After struggling with the PPA and apt-get install patch, finally i succeed in ./configure and no more issue found.
Then, building/compiling is more weird and error is found like this:

it seems that the libxbmc.so is not working and we missed certain library. anyone who give me some advices to pull me out of here.
thanks~

the ./configure is all right so i did not post the config.log in the thread.

post your configure line

I follow the guide of README.android and the config is as follows,

Code:
cd $HOME/xbmc-android/tools/android/depends

   ./bootstrap

   ./configure --with-sdk=/skynj/srtdev/android-sdk-linux \

               --with-toolchain=/skynj/srtdev/toolChains/android-14 \

               --with-ndk=/skynj/srtdev/toolChains/android-ndk-r7 \

               --with-tarballs=/home/luyanqing/xbmc-android

   make -j20

   cd $HOME/xbmc-android

   make -C tools/android/depends/xbmc

And you are definitly using the crystax NDK? And you are sure that make -j20 in depends got through the first time? (sometimes it has issues with parallel build which leads to uncomplete built dependencies). It should have stated something like "All Dependencies built successfully" or so.

Try to compile the code updated today, with --enable-player=amlplayer --enable-openmax flags in tools/android/depends/xbmc/Makefile. same steps as denisyq. Missing the OMX_Core.h, following is the log, anyone has idea? Thanks for advice

make -C tools/android/depends/android-sys

note: --enable-player=amlplayer --enable-openmax is a futile effort Smile

aml boxes don't have a working omx which is why amlplayer was born.

rere34lm · 2012-07-31, 18:15

Thanks davila. So is that means I have to stick with --enable-player=amlplayer if I want hw video at this stage before a working omx module can take place?

davilla · 2012-07-31, 18:23

@rere34lm, amlplayer only works on aml devices and specific ones at that, thus the 'aml' prefix Smile

openmax was injected to get more dev eyes on it, it's not very functional right now. unless you plan to help dev openmax, I'd stay away from it.

rere34lm · 2012-07-31, 18:37

Thanks for make it clear.

I have a similiar problem, the compilation exits just like the OPs when I try to build the apk.
However - I cleaned out the dependencies (make clean) and ran it again using only a single job.
This is what I end up with at the end:

Code:
yasm.o: In function `do_assemble':

yasm.c:(.text+0x5c5): undefined reference to `libintl_gettext'

yasm.c:(.text+0x5d2): undefined reference to `libintl_gettext'

yasm.c:(.text+0x5f3): undefined reference to `libintl_gettext'

yasm.c:(.text+0x629): undefined reference to `libintl_gettext'

yasm.o:yasm.c:(.text+0x636): more undefined references to `libintl_gettext' follow

yasm.o: In function `main':

yasm.o:yasm.c:(.text+0x105e): more undefined references to `libintl_gettext' follow

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

make[4]: *** [yasm] Error 1

make[4]: Leaving directory `/opt/xbmc_android/xbmc-source-android/tools/android/depends/yasm/armeabi-v7a-native'

make[1]: Leaving directory `/opt/xbmc_android/xbmc-source-android/tools/android/depends/yasm'

make: *** [yasm] Error 2

So, I suspect something fails at the compilation of the dependencies Wink

I noticed a lot of gettext related errors in the compilation of the apk as well... ist that the culprit here? I have gettext-runtime in version 0.18.1 installed on my debian-system
Any tipps on a fix for this?

For anyone running into this problem, I was able to solve it by editing the makefiles (at least I think I solved it since it is still compiling (I only ran a single job)):
1. Makefile
2. Makefile.in
3. Makefile.include

In files 1 & 2 I replaced "gettext-native" with "gettext" (the BuildTools line).
In file 3 I edited the path for "XBMCPREFIX", because it included a double-slash. So I changed it from

Code:
=/opt/xbmc_android/android-toolchain/android-9//staging

to

Code:
=/opt/xbmc_android/android-toolchain/android-9/staging

I suspect that that is the reasons for the build failing rather then replacing "gettext-native" with "gettext".

yeah, i am definitely using the crystax NDK as the guide said. but i did not get the "All Dependencies built successfully " statements as i run make -j20.
NO errors shows after make -j20 and i suppose it is all right.
does my version of ubuntu (10.04) make any effort?

That is to be expected - since you run it in 20 jobs, the probability is high that you'll miss the errors a long the build.
Try running with a single job, you then can see the errors.
I suspect that the dependencies in your case didn't build all the way through (just like my case).

For reference:
I had another problem with the compilation as "afpfs-ng" was being built. The output told me that "rm" and "mkdir" are missing. I changed the PATH-value in the makefile and added my /bin folder to it. It's still running at this point, so I hope it'll complete this time around (again - only one job does make things slooooooooooow)

Edit:
So, my dependencies went through fine as it seems. XBMC is compiling right now, bootstrap and configure were successfull.
Sidenote:
I had to manually install "gperf" on my system since it wasn't installed, but was expected to be there. Installing it solved the problem and as said - the compilation runs now. Will add if I was able to successfully build the apk.

I use android-14 for the toolchain and the original makefile/makefile.in/makefile.include is found as the same as yours (after modified). So i suppose it is not the issue. Cool

HenryFord · 2012-08-02, 10:11

Did you try with a single job in order to actually see error messages when they pop up?

My build just completed successfully...
