Hello all,

Today I am trying to build on 32 bit Ubuntu 12.04 using NDK r9b and tool chain arm-linux-androideabi-4.8.

I have built the dependencies according to 5.1 of the read me. I am now trying to run the following command from 5.2 of the readme.

make -C tools/depends/target/xbmc

I get the following error.

checking for main in -lavahi-client... yes
checking for embedded_mDNSInit in -lmDNSEmbedded... no
configure: == Could not find mDNSEmbedded. Might prevent zeroconf support. ==
configure: == X11 enabled. ==
checking for X11... no
configure: error: Could not find a required library. Please see the README for your platform.
make: *** [../../../..//libxbmc.so] Error 1
make: Leaving directory `/home/adev/xbmc-android/tools/depends/target/xbmc'

Can someone tell me what package provides embedded_mDNSInit? I have tried searching with apt-file and haven't had any luck with this one.

I have also added the PPA from this page https://launchpad.net/~team-xbmc/+archiv...ld-depends and it seems I am missing a package needed to build XBMC for android.

Thanks,
rdg

make -C tools/depends/target/mdnsresponder

sounds like the depends make didn't run through ... do "cd tools/depends && make" and ensure that it really ends with "built dependencies successfully".

I tried to run make again from the tools/depends directory as you suggested.

Now I am getting the following error.

[ -f /home/adev/opt/xbmc-deps/i686-linux-gnu/lib/pkgconfig/x11.pc ] || ln -s /usr/lib/i686-linux-gnu/pkgconfig/x11.pc /home/adev/opt/xbmc-deps/i686-linux-gnu/lib/pkgconfig/x11.pc
ln: failed to create symbolic link `/home/adev/opt/xbmc-deps/i686-linux-gnu/lib/pkgconfig/x11.pc': File exists

make: *** [target/.installed-i686-linux-gnu] Error 2
adev@ubuntu-precise-32:~/xbmc-android/tools/depends$

It looks like the link command is failing. I notice that I do not have a /usr/lib/i686-linux-gnu directory. Instead I have an /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu directory.

Did I run the wrong configure command?

Here is the configure command I ran:

./configure --with-toolchain=/home/adev/opt/arm-linux-androideabi-4.8 --prefix=/home/adev/opt/xbmc-deps --host=i686-linux-gnu

Thanks,
rdg

I tried the configure command again and it looks like i386-linux-gnu is unsupported:

adev@ubuntu-precise-32:~/xbmc-android/tools/depends$ ./configure --with-toolchain=/home/adev/opt/arm-linux-androideabi-4.8 --prefix=/home/adev/opt/xbmc-deps --host=i386-linux-gnu
configure: WARNING: if you wanted to set the --build type, don't use --host.

[Memphiz]

You are missing alot from the configure line. SEE tools/depends/README for an example of what is needed for configuring depends for android. Then start again from scratch - following tools/depends/README and docs/README.android as good as possible.

[rmcore]

Memphiz,

Thanks for your reply. I have tried again using the following configure line.

./configure --with-toolchain=/home/adev/opt/arm-linux-androideabi-4.8/android-14 --prefix=/home/adev/opt/xbmc-deps --host=arm-linux-androideabi --with-sdk-path=/home/adev/opt/adt-bundle-linux-x86-20131030/sdk --with-ndk=/home/adev/opt/android-ndk-r9b --with-sdk=android-14 --with-tarballs=/tmp/xbmc-android

The dependencies build:

make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/adev/xbmc-android/tools/depends/target/xbmc-pvr-addons'
touch .installed-arm-linux-androideabi-android-14
Dependencies built successfully.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/adev/xbmc-android/tools/depends/target'
adev@ubuntu-precise-32:~/xbmc-android/tools/depends$

However, now there is a compiler error. Do you think this is a problem in my configuration or is it a real compile problem?

Hi rmcore,

I'm with the same problem that u.
My Error

You resolved your error ?

[Memphiz]

Thanks Memphiz

Im getting this very error trying to compile from master today,, but Im not on Android, Im on x86 Linux side and seems to me this isnt a Linux library but rather an android one.
In any case I NEVER needed this before.

@wsnipex is compiling from master broken atm? All that reshuffle it looks broken to me

EGL? seriously? Dependency nightmare, whats going on?

Maybe related? https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/8467 or https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/8486


I see egl added in videoplayer, but no dependencies added to readme, whats the deal for NVIDIA now is this going the way of intel also?... idk... help?

[wsnipex]

nothing to do with mdns:

Code:

No package 'egl' found

you need libegl1-mesa-dev

edit: you shouldn't need this for nvidia only, did you try disabling vaapi already?

[un1versal]

Yes vaapi is explicitly disabled its has always been.

I did install that dependency last night and managed to compile, but if you say I dont need it for nvidia then something is borked somewhere.

Also.... The readmes need updating in any case to add libegl1-mesa-dev and remove the other mesa-gl from readmes, but not sure which, theres a few on readme linux and one on readme ubuntu
Ill be happy to make a pr, if you be kind enough to tell me what needs removing when I open PR..

[wsnipex]

seems egl is needed for nvidia as well
