Sorry for not responding in the same thread, but I don't see how to do that. The digest instructions and the information on your site for developers only says how to submit questions, as far as I could find. Can you point me to how to respond in a thread?
I finally figured out that the problem was that I had previously done the git clone into Windows to try building using minGW, but that didn't work. I just copied those files to Linux, knowing it might not work, but I assumed the compiler would give me an error about the files, not to say the file didn't exist. But git cloning directly in Linux fixed the problem. Sorry for the trouble!
Now I can run make in the top linphone-android directory. It starts fine, but hits:
Buildfile: /home/whutchi/linphone-android/build.xml
No sub-builds to iterate on
BUILD FAILED
/home/whutchi/android-sdks/tools/ant/build.xml:649: The following error occurred while executing this line:
/home/whutchi/android-sdks/tools/ant/build.xml:694: Execute failed: java.io.IOException: Cannot run program /home/whutchi/linphone-android/${aapt}": error=2, No such file or directory
I see that line 694 is the last line of this block constructing the aapt:
<aapt executable="${aapt}"
command="package"

originalManifestPackage="${project.app.package}"

proguardFile="${out.absolute.dir}/proguard.txt">
The top-level README and other guides I've seen don't say that the submodules have to be manually built in advance, but I decided to try building the submodules separately. Following the instructions I built the submodules belle-sip and linphone successfully. But I still get the same error message when I try "make" at the top level. What do I need to do?
