How do I fix these?

Answer 1

The reason for your error is that the libtgvoip is a submodule and you did not clone the repository recursively so the required library has not been checked out.

To fix this go to the folder where you cloned the project and run

 git submodule update --init --recursive

This will check out the required submodule

Answer 2

no contents inside jni/libtgvoip

so either do git submodule update --init --recursive or

download from here and past it inside jni/libtgvoip
