How to solve libx264 not found when building ffmpeg-with-libx264-enabled for android?

Question

i am trying build android-ffmpeg-x264 downloaded from git. Link https://github.com/halfninja/android-ffmpeg-x264

After running ./config_make_everything.sh i am getting following error

ERROR: libx264 not found

If you think configure made a mistake, make sure you are using the latest version from Git. If the latest version fails, report the problem to the [email protected] mailing list or IRC #ffmpeg on irc.freenode.net. Include the log file "config.log" produced by configure as this will help solving the problem.

1.I am using fedora to build both ffmpeg and x264 2.NDK r7

Any solution to successfully build the code?

Answer 1

I have not yet confirmed this personally but I believe you can solve this if you downgrade the NDK to r5c. Remember to recreate the toolchain.
