如何在FAT上构建Android NDK应用

Question

I'm using the FAT32 file system in Linux (as I need to also access it on Windows and OSX), but when I compile with ndk-build I get the error

install: setting permissions for `./libs/armeabi/libfoo.so': Operation not permitted

I gather it's trying to set more restrictive permissions for the newly-created library, however you cannot change permissions on files in a FAT partition.

Is there any workaround, such as flags in the toolchain to stop it trying to change files' permissions? Or perhaps something in Linux to fake a successful permission change?

Answer 1

You might try running the NDK build under fakeroot , although I've never tried that and not sure it is applicable.

A much better solution IMHO would be to use ext3 and install drivers to access ext3 file system from Windows and MacOSX:

You can use Ext2 IFS for Windows driver to access the files from Windows and extfsx or fuse-ext2 to do the same from MacOSX
