In order to make things easier, sometime ago I’ve prepared special Kit, which should make process of preparing. In the next sections, I will try to step-by-step explain how to build FFmpeg for Android, but, first of all, I would like to present developed by me Kit that should make this process much easier. so files for all architectures, that application might need. It wasn’t easy to pull everything together, but at the end I managed to build all necessary. Like shooting fish in a barrel!”, - thought me.įor the next two weeks I was fighting with NDK, with FFmpeg’s configure, with linking and other stuff. “Well, now all we need is to build FFmpeg and link it to the application.
