//EDIT save time and refer to the SF project . IMO, it may save a ton of work getting up to speed…..
after more work on this issue:
added a git project
build is easier with custom toolchain installed so that you can invoke compiler the easy way
sample stdout from ndk-build
—
originally used ubuntu 12.04 inside vmplayer on windows vista. IMO linux is better for builds than cygwin.
I follow these instructions getting a indeterminant outcome in which the following conditions exist.
build_android.sh seems to exit normally
config.log has error where confirming gcc from crosstoolchain
all the static libs are built ok
(./libavfilter, ./libavcodec etc )
ffmpeg.o is there and executes ok
no ./android directory as per the prefix setting to config
it looks like i can just push the binaries to my phone and test in a shell. If that’s ok then i can look to a jni wrapper for the static libs.
But why didn’t the build write anything to –prefix=./android/armv7-a ??
that path does not exist at the conclusion of the build

The “not found” error isn’t indicating that arm-linux-androideabi-gcc isn’t found, that error is being returned from arm-linux-androideabi-gcc, most likely because of an erroneous flag. Since your –cross-prefix is set correctly you can remove the –cc and –nm lines. If you alter the cross-prefix slightly (take the – off the end for instance) you’ll see that the not found error will change to a less ambiguous one.
Try getting rid of everything but “-DANDROID -mfloat-abi=softfp -marm -march=armv7-a” in your extra cflags, and remove the crazy extra quotation marks and see if it compiles.
