Impossible to compile due to vlc compile poblems

[ssaguiar]

I tried to compile the vlc lib using your script because it's almost impossible to compie using the instructions in vlc page (https://wiki.videolan.org/AndroidCompile/) The problem is that the same erros happened. Can you give some advice about this? I am using Ubuntu 15 Do I need to downgrade my Ubuntu to 13?

Thanks

@ssaguiar

execute bellow command

libtoolize

in the same directory from where you have executed the compile.sh command. Faced same problem and its resolved by executing "libtoolize"

Thanks
