+ - see the build notes in the Android.mk file.
+
+ Method using a configure cross-compile (tested with Android NDK r7b):
+ - prepare the toolchain of the Android NDK for standalone use; this can
+ be done by invoking the script:
+ ./tools/make-standalone-toolchain.sh
+ which creates a usual cross-compile toolchain. Lets assume that you put
+ this toolchain below /opt then invoke configure with something like:
+ export PATH=/opt/arm-linux-androideabi-4.4.3/bin:$PATH
+ ./configure --host=arm-linux-androideabi [more configure options]
+ make
+ - if you want to compile directly from our GIT repo you might run into
+ this issue with older automake stuff:
+ checking host system type...
+ Invalid configuration `arm-linux-androideabi':
+ system `androideabi' not recognized
+ configure: error: /bin/sh ./config.sub arm-linux-androideabi failed
+ this issue can be fixed with using more recent versions of config.sub
+ and config.guess which can be obtained here:
+ http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=config.git;a=tree
+ you need to replace your system-own versions which usually can be
+ found in your automake folder:
+ find /usr -name config.sub
