Building gstreamer for Android on Win 7

[Stephen Webb]

OK,

After looking more closely it appears that cross compiling for Android/Arm
is not supported on a Windows system (is my understanding correct?)  I have
moved to an Ubuntu 13.04 / Raring system to try to make progress there
instead.  I have run into two issues:

1.  When I try to bootstrap with config/cross-android.cbc I get two
warnings:
"WARNING:  No bootstrapper for the distro version android_gingerbread"
"WARNING:  No bootstrapper for the distro version ubuntu_raring"

Can I safely ignore these warnings, or should I try to make them go away?

2.  I ran into a problem in recipes/libmad.recipe line 27:
if Architecture.is_arm(self.config.target_arch):

I ran this command:  cerbero-uninstalled -c config/cross-android.cbc
package gstreamer-sdk

The error is:
"WARNING:  Error loading recipe in file
/home/user/gstreamer/gstreamer-sdk/cerbero/recipes/libmad.recipe class
Architecture has no attribute 'is_arm'

I'm happy to short-circuit this conditional because everything I am doing
is for ARM...but is this a clue that I am doing something else wrong?

3.  If I hard-wire around the error in #2 I get this error:

DK can also be cross-compiled to Windows from Linux, but you should only
use it for testing purpose. The DirectShow plugins cannot be cross-compiled
yet and WiX can't be used with Wine yet, so packages can only be created
from Windows.

It looks to me (just a guess) like it is trying to fetch
/gstreamer/libiconv.git but it should be going for
/gstreamer-sdk/libiconv.git

I figured there might be something wrong with my config files, but I
haven't been able to find anything.

If someone could point me in the right direction I would appreciate it.
