Compiling source for Android - JohnDoe1999 - 2023-12-27

hi,

Im trying to compile a build for android ARM following the github docs. Im stuck at the last step of 7, however, once I run the last make command I get an error shown below. Help would be very much appreciated.

/home/boaz/kodi-build/build/flatc/src/flatc/include/flatbuffers/flatbuffers.h:357:66: error: ‘Data’ was not declared in this scope
   const T *data() const { return reinterpret_cast<const T *>(Data()); }

I figured it out, turns out this was caused by outdated compiler packages.

To fix it I used:

code:


$ sudo apt-get install gcc-6 g++-6

$ update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gcc gcc /usr/bin/gcc-6 60 --slave /usr/bin/g++ g++ /usr/bin/g++-6 --slave /usr/bin/gcov gcov /usr/bin/gcov-6

Now I get another error when building the APK Sad

This has also been resolved, took some hours smashing my head against my keyboard after setting my gradle versions and properties accordingly to my java version.

Turns out I was changing the wrong gradle.properties file, I was changing the file located in:

~/kodi-build/tools/android/packaging

But the correct path is:

~/kodi-build/tools/android/packaging/gradle/wrapper

Furthermore I got another error which had been solved my increasing ram in the first properties path to org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx4608m.

Hope this will help others
