grep: D:\Bilal's\PcBackupData\Sdk\ndk\21.3.6528147/source.properties: No such file or directory

error: Can not run git commands in this folder. See build.log.**

and then in log it says

**INFO: Using Android NDK v provided at D:\Bilal's\PcBackupData\Sdk
dk\21.3.6528147

INFO: Build options:

fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git**

and then doing some research i tried this command to create empty git repo

KNIGHTS@DESKTOP-SAPNDRN MINGW64 /d/ffmpeg/mobile-ffmpeg
$ git init
Initialized empty Git repository in D:/ffmpeg/mobile-ffmpeg/.git/

adn then log says

**INFO: Using Android NDK v provided at D:\Bilal's\PcBackupData\Sdk

You need to clone mobile-ffmpeg repository if you want to build it. Those git errors tell that you have mobile-ffmpeg source code but .git folder is not there. Manually creating .git folder won't solve your issues.

These are the limitations of Windows and has nothing to do with this project. You shouldn't be asking them to me.

An alternative to git clone is to download the following two packages and extract them into the same folder. I don't know whether you'll have the same issue but it's worth a try.

https://github.com/tanersener/mobile-ffmpeg/archive/v4.4.tar.gz
https://github.com/tanersener/mobile-ffmpeg/releases/download/v4.4/master.git.tar.gz

Another Windows issue. Your parent directory is /d/Bilal's/Projects/GithubProjects. Try to use simpler universal paths, without spaces or quotes; e.g. /d/bilal/.

tanersener on 6 Oct 2020

yes i have changed paths and stuff, also downloaded latest CMake 3.18, re-downloaded ndk-bundle, and set environmental variables too

You can find the answers of these questions on stackoverflow. Please ask them there. I don't know what they are.

As you can see from the following message, cmake tries to run a command but that command fails. It fails with The system cannot find the file specified message and that command is nmake ...., it is not cmake ..... Therefore, try to understand where does that nmake come from. It doesn't come from mobile-ffmpeg. Also make sure that you have all the prerequisites installed.

Run Build Command(s):nmake /nologo cmTC_b8ddc\fast && The system cannot find the file specified

Thanks @tanersener tried every possible solution regarding cmake, still not able to finding a solution,

what i want is to reduce the size of apk, simply just building ffmpeg-lts-4.4-min give me 34 mb, i want to reduce it more. but anyways is there a way if i made bundle.aab file out of it and it will reduce the size for every ndk filters when uploading on playstore?

i am using bravobit/ffmpeg lib, but its not supporting android 29,30.

BilalAsif25 on 8 Oct 2020

building ffmpeg-lts-4.4-min give me 34 mb

You can definitely build a bundle, or manually split APKs, or simply drop all irrelevant ABIs from the ffmpeg-lts-4.4-min package. If you only go for arm64-only, which will be enough to upload your APK to PlayStore, it will be 6.2MB of native libs.
