I'm trying to compile a static library to use on Android but I can't figure out how to compile it. The library uses standard libraries (stdio.h etc...) and libxml2.
I am trying to compile using arm-eabi-gcc but I get the following error:
/cygdrive/c/android-ndk-r4/build/platforms/android-8/arch-x86/usr/include/asm/posix_types.h:15:28: error: posix_types_64.h: No such file or directory
How do I get this to work?
As I understand it, the correct method is to use ndk-build and not invoking the compiler directly.
In Android.mk you need to specify a module for each static library you want to compile, and then specify that your shared library should use it.
Example of a modified Android.mk file of the hello-jni sample project:
LOCAL_PATH := $(call my-dir)
# Define vars for library that will be build statically.
include $(CLEAR_VARS)
LOCAL_MODULE := <module_name>
LOCAL_C_INCLUDES := <header_files_path>
LOCAL_SRC_FILES := <list_of_src_files>
# Optional compiler flags.
LOCAL_LDLIBS = -lz -lm
LOCAL_CFLAGS = -Wall -pedantic -std=c99 -g
include $(BUILD_STATIC_LIBRARY)
# First lib, which will be built statically.
include $(CLEAR_VARS)
LOCAL_MODULE := hello-jni
LOCAL_STATIC_LIBRARIES := <module_name>
LOCAL_C_INCLUDES := <header_files_path>
LOCAL_SRC_FILES := hello-jni.c
include $(BUILD_SHARED_LIBRARY)
If you want control over which modules to compile when you run ndk-build you can create create a Application.mk file (in the same directory as Android.mk) and list all the modules as in the following example:
APP_MODULES := <module_name_1> <module_name_2> ... <module_name_n>
How can i separete it to the different Android.mk files?
i.e. 3rdParty/lib1/Android.mk is a static library platform_ndk/jni/Android.mk - shared library
How do include lib1 in main Android.mk? i have tried include, that didn't build the lib1, tried subdirs didn't build either for some reason.
Thanks.
