compilation of VLC for Android fail

I'm trying to compile vlc using the following instructions http://wiki.videolan.org/AndroidCompile. i get the vlc source using git but when i'm doing the next command:

cd extras/contrib

./bootstrap -t arm-eabi -d android

i'm getting this error:

[contrib] No install dir specified, using '/android-sdk-mac_x86/vlc-android/extras/contrib/hosts/arm-eabi'

when i make the next step that is 'make' i got the following failure;

anyone can help? i'm using mac OS X 10.6.6

Given prior Linux CLI experience, the best I can tell you is that it doesn't look like your tool-chain is fully initialized and needs some setup. Below is a link that documents initialization for a MAC build environment:

http://source.android.com/source/initializing.html

You probably should have set your NDK installation properly.

1. Download the latest Android NDK.

2. Unzip and move the extracted “android-ndk-r6″ directory to “/Applications”, so you end up with “/Applications/android-ndk-r6″.

3. Edit “~/.profile” to add the following: export ANDROID_NDK=/Applications/android-ndk-r5b export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_NDK:$ANDROID_NDK/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.4.3/prebuilt/darwin-x86/bin

The PATH was the key to solve this kind of problem to me. Because it makes possible to find and use "arm-linux-androideabi-gcc".
