ffmpeg recipe is broken on ndk19

[misl6]

Versions

• Python: 3.7.1
• OS: Ubuntu
• Kivy: master
• Cython: -

Description

ffmpeg recipe that was building fine on ndk 17c now fails with ndk 19b (current p4a==develop recommended ndk)

The error is related to gcc. (starting from ndk 18x support to gcc was removed)
ffmpeg recipe should be updated to use clang.

If helps to someone else, in ubuntu 19.04 for success compiling ffmpeg was necessary change the file buildozer.spec to use the python-for-android development branch.

p4a.branch = develop

The error was related to arm-linux-androideabi-gcc not detected, due to that buildozer project now forces to use the latest ndk 19b and as i can see the clang fixes for the ffmpeg recipe are only in the develop branch.

@oukiar that helped me as well, thanks for the tip!

@AndreMiras when would we expect this to be moved to the stable branch?

[AndreMiras]

We don't have a planned release, ideally we should release often, but we don't 😬
