Building GStreamer for Android on Windows

[pankaj bansal]

Hi Sebastian

I got it working. I am setting the environment variable in Android.mk
instead of System Path or in command prompt. This is weird but its working.

One thing you said system environment variable name is GSTREAMER_ROOT_ANDROID,
but I see the variable is GSTREAMER_SDK_ROOT_ANDROID in Android.mk. I have
downloaded "gstreamer-sdk-android-arm-debug-2013.6.zip" from the link given
in
http://docs.gstreamer.com/display/GstSDK/Installing+for+Android+development.
Am I doing something wrong ?

I am attaching the my Android.mk


Regards
Pankaj Bansal
