Android and cross-compiling

Question

I have a Linux library that needs to be compiled under Android. I understand that should be used to build this program: / home/user/android-ndk/build/prebuilt/linux-x86/arm-eabi-4.4.0/bin/arm-eabi-gcc and then compile a ndk-build. I think right? Assembly via the utility should work correctly?

Answer 1

You need to install the Native Development Kit (NDK) and read through the documentation in the NDK about the build process. The NDK basic info is at http://developer.android.com/sdk/ndk/index.html , and you'll need to install an appropriate version of Cygwin (if you're using Windows).

It comes with a prebuilt compiler, so you shouldn't have to rebuild that.
