I'm trying to compile the PugiXML library with Android NDK; it says on the website that this is possible, but the download doesn't contain an android makefile and I haven't used NDK much before (the docs don't help!)
I'm currently getting the error:
/pugiconfig.o: file not recognized: File format not recognized
collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status
I was originally getting an error because NDK couldn't find #include <iterator> and I'm not sure I've correctly resolved this. I tried following this stackoverflow Q/A and ended up with the error shown above.
My current Android.mk looks like this:
LOCAL_PATH := $(call my-dir)
include $(CLEAR_VARS)
LOCAL_MODULE := webface
LOCAL_CPP_EXTENSION := .hpp .cpp
LOCAL_SRC_FILES := ../pugiconfig.hpp ../pugixml.hpp ../pugixml.cpp
include $(BUILD_SHARED_LIBRARY)
and my current Application.mk looks like this:
APP_ABI := all
APP_STL := stlport_shared
I'd suggest removing everything but pugixml.cpp from LOCAL_SRC_FILES.
Also, note that if you have issues with you can just compile with PUGIXML_NO_STL (by adding -DPUGIXML_NO_STL to CXXFLAGS).

So I've been scratching my head for quite some time with this: basically, I have two Android makefile, one in my jni folder, and one in another folder that contains my native c++ code.
Thing is, for the following makefile,
LOCAL_PATH := $(call my-dir)
GENERATED_PATH := $(LOCAL_PATH)/../../generated/release/api/Android
############################ Includes ############################
#------------------------------------------------------------------ Assimp
LOCAL_MODULE := Assimp
LOCAL_EXPORT_C_INCLUDES := $(GENERATED_PATH)/assimp/include
LOCAL_SRC_FILES := $(GENERATED_PATH)/assimp/lib/libassimp.a
include $(PREBUILT_STATIC_LIBRARY)
# More Libraries included....
#....
I get the following error:
Android NDK: ERROR:jni/../../../appCommon/Android.mk:Assimp: LOCAL_SRC_FILES points to a missing file
Android NDK: Check that jni/../../../appCommon/jni/../../../appCommon/../../generated/release/api/Android/assimp/lib/libassimp.a exists or that its path is correct
What bugs me is that there's twice the LOCAL_PATH in the path where the ndk searches for the library. I've already read about a few cases like this one (like using the notdir macro) but couldn't find a satisfying solution.
How can I specify correctly (and not manually) the correct directory ?
So it turns out that the problem stems from the PREBUILT_STATIC_LIBRARY script, which looks for the lib in the following path: $(LOCAL_PATH)/$(LOCAL_SRC_FILES)
Thus, a simple workaround that worked is to have separate variables for the directories, like that:
GENERATED_PATH := ../../generated/release/api/Android
GENERATED_INCLUDE_PATH := $(LOCAL_PATH)/$(GENERATED_PATH)
and then use them like that:
LOCAL_MODULE := Assimp
LOCAL_EXPORT_C_INCLUDES := $(GENERATED_INCLUDE_PATH)/assimp/include
LOCAL_SRC_FILES := $(GENERATED_PATH)/assimp/lib/libassimp.a
include $(PREBUILT_STATIC_LIBRARY)
I have an Android project written in C++ and have a problem in linking phase. The code is put in some static libraries which should be linked together.
I have found a lot of questions and answers on the net about this topic and most of them suggest to put my libraries to LOCAL_STATIC_LIBRARIES in the Android.mk file. But, if I do this, I found the content of LOCAL_STATIC_LIBRARIES is simply ignored: my libraries are not linked, and adding any dummy text here does not generate any error or warning message.
I tried it this way:
LOCAL_STATIC_LIBRARIES := MyLib.a
or with full path:
LOCAL_STATIC_LIBRARIES := $(LOCAL_PATH)/MyLib.a
none of them worked.
If I put my static libraries to LOCAL_LDLIBS then it is linked, but I got a warning message about non-system libraries are used, and probably the build will be wrong.
The content of my Android.mk file is:
LOCAL_LDLIBS := $(LOCAL_PATH)/MyLib.a ...
and I got this message:
Android NDK: WARNING:jni/Android.mk:myapp: non-system libraries in linker flags: jni/MyLib.a
Android NDK: This is likely to result in incorrect builds. Try using LOCAL_STATIC_LIBRARIES
Android NDK: or LOCAL_SHARED_LIBRARIES instead to list the library dependencies of the
Android NDK: current module
I could not find how to use LOCAL_STATIC_LIBRARIES right way, please help me!
I have android-ndk-r9 and android-sdk_r22.2.1 on a OpenSuSE x86 and using target=android-18
See JBL's answer here.
The LOCAL_STATIC_LIBRARIES variable does not work that way. First you need a section that defines the library you want to include:
include $(CLEAR_VARS)
LOCAL_PATH = .
LOCAL_MODULE := curl
LOCAL_EXPORT_C_INCLUDES := ../curl/include
LOCAL_SRC_FILES := ../curl/lib/libcurl.a
include $(PREBUILT_STATIC_LIBRARY)
THEN, you can include it using
include $(CLEAR_VARS)
LOCAL_MODULE = mylib
CFLAGS = ...
...
LOCAL_STATIC_LIBRARIES = curl
include $(BUILD_STATIC_LIBRARY)
Most probably the problem lies in that you are giving the extension of the library:
LOCAL_STATIC_LIBRARIES := MyLib.a
I think, it should be written as:
LOCAL_STATIC_LIBRARIES := MyLib
I would like to statically link OpenCV(2.4.3.2) to my project. Right now my Android.mk looks like this
LOCAL_PATH := $(call my-dir)
include $(CLEAR_VARS)
OPENCV_CAMERA_MODULES:=on
OPENCV_INSTALL_MODULES:=on
include /Users/jamiematthews/Documents/Android-Projects/OpenCV-2.4.3-android-sdk/sdk/native/jni/OpenCV.mk
LOCAL_MODULE := jni_part
LOCAL_SRC_FILES := jni_part.cpp
LOCAL_LDLIBS += -llog -ldl
LOCAL_LDLIBS += -L$(SYSROOT)/usr/lib -llog
include $(BUILD_SHARED_LIBRARY)
Which throws the errors:
Android NDK: ERROR:/Users/jamiematthews/Documents/workspace/AuthentiGuard/jni/Android.mk:on: LOCAL_SRC_FILES points to a missing file
/Users/jamiematthews/Documents/android-ndk-r8d/build/core/prebuilt-library.mk:43: *** Android NDK: Aborting . Stop.
Android NDK: Check that /Users/jamiematthews/Documents/Android-Projects/OpenCV-2.4.3-android-sdk/sdk/native/jni/../libs/mips/libon.so exists or that its path is correct
Anyone know what "LOCAL_SRC_FILES points to a missing file" could mean?
PS if I remove the lines
OPENCV_CAMERA_MODULES:=on
OPENCV_INSTALL_MODULES:=on
it compiles fine, but then I cant statically link
Found the solution. Believe it or not it was an issue with Application.mk, not Android.mk. I had set
APP_ABI := all
Previously, and not even considered that it could effect the build process of this statically. I ended up changing it to
APP_ABI := armeabi-v7a
And now, everything works fine. Note that I ended up not needing OPENCV_CAMERA_MODULES:=on, I believe that is only if you are calling the camera from JNI, which I am not
LOCAL_SRC_FILES show the file where your native code resides. If you use native OpenCV code then you have to add the name of your cpp file here.
If you do not have a native part then you should add the OpenCV library to the libs folder of your project. (in case of static initialization). Please check this page for details.
How can I specify shared libraries to load in the Android.mk when compiling with ndk-build ?
Edit: This is my Android.mk
LOCAL_PATH := $(call my-dir)
include $(CLEAR_VARS)
LOCAL_MODULE := lib-crypto
LOCAL_SRC_FILES := libcrypto.so
include $(PREBUILT_SHARED_LIBRARY)
include $(CLEAR_VARS)
LOCAL_MODULE := tema1
LOCAL_SRC_FILES := tema1.c
LOCAL_SHARED_LIBRARIES := lib-crypto
LOCAL_C_INCLUDES := /home/aleksei/openSSL0.9.8/include
include $(BUILD_EXECUTABLE)
libcrypto.so is the library that I have built for android. I want to make a program using it. Now it gives me this error:
Install : libcrypto.so => libs/armeabi/libcrypto.so
Executable : tema1
./obj/local/armeabi/libcrypto.so: undefined reference to `dladdr'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [obj/local/armeabi/tema1] Error 1
PREBUILT_SHARED_LIBRARY
Points to a build script used to specify a prebuilt shared library.
Unlike BUILD_SHARED_LIBRARY and BUILD_STATIC_LIBRARY, the value
of LOCAL_SRC_FILES must be a single path to a prebuilt shared
library (e.g. foo/libfoo.so), instead of a source file.
You can reference the prebuilt library in another module using
the LOCAL_PREBUILTS variable (see docs/PREBUILTS.html for more
information).

Show me what you have done till yet and where you facing problem.?
I had the same problem. To fix it, I did the following:
In the same directory as your Android.mk file, create a file named Application.mk
Add the following line of code into Application.mk:
"APP_PLATFORM := android-8"
If you already have an Application.mk file, just add the code in step 2 to the existing file. Now call ndk-build and see if it links. ndk-build may be compiling with an old version of libdl which does not have dladdr(). The code in step 2 will cause ndk-build to use an updated libdl which has dladdr().
I have a bunch of C files with extensions .c and .h. I want to compile these files with Android NDK. When I tried with only one file, NDK worked perfectly, but when I tried including other files inside this main C files with includes, I get an error. What an I missing? This is my Android.mk file:
LOCAL_PATH := $(call my-dir)
include $(CLEAR_VARS)
LOCAL_LDLIBS := -llog
LOCAL_MODULE := ndksetupdemo
LOCAL_SRC_FILES := mymain_c_file.c
LOCAL_C_INCLUDES := includes
include $(BUILD_SHARED_LIBRARY)
Should I include anything more?
It appears that you only link against the log library (LOCAL_LDLIBS := -llog). If you are referencing functions that are not defined in any of the included headers and in your mymain_c_file.c, you will get the undefined reference error. You will need to find out what other libraries you need to link against and list them in LOCAL_LDLIBS.
If the functions are defined in the other .c files, you need to add them to the LOCAL_SRC_FILES variable.
