building ffmpeg for android x86

[mortyccp]

.../ld: warning: skipping incompatible libavutil/libavutil.a while searching for avutil
.../ld: error: cannot find -lavutil

I encounter the above error when compelling ffmpeg3.1.2 for android x86. Anyone knows how to fix this?

I found the reason! recipe for target 'ffmpeg_g' failed,because ffmpeg_g already exists.

What is the solution?

I'm encountering the same issue for x86 builds, but it's only after updating the ffmpeg submodule branch to release/3.2

I have a work around for now. The problem is there are left over files from the arm build when it gets to x86 build, I think its attempting to link to pull in the wrong files. A quick fix is to reset ffmpeg checkout manually and run x86 separately on its own. You need to modify one line in settings.sh, change SUPPORTED_ARCHITECTURES to SUPPORTED_ARCHITECTURES=(x86) to run x86 only. Before running delete ffmpeg directory and rerun ./init_update_libs.sh before running ./android_build.sh. I think clean target in ffmpeg Makefile needs tweaking. Im taking a look. Once I implemented this hack I was able to build ffmpeg binaries for arm and x86 with the latest release of ffmpeg 3.2. I dont know when they intend to make a new release but I will work on the Makefile changes and other small tweaks and can submit a pull request.

Thanks @adancygier !! I just had the same issue, after updating it to release/3.2. I didn't check the builds folder until, because i thought the whole building process somehow failed. :)

Same here with 3.2. You just need to delete compat/strtod.d and .o to fix it. I just edited android_build.sh to do it after building ffmpeg before building for next architecture.
