SharedLib dependency @ Mixed mode APK

1. I am building a mixed mode Android project, the project is using the native ffmpeg


2. The Libs are
   
   2.1. libavutil.so -> libavutil.so.51
   
   2.2. libavcodec.so -> libavcodec.so.54
   
   2.3. libavformat.so -> libavformat.so.54
   


3. My Java code include the following JNI section to load the native libs:
   
   static {
   
        System.loadLibrary("avutil");
   
        System.loadLibrary("avcodec");
   
        System.loadLibrary("avformat");
   
   }
   


4. 'libavcodec.so' depends on 'libavutil.so.51' AND NOT on 'libavutil.so'.
   


5. When running my activity  System.loadLibrary("avcodec"); excepts with "could not load needed library 'libavutil.so.51' for 'libavcodec.so' (Library 'libavutil.so.51' not found)"


6. On my Android.mk I have the following section to have the native libs added to the APK:
   
   
   
   include $(CLEAR_VARS)
   
   LOCAL_MODULE := mylib
   
   LOCAL_SRC_FILES := ../../../Android/ffmpeg/libavcodec/libmylib.so
   
   include $(PREBUILT_SHARED_LIBRARY)
   
   
   


7. replacing libmylib.so with libmylib.so. cause the build to fail with [LOCAL_SRC_FILES should point to a file ending with ".so"]
   
   
   
   
   
   Having the above in mind, how can have libavcodec loading w/o the dependency problem ?
   
   
   
   
   • Can I fix libavcodec.so dependency to point to libavutil.so and not to libavutil.so.51 ?
     
   
   
   • Can I change Android.mk so it will be able to pack libavutil.so.51 ( non .SO extention ).
     
     
     
     Any help will be appreciated!!!
