Im trying to compile an modified kodi with mfc-hwdecoder for android and running in this error:

RE: Compiling Error "C compiler cannot create executables" - Memphiz - 2015-06-08

Your configure line for depends is wrong. Not sure if you want to build for android-x86 or android-arm. Those are the corresponding lines from our jenkins buildserver (you need to adapt this with your pathes obviously):

for arm:

Code:
./configure --with-tarballs=/home/jenkins/xbmc-tarballs --host=arm-linux-androideabi --with-sdk-path=/home/jenkins/android-dev/android-sdk-linux --with-ndk=/home/jenkins/android-dev//android-ndk-r10d --with-sdk=android-17 --with-toolchain=/home/jenkins/android-dev//android-toolchain-arm-17-r10d --prefix=/home/jenkins/workspace/Android-ARM/tools/depends/xbmc-depends --enable-neon

for x86:

Code:
./configure --with-tarballs=/home/jenkins/xbmc-tarballs --host=i686-linux-android --with-sdk-path=/home/jenkins/android-dev/android-sdk-linux --with-ndk=/home/jenkins/android-dev//android-ndk-r10d --with-sdk=android-17 --with-toolchain=/home/jenkins/android-dev//android-toolchain-x86-17-r10d --prefix=/home/jenkins/workspace/Android-X86/tools/depends/xbmc-depends

You are missing the --host and --with-sdk options on yours at the least.

RE: Compiling Error "C compiler cannot create executables" - wsnipex - 2015-06-08

and

Quote:./configure --host=arm-linux-androidabi ...

means you are configuring for ARM, but you don't have an arm toolchain installed.

I'm having similar problems. Below is my setup for the toolchain, my build process and config.log and the tail end of my log file but can provide the entire log file if interested.

Use pastebin.com for the log and remove it from the forum

RE: Compiling Error "C compiler cannot create executables" - spart - 2016-06-30

Any chance you might know why the master branch seems to be having these problems? Let me know if you come up with any good ideas Martijn. Smile

RE: Compiling Error "C compiler cannot create executables" - wsnipex - 2016-06-30

kodi doesn't see your toolchain at all. Make sure paths are correct are the ndk is working

RE: Compiling Error "C compiler cannot create executables" - spart - 2016-06-30

You're right, I've updated my build script above in my original post to the correct path, missing a forward slash. The NDK does seem to be working since I'm able to create a toolchain. Thank you.

By the way, how did you know it was the toolchain that was causing issues? Were you able to see something wrong with the toolchain from the config.log? The reason I ask is because it was an issue which was not apparent to me.

I am now getting a fatal error due to localealias.c but was wondering if this has been a known issue or what you would recommend: compiling kodi for android using xbmc-master. What operating system would you recommend? I'm running what is recommended on the readme but I'm using kodi master with the latest sdk and ndk.

./localealias.c:31:24: fatal error: stdio_ext.h: No such file or directory

tail end from the console

my console.log

tail end of my log file
http://pastebin.com/4aqyeSpa

Thank you for all your help. If I can get this to build I think I may save countless others some time by updating the compilation notes that way they are up to date. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you. Smile

Compiling Error "C compiler cannot create executables" - Memphiz - 2016-06-30

Have a look into docs/README.android - i doubt it states that you should use ndk r12 ...

RE: Compiling Error "C compiler cannot create executables" - Martijn - 2016-06-30

r12 also had big changes and we don't use platform-24 yet. So RTFM Smile

If you do get it to work please tell us how and send the code changes.

RE: Compiling Error "C compiler cannot create executables" - spart - 2016-07-01

from README.ANDROID
[NOTICE] Compiling Kodi for Android requires Android NDK
Revision at least 10e. For the SDK just use the latest available.
It will work.

I'm trying to get it to work with correctly with kodi and would not mind supplying any changes I've made.

RE: Compiling Error "C compiler cannot create executables" - MrMC - 2016-07-01

MrMC is at android-ndk-r11b with android-21

The _OFF_T_DEFINED_ trick for SMB vanished and has to be put back

You might browse the mrmc github for other changes in depends and elsewhere.

When we move to android-ndk-r12, we will also be switching to clang.

RE: Compiling Error "C compiler cannot create executables" - spart - 2016-07-01

Yes, I noticed clang being moved to in the more recent versions. A couple of concerns I have is why hasn't kodi been updated to handle the latest ndk, sdk, and jdk? They all seem to be interconnected.

Another questions, if you look at the android.jar MANIFEST.MF file created in the sdk for platform 17 you will notice they were Created-By: 1.6.0_45 (Sun Microsystems Inc.): I mention this because the kodi instructions use open jdk( in theory shouldn't make a huge difference) but I would imagine using the same jdk to do what you want it do for the ndk, sdk, and kodi would make a lot of sense. I have nothing against the openJDK effort in fact it has some very advanced features from a JDK perspective which are not in the oracle JDK. That being the case I would think that it would be a wise idea to have a build which could work with the latest ndk, sdk, and kodi: while using the preferred JDK for all three. Most of those platforms including the jdk have made significant improvements from a performance perspective. The latest SDK recommends using the oracle JDK 8.

RE: Compiling Error "C compiler cannot create executables" - Martijn - 2016-07-01

The simple reason is time. So if you are willing to do some work on it we would be very grateful if you could send us the changes on github

RE: Compiling Error "C compiler cannot create executables" - spart - 2016-07-01

Okay, I'm willing to do this but may need some help. Also, the readme all specifies open jdk 6 for platform 17, has anyone gotten it to work with an oracle jdk?
