Project root includes six directories, two top level build scripts (android.sh and ios.sh), two LICENSE files and the README.md markdown file.

• android folder contains files necessary to build MobileFFmpeg Android library. These are;

  • Configuration files required by gradle
  • Documentation configuration file for doxygen
  • Source files stored inside app folder
  • NDK build files under jni folder
  • Android test application in test-app folder

• build directory includes all scripts called by top-level build scripts. Android specific scripts start with android- prefix and IOS specific scripts start with ios- prefix. The other two files, prefixed with main-, are responsible of building an architecture for each platform.

• docs folder contains documentation files.

• ios directory contains MobileFFmpeg files for IOS platform. These are;

  • Configuration files required by Autotools
  • Documentation configuration file for doxygen
  • Source files stored inside src folder
  • IOS test application in test-app folder

• src directory includes source code of FFmpeg and all external libraries without GPL license.

• tools directory includes utility scripts which are invoked manually.

• Temporary folder .tmp is created at the beginning of compilation to download gas-preprocessor.pl and sources of GPL libraries.

• After the compilation, compiled objects (libraries, universal binaries, frameworks, android archives, etc.) are generated under prebuilt directory.
