Question

The following is the output for issuing init-submodules.sh. I keep receiving this

error:fatal error:
    Unable to checkout '15e02184e136e47ecff01bf56aca
    The49d8e2646fb4' in submodule path 'Project/jni/ffmpeg'<br>

Has anyone run jhotovy’s version of halfninja’s code successfully so far? Any help in resolving this issue will be greatly appreciated

My screen output:

I have successfully run the original halfninja version which is also at githuib.com/halfninja/android-ffmpeg-x264.<br> I have searched all over the Internet and i am not finding any reference to this issue. Anyone had any success with that implementation

Answer 1

try this version

i did it again today ( cloned jhotovy android-ffmpeg ) and ffmpeg submodule was not included in the pull for init_submodule.sh.

go to the orig project on git to get the ‘ffmpeg’ directory ( see halfninja ) and drop everything else , merging ‘ffmpeg’ into the jhotovy file structure.

that should work ok

–build details–

• make sure that your build env is good for cross toolchains being
  employed ( NDK/ ant / android SDK )
• make sure that u have synched your NDK to the appropriate ENV vars in the build scripts in the jni directory
• clone ‘hotovy’ for the additions ogg/vorbis/theora
• clone ‘halfninja’ to get the aborted ‘ffmpeg’ submodule no longer handled
  by above
• merge ./Project/jni/ffmpeg from ‘halfninja’ into ‘hotovy’ version of ./Proj/jni/ffmpeg
• cd to ‘hotovy’ ./Proj/jni and run ‘config_make_everything.sh’
• check output from above, stay in jni dir
• and run ‘ $NDK/ndk-build V=1 -B’ checking output

You should now have good native libs for ‘ffmpeg’ and for ‘videokit’ in .Project/libs/arm directory.

To get the .apk , i would hook up ant/android to the project by issuing an ‘update’ command like

android create project -n ffmpegtst -t 1 -p ffmpegtst -k com.b2bpo.media.ffmpeg.test -a RecordActivity  

you will have to read about managing projects from the commandline in developer.android.

when u get ant hooked up, cd to Project directory and run

ant debug

u should get the apk in ./Project/bin directory
