我可以在Embarcadero C ++ Builder中为Android（* .so）建立共享库吗？

Question

I am trying to create a shared library, using Embarcadero's C++Builder and RAD Studio 10.2. I created a C++Builder "Dynamic Linked Library" project. When I specify the target platforms to build for, the only options are 32-bit Windows, 64-bit Windows, and OS X. I need to be able to build the library for the Android (Linux) platform as well. How can I accomplish this?

At this time, RADStudio (including Delphi and C++Builder) does not support the creation of custom .so libraries for Android (only consuming them). Per the documentation , .so files can be created for Linux (and .dylib files for OSX/iOS) by creating a Delphi-style Package instead of a Dynamic-Link Library.

RADStudio-created Android apps are compiled as .so files (because they are based on the NDK, so the real app is just a small Java stub class that loads and executes the .so at runtime), but that is the extent of Embarcadero's .so generation on Android. Compiling custom .so libraries for Android is simply not supported yet.
