[mythtv-users] android compiling - gcc missing

[Tim Draper]

I've encountered a number of issues with the apk's that Peter Bennett has created and i'm looking at compiling myself to ensure things havent been fixed. Nothing obviously fixed in the commits but worth a go, even if it's just to gain some experience cross compiling.

specifically, issues with the APK on a Shield TV Pro as follows:
mythfrontend-20190625-arm64-v30.0-60-gb9c1b41a6c0.apk  < does not provide surround AudioTrack sound, so limited to OpenSLES (stereo only)
mythfrontend-20190724-arm64-v31-Pre-539-gff6bd41e0c0.apk < OpenSLES enabled but has font rendering issues in some themes (videos section in mythbuntu theme). also getting very occasional dropped frames during playback that i've not yet seen on the above v30 apk or my other FE's.


since both of these are as good as 6months old now i figured i'd compile myself to test further but i keep hitting c++/gcc missing error when running the './makelibs.sh all' step from git instructions (https://github.com/MythTV/packaging/tree/master/android, step4)

exact error is 
# ./makelibs.sh all
...
checking if we have a C++ compiler... no
configure: error: C++ compiler g++ does not work or no compiler found
~/git/mythtv-packaging/android/libs64/icu ~/git/mythtv-packaging/android/libs64 ~/git/mythtv-packaging/android

What am i missing to get it to see gcc?

I'm on Fedora31, gcc is installed at /usr/bin/gcc, and i've also symlinked it to ~/git/mythtv-packaging/android/gcc but still no go (i assume that path is listed because it's where the script is looking for it).
