some one helps me the solve this problems. I was trying to compile FFmpeg 2.2.3 library under ubuntu 12.04LTS for android using android ndk r10e by following this tutorials:

Tutorial1

Tutorial2

here is my build_android.sh file:

#!/bin/bash
NDK=/home/rango/Desktop/android-ndk-r10e
SYSROOT=$NDK/platforms/android-19/arch-arm/
TOOLCHAIN=$NDK/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.8/prebuilt/linux-x86

#ADDI_LDFLAGS="-L /usr/local/lib"
#ADDI_CFLAGS="-I /usr/include"

function build_one
{
./configure \

--arch=arm \
--enable-cross-compile \
--sysroot=$SYSROOT \
--extra-cflags="-Os -fpic -marm $ADDI_CFLAGS" \
--extra-ldflags="$ADDI_LDFLAGS" \

make clean
make -j4
make install
}

CPU=arm
PREFIX=$(pwd)/android/$CPU

build_one

when i execute buid_android.sh script without --enable-libx264 \ line everything is going well and i can get .a files on android/arm/ folder. but with this line it fails and show the following error in the console:

ERROR: libx264 not found

If you think configure made a mistake, make sure you are using the latest version from Git. If the latest version fails, report the problem to the ffmpeg-user@ffmpeg.org mailing list or IRC #ffmpeg on irc.freenode.net. Include the log file "config.log" produced by configure as this will help

it seems like it can't find where the libraries are, as i get a lot of the following errors in config.log file:

"LIBNAME".h: No such file or directory newlib.h: No such file or directory mingw.h: No such file or directory x264.h: No such file or directory

Here is the tail of config.log file:

回答1:

Theoretically to build FFmpeg for Android with libx264 support you need to go through these steps:

1) Build libx264 for Android. Now you haven't any built libx264, that's why you get above error.

2) Change your buid_android.sh and add additional options to configure (--extra-cflags and --extra-ldflags) to specify paths to include and lib directories of libx264 which was built on step 1.

3) Run modified build_android.sh.

Unfortunately, I haven't built libx264 for Android. But I assume that there're ways to do it...

回答2:

Ok here is what i did to get to compile correctly. as Edgar mentioned i should have compiled libx264 library for android using the NDK compiler. i used this script to get it done.

#!/bin/bash

NDK=(path to android ndk)/android-ndk-r10e
SYSROOT=$NDK/platforms/android-19/arch-arm/
TOOLCHAIN=$NDK/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.8/prebuilt/linux-x86



./configure --cross-prefix=$TOOLCHAIN/bin/arm-linux-androideabi- \
--sysroot=$SYSROOT \
--enable-static \
--enable-pic \
--enable-static \
--disable-cli \
--disable-asm \
--extra-cflags="-fPIE -pie" \
--extra-ldflags="-fPIE -pie" \
--host=arm-linux

make
sudo make install
sudo ldconfig
