GStreamer on Android (Android Studio 1.3.2)

[Brian D]

Sorry, keyboard got away from me!

I've recently spent some time trying to get GStreamer to build in Android
Studio 1.3.2 with the GStreamer Project's provided Android packages found
here: http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/pkg/android/. I've noticed two
issues when compiling and I was writing to check on the status of that
package in relation to these issues:

1) in <pkg>/share/ndk-build/gstreamer-1.0.mk, $HOST_SED is used to do some
string replacement in the build process:

65    # Host tools
66    ifeq ($(HOST_OS),windows)
67        HOST_SED := $(GSTREAMER_NDK_BUILD_PATH)/tools/windows/sed
68        GSTREAMER_LD :=
69    else
70    endif

The problem I run into is that on my build system, Ubuntu, HOST_SED remains
undefined and is later invoked. My fix is to just add /bin/sed in the else
block. Is this a known issue?

2) <pkg>/share/ndk-build/gstreamer_android-1.0.c.in pegs the JNI version at
JNI_VERSION_1_4 and will invoke an error at runtime if it's anything
different. Using Android Studio 1.3.2, which comes with NDK integrated, the
JNI version is up to JNI_VERSION_1_6 -- I've successfully compiled my
project after changing the three references of 1_4 to 1_6, though I have
not thoroughly tested the library with the new JNI version.

Is there a reason this is hard coded to 1_4? Can this be fixed in the build
with a preprocessor directive or some other fix perhaps?

Thanks!
Brian
