title: ffmpeg for a android (using tutorial: "ffmpeg and Android.mk")
body: <p>I am trying to compile ffmpeg for a android. I have found several posts on this theme but non of these seems to work. If tried to build ffmpeg like it is posted on [1]. Did anybody successfully compile ffmpeg using theses tutorial?
  I am not sure how to realize step 4  to 5.</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>STEP4: Configuring ...</p>
    
    <p>STEP5: cd to your NDK root dir, type make TARGET_ARCH=arm APP=ffmpeg-org</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>It seems to me that building an application like it is explained in the tutorial in step 5 need some previous steps. Unfortunately I have no app in the folder to make. I am using the current android ndk release 3 and checked out the actual ffmpeg releases from [3] and [4]. I am thankful for every advice.</p>
