title: How to build SDL libraries for Android
body: <p>I am planning to use SDL (Simple DirectMedia Layer) to display video output in my Android application that uses ffmpeg libraries. I have downloaded the sources from <a href="http://www.libsdl.org/download-1.2.php" rel="nofollow">http://www.libsdl.org/download-1.2.php</a> and built (./configure, make &amp; make install) on my Ubuntu. But when I use these .so files the Android ndk-build complains that "Could not read symbols. File in wrong Format". </p>
  
  <p>Can I use the .so files that are built on Ubuntu on Android or do I need to build the SDL for Android in a different way? </p>
