I am a newbie and trying to builf the xbmc on android.

I am using:

android-ndk-r8-crystax-1-linux-x86_64.tar.bz2
xbmc-12.2.tar.gz
and the latest android sdk

I followed the readme instructions to the T with a configure of:

./configure --with-ndk=/home/jerry/crystax_android_ndk/android-ndk-r8-crystax-1 --with-sdk=/home/jerry/Desktop/adt-bundle-linux-x86_64-20130729/sdk --with-toolchain=/home/jerry/crystax_android_ndk/android-9 --with-tarballs=/home/jerry/xbmc-tarballs --prefix=/home/jerry/Desktop/xbmc-12.2/tools/android/depends --host=arm-linux-androideabi

And I get to the point where I build from the xbmc directory (make -C tools/android/depends/xbmc).

I get an error concerning boost

do you know why this is happening?

did you actually make depends ?

I copied the depends folder from the stable download, xbmc-12.2.tar.gz, since Git did not seem to have it.

Also I get the following errors during "make -j12",

Update:

I found that I had an old readme.android and the depends folder was moved. I built this one and still get the same error

It also seems as if the documentation switches between the android-9 and android-14 platforms. However, both give the same error.

you need to actually build make -C tools/depends

cat tools/depends/README

then

make


'make -C tools/android/depends/xbmc' is old. as is xbmc-12.2.tar.gz. Build from mainline

I face the same problem ,who can help me? thanks a lot ,the following is error log:
