I’m trying to compile vlc using the following instructions http://wiki.videolan.org/AndroidCompile.
i get the vlc source using git but when i’m doing the next command:
cd extras/contrib
./bootstrap -t arm-eabi -d android
i’m getting this error:
[contrib] No install dir specified, using '/android-sdk-mac_x86/vlc-android/extras/contrib/hosts/arm-eabi'

when i make the next step that is ‘make’ i got the following failure;
make -C build-src tools

Given prior Linux CLI experience, the best I can tell you is that it doesn’t look like your tool-chain is fully initialized and needs some setup. Below is a link that documents initialization for a MAC build environment:
