Have you read http://www.linphone.org/eng/documentation/guide/compiling.html and have you installed the packages that are shown there as required?
What Ubuntu release are you running?

You might be interested in the PPA https://launchpad.net/~rayanayar/+archive/linphone which seems to be just working on that application.

If you try compiling (I guess the commands should be ./configure && make && sudo make install) what happens?

this is what i have done so far;

1) i successfully downloaded the android linphone project from http://www.linphone.org/eng/download/git.html using git.
2) installed all the android sdk tools, ndk and jdk in the ubuntu 12.04 system
3) set the path variables of sdk tools and ndk
4) then finally from the command prompt of project folder, run the 'make' command. the run command executes successfully and start compiling the code.. but after sometime in the middle of compiling there is following ilbc error

" cd /Users/grahambriggs/Source/TPC_LithiumLinphone/linphone-android/submodules/libilbc-rfc3951/downloads && make \
    || ( echo "iLBC prepare stage failed" ; exit 1 )"

and due to this error i am unable to compile the project successfully.
please let me know what should i do to fix this issue.

Have you executed ./configure ?

What is the full output of
cd /Users/grahambriggs/Source/TPC_LithiumLinphone/linphone-android/submodules/libilbc-rfc3951/downloads
make

Your output is contradictory.

In different posts the project directory seems to be
Post #5: /Users/grahambriggs/Source/TPC_LithiumLinphone/linphone-android
Post #8: /home/adnan/Desktop/linphone-android/

I do not understand what there is going on, so I do not know how to help further. Sorry.
Maybe you find answers by carefully reading all documentation (readme files) that come with the linphone source.

By the way: why are you trying to compile the package yourself? There should be a package for installation available in the Google play store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.linphone&hl=en

dear first of all many thanx for your kind help and being very co-operative.

actually i forgot to mention that initially i was talking of my university computer having ubuntu 12.04.. in this case i i was stuck on ilbc error... so post5 was related. Post #5: /Users/grahambriggs/Source/TPC_LithiumLinphone/linphone-android

but now i posted the output from my home computer having latest distribution of ubuntu 14.04.
Post #8: /home/adnan/Desktop/linphone-android/

from google play store only the final application can be downloaded.. i can only install and use the app... but i need the source code of the app to modify it and use it according to my own needs.. thats why i need to download the source code and compile it.

hope now everything is clear :)

I have not compiled linphone myself (and I am not planning to). I can only make suggestions based on documentation and/or messages in your logs.

I propose you read all documentation, make sure to have all dependencies installed, and try the build commands as given in the documentation. On one of the web pages that is a "configure" script mentioned. Can you search if you find that somewhere in the source directories?
