I am using different branches of the android code base.

When I do a git checkout <branch name> and then type make, I get the following message:

Configuration is stale. You should almost certainly reconfigure

What does it mean to "reconfigure"? Reconfigure does not appear to be a make target.

Thanks.

See bootstrap.mk. It means "configure.in" is more recent than "configure", so there is a good chance you need to re-run configure.
In the android case, you should re-do the "make -C tools/depends/target/xbmc", unless you know what you're doing.

Koying,

Thanks.

you should also be doing a 'make clean' before switching branches to avoid stale objects.
