I'm trying to build apk for android-14 in Ubuntu 64bit system and for x86 architecture. I follow README.android in the Kodi doc. I'm stuck in step 5.2 that is Building kodi . When i run 'make -C tools/depends/target/xbmc' i got following error

checking whether the C compiler works... no
configure: error: in `/home/../Downloads/xbmc-kodi-android':
configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details
make: *** [../../../..//libkodi.so] Error 77

and this the full output that i got...

how can i fix this error ?

If GGC exists but can't create executables then it probably is a permission problem. Also, you're trying to build XBMC itself so I'm assuming you already successfully compiled all dependencies (which should mean your GCC works).

Can you check the owner and permissions for the targer directory? (/home/nuwan600/Downloads/xbmc-kodi-android)
Should be owned by your user and not root.

Perhaps you did something with sudo that you shouldn't have.

So cool when you search on Google and you find someone having the same problem as you and you see "Thanks everybody I solve the problem" without giving the solution or any explanation. Like you ask others to help you, but you don't need to help others :-)
