I am trying to compile Xuggler for Raspberry Pi(Running on Debian OS aka Raspbian),
I followed the 'Basic Build Instructions' available here for compiling Xuggler.
After I successfully installed all the prerequisites and set the correct paths, I ran the following command:
ant run-tests
After sometime I am facing the following error and the ant build fails at libx264:
{scroll at the end of log to see the issue}

I am unable to understand the problem statment "unrecognized option '-std=gnu99'" here, Can someone please tell me how can I resolve this or circumvent it in xuggler?
"ant run-tests" has been known to fail on certain architectures. Do you get this same error when you just run the following command?
ant stage
I have successfully built Xuggler on the Raspberry Pi using "ant stage". This produces the magic jar that can then be used on many different ARM computers. I personally was only interested in building an LGPL version of the library, and you can checkout the code that builds as-is on the pi branch here:
https://github.com/e-d/xuggle-xuggler/tree/pi
This does not include X264 support since it builds an LGPL version. I do know that it is possible to build the standard GPL version too, I just haven't done it. You can look at the last few commits I made to see what I changed to get it to build on the pi.
