Android 4.4 cannot locate symbol "mmap64"

See original GitHub issue

Maybe Android 4.4 is out of scope, but I am trying hard to have MPV working on it, sadly I am getting the error:

 java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: dlopen failed: could not load library "libavcodec.so" needed by "libmpv.so"; caused by could not load library "libswresample.so" needed by "libavcodec.so"; caused by could not load library "libavutil.so" needed by "libswresample.so"; caused by cannot locate symbol "mmap64" referenced by "libavutil.so"...

I am trying to figure out how to solve this, but so far I have no clue:

Will it be possible to make it work?

Thanks.

Android 4.4 is definitely out of scope, from our experience devices that can’t upgrade to 5.0 are too old/bad to be able to run mpv in the first place.

You need to actually lower the API level of the native toolchain to the one for 4.4. Some of these errors will already appear during compilation, for each of those you need to find a workaround that does not use the problematic function.

Blame Android’s shitty libc.

This “libavutil.so” may be a 64 bit package that requires mmap64; For Android API < 20 ,is mmap instead of mmap64; If you truely need this function, maybe you can build a 32 bit “libavutil.so” from the ffmepg source code.
