Android Can xbmc-android be compiled for MIPS?

hi everybody,
Can xbmc-android be compiled for MIPS?

under xbmc-android/tools/android/depends, I specify '--with-cpu=mips' when doing configure:
# ./configure --with-sdk=/home/zhanghui/opt/android-sdk --with-ndk=/home/zhanghui/opt/android-ndk --with-toolchain=/home/zhanghui/opt/android-toolchain/android-9 --with-tarballs=/home/zhanghui/opt/xbmc-android-tarballs --with-cpu=mips
and it succeeds.

After than, I do 'make', it reports error:
......
make -C libtool
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/zhanghui/project/xbmc-android/tools/android/depends/libtool'
rm -rf mips-native/*; mkdir -p mips-native
/bin/tar -C mips-native --strip-components=1 -xf /home/zhanghui/opt/xbmc-android-tarballs/libtool-2.2.6a.tar.gz
/bin/tar: This does not look like a tar archive

gzip: stdin: not in gzip format
/bin/tar: Child returned status 1
/bin/tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
make[1]: *** [mips-native] Error 2

Now xmbc-android maybe cannot be built for mips, since r7-crystax NDK doesn't support mips toolchain for the moment.

and the errors above are not releated to arch, maybe due to the file corruption of libtool-2.2.6a.tar.gz.

thanks for paying attention to this.

For a mips build i think we need to wait for the crystax version based on ndk-r8, it should be avalible at anytime now.

yes, according to http://www.crystax.net/trac/ndk/ticket/74#, "r8-crystax-1 release is on final testing stage now. Expect it soon, in few weeks".
just waiting for it Smile

BTW, you where getting the staging tools when you attempted to build using the regular ndk-r8? i think i missed something in the toolchain...

I did not pay special attention to "the staging tools", I just download the regular ndk-r8, and setup something like "build-target" to mips.
