I want to compile VLC for Android on Eclipse IDE. According to http://wiki.videolan.org/AndroidCompile I have to be on Linux. I'm using Ubuntu 11.10 and I followed every step on the list. In Eclipse, I imported the project from vlc-android folder and ActionBarSherlock folder is also added as library. While running the project, an error has been occured and the following log is generated by the LogCat:
