android GMP cross compilation - android

I'm on debian/amd64 and I want to cross-compile GMP for android 2.2 using NDK-7b. I took the source code from [gmplib](hg clone http://gmplib.org:8000/gmp-5.0 gmp).
I configured it with:
./configure --enable-shared --host=arm-linux-androideabi --prefix=/home/fabien/android/spica/ndk-standalone-8 CFLAGS="-v -march=armv5te -mtune=xscale -msoft-float -Wl,-rpath,lib/ -DANDROID -ffunction-sections -funwind-tables -fstack-protector -funswitch-loops -finline-limit=300 -Wall -O3 -nodefaultlibs -fPIC -shared -Wl,--no-allow-shlib-undefined" PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/home/fabien/android/spica/ndk-standalone-8/lib/pkgconfig" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-rpath-link -Wl,/home/fabien/android/spica/ndk-standalone-8/lib -L/home/fabien/android/spica/ndk-standalone-8/lib"
I modified the file config.h by setting:
/* Define to 1 if you have the `obstack_vprintf' function. */
#ifndef ANDROID
#define HAVE_OBSTACK_VPRINTF 1
#endif
/* Define to 1 if you have the `localeconv' function. */
#ifndef ANDROID
#define HAVE_LOCALECONV 1
#endif
/* Define to 1 if you have the `vsnprintf' function and it works properly. */
#ifndef ANDROID
#define HAVE_VSNPRINTF 1
#endif
I updated the SUBDIRS parameter as follows in Makefile:
SUBDIRS = tests mpn mpz mpq mpf printf scanf cxx mpbsd demos tune
It seems to compile when I run make:
libtool: link: (cd ".libs" && rm -f "libgmp.so" && ln -s "libgmp.so.10.0.5" "libgmp.so")
libtool: link: ( cd ".libs" && rm -f "libgmp.la" && ln -s "../libgmp.la" "libgmp.la" )
But when I run "make check", the linker seems lost:
/../../../../arm-linux-androideabi/bin/ld: warning: ld-linux.so.3, needed by /home/fabien/android/spica/sources/gmp/.libs/libgmp.so, not found (try using -rpath or -rpath-link)

/home/fabien/android/spica/sources/gmp/.libs/libgmp.so: undefined reference to `puts#GLIBC_2.4'
Any hints ?

This error is due to the fact that the file that contains these helper functions (these are GCC helper functions) is not being included when the linker creates the target. To fix this, please add the libgcc.a (which contains the GCC helper function definitions) into the linker flags.
As for the location of libgcc.a, assuming gcc version arm-linux-androideabi-4.4.3, it will be
$NDK_ROOT/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.4.3/prebuilt/linux-x86/lib/gcc/arm-linux-androideabi/4.4.3/libgcc.a
This will NOT fix the following errors(which seem to be related to the GNU libc being missing):
.libs/libgmp.so: undefined reference to `abort#GLIBC_2.4'
.libs/libgmp.so: undefined reference to `puts#GLIBC_2.4'
The above 2 errors will always show up as android uses the Bionic libc, and not the GNU libc
Note: This method will fix similar issues on all systems, not just Android.

ld: Unknown symbol error when trying to run a C++ library - incorrect CMakeLists.txt settings [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
What is an undefined reference/unresolved external symbol error and how do I fix it?
(39 answers)
Closed last month.
I've downloaded an external c++ library for use inside a Flutter program via FFI. I've set up the FFI correctly, but I'm getting an error whenever I have the use the function from the external library. Here's the function:
#include <iostream>
#include "aoo/include/aoo/aoo.h"
#include "aoo/include/aoo/aoo_server.h"
#include "aoo/include/aoo/aoo_net.h"
extern "C" void initAoo(){
aoo_initialize(0);
std::cout << "Called from init AOO!" << std::endl;
}
When I compile and run to an android device, I get this error:
* What went wrong:

It says ld: error: undefined symbol: aoo_initialize. From my research, I think the problem must be from the way that I set up the compilation settings, so here's my CMakeLists.txt:
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.10.2)
add_library( add
SHARED
cpp/add.cpp
)
include_directories(cpp/aoo/include/aoo/aoo.h)
add_library(aoo cpp/aoo/include/aoo/aoo.h)
set_target_properties(aoo PROPERTIES LINKER_LANGUAGE CXX)
What is wrong with CMakeLists.txt? Am I properly including the files for compilation?
The basic problem is that aoo is not built. You'll need to take care of that.
I assume that your program is the target "add" and the source above is in cpp/add.cpp
Basically need to setup the aoo library correctly and then tell CMake to link your program against it.
add_library(aoo)
target_include_directories(aoo PUBLIC aoo/include)
target_sources(aoo PRIVATE aoo/src/library-source1.cc
aoo/src/library-source2.cc
...)
add_library(add SHARED)
target_sources(add PRIVATE cpp/add.cpp)
target_link_libraries(add PRIVATE aoo)
You will need to find out how aoo needs to be built though.
However, if you setup it well, you can #include <aoo/aoo.h> as CMake will also tell the compiler where to find the includes.
If aoo provides CMake integration, it may also be possible to just use that.

How to build boost for android as shared library with c++11 support

I am trying to build boost_1.60.0 (as shared library) for android with c++11 support. I am using the latest ndk (currently android-ndk-r10e). The build host is Windows-10.
This is for a non-opensource project. So as far as I understand I cannot use gnustl_shared, and I need to use c++_shared as the android c++ runtime.
my project-config.jam looks like this:
androidNDKRoot = c:/android-ndk-r10e ;
using gcc : android :

the build command is:

In order to determine the parameters in the project-config.jam I've build a sample shared library using the ndk-build, get its debug messages, and extracted the compile and link commands it uses.

The error tells that it needs the directory to find the necessary libraries, but the problem is that under android ndk there are several files with names rt and crtbegin_so.o and such. I guess I need to make the compiler determine the correct directory itself.
With all being said what I need actually is to build boost shared libraries for android with c++11 support. So I may accept your help either by pointing me in the right direction using the above build parameters or providing me a working sample so I can work out the details myself.
Oh also one more thing: if I use link=static instead of link=shared in the build command the build succeeds. But I have not tried the produced static libraries.
Building Boost on Linux using the NDK
I know you're asking about Windows, but I wanted to do this on macOS and it failed with nearly the exact error. I finally broke down and did it on my linode server it worked without a problem. This says to me that they aren't really doing a good job of testing other platforms. Compiling static only on macOS works as you also discovered on Windows.
Point of reference
NDK R13
Boost 1.62.0
Tested with clang++; g++ also works
If you're wondering why I'm using clang, the Release Notes have the following message:
GCC is no longer supported. It will not be removed from the NDK just
yet, but is no longer receiving backports. It cannot be removed until
after libc++ has become stable enough to be the default, as some parts
of gnustl are still incompatible with Clang. It will likely be removed
after that point.
user-config.jam
I placed this file in my home directory. Yuck.

Modifying libtool.m4 in boost to avoid versioning of the libraries
libtool.m4 under tools/build/src/engine/boehm_gc/libtool.m4 in the boost source has no reference to android and you'll need to change version_type=linux in the section linux*) to version_type=none. This will cause symbolic links to appear without the version number appended to the end linked to the versioned shared libraries in the output.
Building
Target OS MUST be android to avoid the -lrt flag being passed which will cause shared linking to fail.
./b2 \
-d+2 \
-j 4 \
--reconfigure \
target-os=android \
toolset=clang-android \
include=${ANDROID_NDK_STANDALONE}/include/c++/4.9.x \
link=static,shared \
variant=debug,release \
threading=multi \
--layout=versioned \
--prefix=${BOOST_INSTALL_DIR} \
install
A relevant information is here (Boost for Android), where they have been able to successfully build the shared libraries, but it seems that the resulting files have a version suffix which android can't handle. Also one can't just rename the binary because the file name is hardcoded in it. One way out, as per the last post, is to set the variable version_type to none (version_type=none) in the linux section of file. In your case, the build setup could be a little different, but it may be worthwhile to take a look at the changes they made at that discussion.
user-config.jam
If you want to find boost from cmake(find_package) you must use the version of compiler, and not android like the top answer, in your user-config.jam like below according to boost doc.

My answer for me in future. How to build latest Boost(1.79.0) with latest NDK(24.0) on Windows PC for Android.
Go to your downloaded boost_1_79_0 unpacked directory and build b2 tool:
.\bootstrap.bat
Check b2 tools is ready:
b2 --version
B2 4.8-git <-- possible output
create file user-config.jam in %HOME% directory with content like that(example):
using clang : arm64 : c\:/Users/l_chayka/Downloads/android-ndk-r24/toolchains/llvm/prebuilt/windows-x86_64/bin/aarch64-linux-android21-clang++.cmd : <cxxflags>-std=c++20 ;

Go to boost root and try to build for every Android architecture (arm, arm64, x86, x86_64) example:
c:\Users\l_chayka\Downloads\boost_1_79_0>b2.exe toolset=clang-x86_64 target-os=android link=static variant=debug threading=multi --layout=versioned --prefix=c:/boost-x64_86/ install
c:\Users\l_chayka\Downloads\boost_1_79_0>b2.exe toolset=clang-x86 target-os=android link=static variant=debug threading=multi --layout=versioned --prefix=c:/boost-x86/ install
c:\Users\l_chayka\Downloads\boost_1_79_0>b2.exe toolset=clang-arm target-os=android link=static variant=debug threading=multi --layout=versioned --prefix=c:/boost-arm/ install
c:\Users\l_chayka\Downloads\boost_1_79_0>b2.exe toolset=clang-arm64 target-os=android link=static variant=debug threading=multi --layout=versioned --prefix=c:/boost-arm64/ install

I have a problem during try to compile sources with recent android-9 x86 platform.
Primary question: why static library libm.a and dynamic libm.so are different?
Problem is i've try to compile:
/path/to/android-ndk-r8/toolchains/x86-4.4.3/prebuilt/linux-x86/bin/i686-android-linux-gcc --sysroot=/path/to/android-ndk-r8/platforms/android-9/arch-x86 -I/path/to/android-ndk-r8/sources/cxx-stl/gnu-libstdc++/include -I/path/to/android-ndk-r8/sources/cxx-stl/gnu-libstdc++/libs/x86/include -L/path/to/android-ndk-r8/sources/cxx-stl/gnu-libstdc++/lib -L/path/to/android-ndk-r8/platforms/android-9/arch-x86/usr/lib -static /path/to/gcc_4_4_6_release/gcc/testsuite/gcc.dg/complex-5.c -std=c99 -O -ffloat-store -o ./complex-5.exe -lm
but I have undefined reference:
/tmp/cc78CsCp.o: In function main': complex-5.c:(.text+0x1a2):
undefined reference tofeclearexcept' complex-5.c:(.text+0x1b3):
undefined reference to `fetestexcept' collect2: ld returned 1 exit
status
pwd: /path/to/android-ndk-r8/platforms/android-9/arch-x86/usr/lib
ls libm*
libm.a libm.so
It exists, but if we look with nm for feclearexcept, it isn't present within static library.
Ok, just try to remove -static flag.
/path/to/android-ndk-r8/toolchains/x86-4.4.3/prebuilt/linux-x86/bin/i686-android-linux-gcc --sysroot=/path/to/android-ndk-r8/platforms/android-9/arch-x86 -I/path/to/android-ndk-r8/sources/cxx-stl/gnu-libstdc++/include -I/path/to/android-ndk-r8/sources/cxx-stl/gnu-libstdc++/libs/x86/include -L/path/to/android-ndk-r8/sources/cxx-stl/gnu-libstdc++/lib -L/path/to/android-ndk-r8/platforms/android-9/arch-x86/usr/lib /path/to/gcc_4_4_6_release/gcc/testsuite/gcc.dg/complex-5.c -std=c99 -O -ffloat-store -o ./complex-5.exe -lm
Ok. That the question: why they are differ? I need static linkage, I don't want to force usage of dynamic linkage with -Wl,-Bdynamic -lm. By the way: regular linux libm.a and libm.so contains similar list of functions.

error linking to libgcc.a when cross-compiling for Android, but symbols exists?

I am trying to cross-compile a very simple program for Android that worked with android-ndk-r6b and prior, but does not work on android-ndk-r7 and newer:
int main() {
;
return 0;
}
I was able to do so using an "agcc" script on an older version of Android that can be found here. I'm sincerely not trying to use an Android.mk file to build this. I know I can, but this is part of something much larger I'm working on. So take it for face-value that I am trying to cross-compile this in a different way.
Anyway, I try to build and get:
$ arm-eabi-gcc -o test test.c
/home/gnychis/Documents/android/os/prebuilt/linux-x86/toolchain/arm-eabi-4.4.3/bin/../lib/gcc/arm-eabi/4.4.3/../../../../arm-eabi/bin/ld: warning: /tmp/cc00QD3x.o uses variable-size enums yet the output is to use 32-bit enums; use of enum values across objects may fail
/tmp/cc00QD3x.o:(.ARM.exidx.text.main+0x0): undefined reference to `__aeabi_unwind_cpp_pr0'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
So, the key error is the undefined reference to __aeabi_unwind_cpp_pr0.
After doing some digging, this symbol is in libgcc.a which I am linking to:
$ arm-eabi-nm /home/gnychis/Documents/android/os/prebuilt/linux-x86/toolchain/arm-eabi-4.4.3/lib/gcc/arm-eabi/4.4.3/libgcc.a | grep __aeabi_unwind_cpp_pr0
U __aeabi_unwind_cpp_pr0

00000590 T __aeabi_unwind_cpp_pr0
U __aeabi_unwind_cpp_pr0
U __aeabi_unwind_cpp_pr0
It has a 'T' which tells me that it is in the code somewhere, right?
Here is the verbose output of arm-eabi-gcc which shows I am in fact linking to this library:

So I'm just a bit unsure why I am getting this undefined reference. I have used this same method of cross-compiling with a slightly different version of Android and had no issue.

As you can see, your own object file (the temporary one) is the very last item on the command line. This is just wrong. It needs to be before the libraries, at least, if it is to link correctly.
Basically, your agcc script is passing -nostdlib (which says that you know better) and then passing the libraries manually, but doing it in completely the wrong order. If you fix this, all should be well.
Link order is very important. Objects and libraries that provide symbols must be linked after objects and libraries that require symbols.
There were certain versions of the tools that could tolerate bad ordering, but I think that was a bug, or mis-feature, because newer toolchains cannot, and should not. Presumably this script was written for one of those.
Where to find: __aeabi_unwind_cpp_pr0 and other mysterious, undefined functions
(I had a similar problem error to what you describe, but found a different solution, that may be helpful to you or others)
I found 'libgccunwind.a' library in the Google NDK package which defines a number of these mysterious functions (they are functions referenced by libc.a and other libraries in the NDK package, but not defined in a standard library) I found them defined in a libgccunwind.a library in:
\sources\android\gccunwind\libs\armeabi
NM shows that they are defined in that lib from an 'unwind-arm.o' file:
nm libgccunwind.a
unwind-arm.o:
U _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_
00000cf8 T _Unwind_Complete
00000cfc T _Unwind_DeleteException
00000ba4 T _Unwind_GetCFA
00000408 t _Unwind_GetGR
00000474 t _Unwind_SetGR
000003c4 T _Unwind_VRS_Get
0000084c T _Unwind_VRS_Pop
00000430 T _Unwind_VRS_Set
00000844 T __aeabi_unwind_cpp_pr0
0000083c W __aeabi_unwind_cpp_pr1
00000834 W __aeabi_unwind_cpp_pr2
w __cxa_begin_cleanup
w __cxa_call_unexpected
w __cxa_type_match
U __exidx_end
U __exidx_start
00000d1c T __gnu_Unwind_Backtrace
w __gnu_Unwind_Find_exidx
Independant of the libgccunwind.a above, I searched for __aeabi_unwind_cpp_pr0 and unwind-arm.c and unwind.c, and found various c source, for example:
http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/arch/arm/kernel/unwind.c?a=arm
http://opensource.apple.com/source/gcc/gcc-5646/gcc/config/arm/unwind-arm.c
These programs seem to be derived from a similar source. My guess is that these 'unwind_cpp' (and related functions) are called by the functions in libc.a when a function returns or on certain events so that these functions can perform some debugging or tracing operation.
In any event, adding that directory in a -L linker option and -lgccunwind linker option (after the -lc linker option) allowed the linker to find those 'undefined' functions -- and let me get to the next problem I have in cross compiling to ARM systems.

Building native library with standalone toolchain android arm

I am trying to build libraw as a Android shared library. It looks the lib is too complex to use with Android.mk etc, or better: I am not capable yet of doing that.
I tried the route of using a standalone toolchain from the NDK, but I am getting stuck when compiling this lib.
This is the path I take to compile the lib. Please point out if I am making obvious errors:
I downloaded the ndk.
ran: make-standalone-toolchain.sh
Added the bin folder of that standalone toolchain as first item in my PATH.
Ran ./configure with --host=arm-linux-androideabi. This succeeded
Ran make, here it crashed very fast.

make: *** [internal/dcraw_common.lo] Error 1
I doubt this error message is helpfull here at stackoverflow, but I am left wondering if I should have applied some additional flags or configuration to get this to work?
Note that I am able to compile this lib succesfully if just compiling for my system without crosscompiling. (linux 32bit).
When I am looking to a instruction for building GDAL for Android (here), it uses a additional setting of LIBS="-lsupc++ -lstdc++". This links the STL and C++ exceptions?
However, when I set those before running my configure I get immediately errors like:
configure:3018: checking whether the C++ compiler works
configure:3040: arm-linux-androideabi-g++ conftest.cpp -lsupc++ -lstdc++ >&5
/tmp/android-chain/bin/../lib/gcc/arm-linux-androideabi/4.4.3/../../../../arm-linux-androideabi/bin/ld: cannot find -lsupc++
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
So, I am a bit stuck. Someone an idea?
I had to add an implementation of the swab function, since the NDK does not have that one.
Afterwards this compiled fine (but I used the crystax ndk).
A better way toolwise was to just use a Android.mk file and use ndk-build to compile it.
Linker error from the bottom of your question occurs because make-standalone-toolchain.sh from NDK r7 creates incomplete toolchain (it misses some libraries including libsupc++.a). I recommend you try making a toolchain from one of previous NDK releases (r6b should be fine).
