Error while compiling Kodi for Android

Posted on Author Kodi Community Forum - All Forums

I’m following the instructions provided in https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/blob/master…ME.android

Setup:
Ubuntu 16.04.1 (running on Windows 7 Virtual Box)
Android ARM Toolchain
Latest Android SDK
Android NDK r12b

Code:
./configure --with-tarballs=/home/kb/xbmc-tarballs --host=arm-linux-androideabi --with-sdk-path=/home/kb/Android/Sdk --with-ndk=/home/kb/android-ndk-r12b --with-toolchain=/home/kb/arm-linux-androideabi-4.9-vanilla/android-21 --prefix=/home/kb/xbmc-depends

I could compile all the dependencies successfully and received “Dependencies built successfully.” message.

While building Kodi (Step 5 in README.android), I’m receiving the following error:

Code:
kb@kb-VirtualBox:~/kodi-android$ make -C tools/depends/target/xbmc/
make: Entering directory '/home/kb/kodi-android/tools/depends/target/xbmc'
cd ../../../../; BOOTSTRAP_FROM_DEPENDS=yes ./bootstrap
/bin/sh: 1: ./bootstrap: not found
Makefile:34: recipe for target '../../../..//libkodi.so' failed
make: *** [../../../..//libkodi.so] Error 127
make: Leaving directory '/home/kb/kodi-android/tools/depends/target/xbmc'

I understand there is no bootstrap file under “/home/kb/kodi-android” folder, I see it only in /home/kb/kodi-android/tools/depends folder. I’ve performed the instruction more than two times to make sure I did not not skip any step.

Can someone help me in finding what is going wrong?

Thanks in advance.
