I want to compile ffmpeg on windows with cygwin and android ndk. I found this link very useful because there is step to step guide to compile ffmpeg.

Does anyone find this useful? - Compiling FFMPEG on Windows with Cywin and NDK r5

But at last point when i am going to create .so file i got this error in cygwin bash.

CONSOLE OUTPUT:

vikram mahal@vikrammahal-PC ~
$ cd /cygdrive/c/ffmpeg-0.10.3
vikram mahal@vikrammahal-PC /cygdrive/c/ffmpeg-0.10.3

1] ./configure: line 14: syntax error near unexpected token `$'{\r''

To resolve this, create a backup copy of build_android.sh and run

$dos2unix build_android_backup.sh
$sh build_android_backup.sh

2] ./build_android.sh: line 54: make: command not found

to resolve the above error check if you have install 'make' program while installing Cygwin

  • Hi, earlier i haven't installed make in cygwin but now i installed make in it and now i get this error. – Vikram Mahal Mar 28 '13 at 07:05
  • can you run "make --version" (without quotes) and verify that make is installed in cygwin? – asloob Mar 28 '13 at 07:12
  • WHEN I RUN MAKE I GOT THIS ERROR:-Makefile:2: config.mak: No such file or directory Makefile:45: /common.mak: No such file or directory Makefile:84: /libavutil/Makefile: No such file or directory Makefile:84: /library.mak: No such file or directory Makefile:161: /doc/Makefile: No such file or directory Makefile:162: /tests/Makefile: No such file or directory MAKE: *** No rule to make target `/tests/Makefile'. Stop. – Vikram Mahal Mar 28 '13 at 07:15
  • I think there is something wrong with your make installation. Try to resolve this separtaly and then try to build ffmpeg. – asloob Mar 28 '13 at 07:20
  • when i installed make from setup then i only select - make-the gnu version of 'make' utility and make depend- X.org makefile dependency tool. so, is there anything else also to be installed with this. – Vikram Mahal Mar 28 '13 at 07:28
