  1. POAndroid NDK: Including boost c++ library
    text
    copied!<p>I am trying to use a boost library inside my android application, using the NDK. I have found a couple of success stories <a href="http://www.codexperiments.com/android/2011/05/tips-tricks-building-boost-with-ndk-r5/comment-page-1/#comment-336" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a> and <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4882714/port-boost-to-android/4883976#4883976">here</a>, but I can't say the same about me. I am specifically trying to use the library in <a href="http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_35_0/libs/math/doc/sf_and_dist/html/math_toolkit/toolkit/internals1/roots2.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this link</a>, as well as the boost thread library. In the code below, I am only trying to include the thread library, not the math library. The process I used to build the boost libraries is pretty much the same as the first link I attached.</p> <p>So far, it seems I have successfully built the boost libraries, but when I run <code>ndk-build</code>, I get the following error:</p> <pre><code>Prebuilt : libboost_thread.a &lt;= &lt;NDK&gt;/sources/ cp: omitting directory `path/to/ndk/sources/boost' make: *** [obj/local/armeabi/libboost_thread.a] Error 1 </code></pre> <p>Obviously the <code>cp: omitting directory...</code> is not exactly an error. But the only thing I'm getting other than that is the next line, which doesn't really mean anything. <code>Error 1</code></p> <p>Here's my Android.mk file:</p> <pre><code>LOCAL_PATH := $(call my-dir) include $(CLEAR_VARS) LOCAL_STATIC_LIBRARIES := boost_thread LOCAL_LDLIBS := lboost_system-gcc-md lboost_thread-gcc-md -lgnustl_static LOCAL_LDLIBS += lboost_system-gcc-md lboost_thread-gcc-md \ -L$(NDK_ROOT)/sources/cxx-stl/gnu-libstdc++/libs/armeabi \ -lgnustl_static LOCAL_SRC_FILES := #cpp_sources LOCAL_MODULE := com_example_ndkFile_CppMethods include $(BUILD_SHARED_LIBRARY) $(call import-module,boost) </code></pre> <p>And there's also an Android.mk file in <code>path/to/ndk/sources/boost/</code>:</p> <pre><code>LOCAL_PATH:= $(call my-dir) include $(CLEAR_VARS) LOCAL_MODULE:= boost_thread LOCAL_SRC_FILES:= android/lib/libboost_thread.a LOCAL_EXPORT_C_INCLUDES := $(LOCAL_PATH) include $(PREBUILT_STATIC_LIBRARY) </code></pre> <p>And my humble Application.mk file:</p> <pre><code>APP_ABI := armeabi armeabi-v7a APP_STL := gnustl_static APP_CPPFLAGS = -fexceptions </code></pre> <p>I built the boost libraries using <code>bjam</code>. All of the <code>libboost_###.a</code> files are in the <code>sources/boost/android/lib</code> folder.</p> <p>What is the error I'm getting?</p>
