This is a updated post for a previous post, where we built ffmpeg 0.8 with Android NDK r5 and r6. This post will give instructions of how to build ffmpeg 2.0.1 with Android NDK r9.

0. Download Android NDK

The latest version of Android NDK can be downloaded at Android NDK website. At the time of writing, the newest version is NDK r9. Note that the website provides both current and legacy toolchains. We only need the current toolchain to compile ffmpeg.

After download NDK, simply decompress the archive. Note that we’ll use $NDK to represent the root path of the decompressed NDK.

1. Download ffmpeg source code

FFMPEG source code can be downloaded from the ffmpeg website. The latest stable release is 2.0.1. Download the source code and decompress it to $NDK/sources folder. We’ll discuss about the reason for doing this later.

2. Update configure file（这一步我并没有用到，可能是版本的问题）

Open ffmpeg-2.0.1/configure file with a text editor, and locate the following lines.

SLIBNAME_WITH_MAJOR='$(SLIBNAME).$(LIBMAJOR)'

LIB_INSTALL_EXTRA_CMD='$$(RANLIB) "$(LIBDIR)/$(LIBNAME)"'

SLIB_INSTALL_NAME='$(SLIBNAME_WITH_VERSION)'

SLIB_INSTALL_LINKS='$(SLIBNAME_WITH_MAJOR) $(SLIBNAME)'

This cause ffmpeg shared libraries to be compiled to libavcodec.so.<version> (e.g. libavcodec.so.55), which is not compatible with Android build system. Therefore we’ll need to replace the above lines with the following lines.

SLIBNAME_WITH_MAJOR='$(SLIBPREF)$(FULLNAME)-$(LIBMAJOR)$(SLIBSUF)'

LIB_INSTALL_EXTRA_CMD='$$(RANLIB) "$(LIBDIR)/$(LIBNAME)"'

SLIB_INSTALL_NAME='$(SLIBNAME_WITH_MAJOR)'

SLIB_INSTALL_LINKS='$(SLIBNAME)'

3. Build ffmpeg

Copy the following text to a text editor and save it as build_android.sh.

function build_one
{
./configure \
    --prefix=$PREFIX \
    --enable-shared \
    --disable-static \
    --disable-doc \
    --disable-ffmpeg \
    --disable-ffplay \
    --disable-ffprobe \
    --disable-ffserver \
    --disable-avdevice \
    --disable-doc \
    --disable-symver \
    --cross-prefix=$TOOLCHAIN/bin/arm-linux-androideabi- \
    --target-os=linux \
    --arch=arm \
    --enable-cross-compile \
    --sysroot=$SYSROOT \
    --extra-cflags="-Os -fpic $ADDI_CFLAGS" \
    --extra-ldflags="$ADDI_LDFLAGS" \
    $ADDITIONAL_CONFIGURE_FLAG
make clean
make
make install
}
CPU=arm
PREFIX=$(pwd)/android/$CPU 
ADDI_CFLAGS="-marm"
build_one

We disabled static library and enabled shared library. Note that the build script is not optimized for a particular CPU. One should refer to ffmpeg documentation for detailed information about available configure options.

Once the file is saved, make sure the script is executable by the command below,

sudo chmod +x build_android.sh

Then execute the script by the command,

./build_android.sh

4. Build Output

The build can take a while to finish depending on your computer speed. Once it’s done, you should be able to find a folder $NDK/sources/ffmpeg-2.0.1/android, which contains arm/lib and arm/include folders.

The arm/lib folder contains the shared libraries, while arm/include folder contains the header files for libavcodec, libavformat, libavfilter, libavutil, libswscale etc.

Note that the arm/lib folder contains both the library files (e.g.: libavcodec-55.so) and symbolic links (e.g.: libavcodec.so) to them. We can remove the symbolic links to avoid confusion.

5. Make ffmpeg Libraries available for Your Projects

Now we’ve compiled the ffmpeg libraries and ready to use them. Android NDK allows us to reuse a compiled module through the import-module build command.

The reason we built our ffmpeg source code under $NDK/sources folder is that NDK build system will search for directories under this path for external modules automatically. To declare the ffmpeg libraries as reusable modules, we’ll need to add a file named $NDK/sources/ffmpeg-2.0.1/android/arm/Android.mk with the following content,

include $(CLEAR_VARS)
LOCAL_MODULE:= libavcodec
LOCAL_SRC_FILES:= lib/libavcodec-55.so
LOCAL_EXPORT_C_INCLUDES := $(LOCAL_PATH)/include
include $(PREBUILT_SHARED_LIBRARY)
 
include $(CLEAR_VARS)
LOCAL_MODULE:= libavformat
LOCAL_SRC_FILES:= lib/libavformat-55.so
LOCAL_EXPORT_C_INCLUDES := $(LOCAL_PATH)/include
include $(PREBUILT_SHARED_LIBRARY)
 
include $(CLEAR_VARS)
LOCAL_MODULE:= libswscale
LOCAL_SRC_FILES:= lib/libswscale-2.so
LOCAL_EXPORT_C_INCLUDES := $(LOCAL_PATH)/include
include $(PREBUILT_SHARED_LIBRARY)
 
include $(CLEAR_VARS)
LOCAL_MODULE:= libavutil
LOCAL_SRC_FILES:= lib/libavutil-52.so
LOCAL_EXPORT_C_INCLUDES := $(LOCAL_PATH)/include
include $(PREBUILT_SHARED_LIBRARY)
 
include $(CLEAR_VARS)
LOCAL_MODULE:= libavfilter
LOCAL_SRC_FILES:= lib/libavfilter-3.so
LOCAL_EXPORT_C_INCLUDES := $(LOCAL_PATH)/include
include $(PREBUILT_SHARED_LIBRARY)
 
include $(CLEAR_VARS)
LOCAL_MODULE:= libwsresample
LOCAL_SRC_FILES:= lib/libswresample-0.so
LOCAL_EXPORT_C_INCLUDES := $(LOCAL_PATH)/include
include $(PREBUILT_SHARED_LIBRARY)

Below is an example of how we can use the libraries in a Android project’s jni/Android.mk file,

LOCAL_PATH := $(call my-dir)
 
include $(CLEAR_VARS)
 
LOCAL_MODULE    := tutorial03
LOCAL_SRC_FILES := tutorial03.c
LOCAL_LDLIBS := -llog -ljnigraphics -lz -landroid
LOCAL_SHARED_LIBRARIES := libavformat libavcodec libswscale libavutil
 
include $(BUILD_SHARED_LIBRARY)
$(call import-module,ffmpeg-2.0.1/android/arm)

Note that we called import-module with the relative path to $NDK/sources for the build system to locate the reusable ffmpeg libraries.
