Subject: [Boost-users] Boost and Android NDK
Hello,
I would like to use Boost on Nexus tablets. I have used Boost at the moment on
desktop systems (OSX, Linux, Windows), so my question can I use Boost e.g.
random,
asio, ublas, . on a Nexus? I would like to build Boost myself, so imho I must
build
Boost with the NDK compilers and linker, is this correct?
Can I build Boost libs in "one shot"? So the NDK has got tools for arm-linux,
mipsel-
linux and so on. Does anybody can tell me any hopeful tips to use Boost with
Android
Before you start worrying about 'building Boost', are you certain you need/want
Boost libraries that *must be built*, rather than just #include headers?
Does exist a official build option for Android NDK?
and I use the current NDK r9d for OSX. The Android NDK defined these toolchains:
arm-linux-androideabi-4.6
arm-linux-androideabi-4.8
arm-linux-androideabi-clang3.3
arm-linux-androideabi-clang3.4
llvm-3.3
llvm-3.4
mipsel-linux-android-4.6
mipsel-linux-android-4.8
mipsel-linux-android-clang3.3
mipsel-linux-android-clang3.4
x86-4.6
x86-4.8
x86-clang3.3
x86-clang3.4
I use at the moment for the Nexus arm-linux-androideabi-4.8.
I have defined this for running
export NO_BZIP2=1
export NO_ZLIB=1
export AndroidNDKRoot="/Applications/Android/NDK/"
export TOOLCHAIN="arm-linux-androideabi-4.8"
export TARGETOS="arm-linux-androideabi-gcc"
export CXXPATH=$AndroidNDKRoot/toolchains/${TOOLCHAIN}/prebuilt/darwin-x86_64/bin
./b2 link=static threading=multi variant=release install --layout=tagged --prefix=/Applications/Android/Boost/1.55.0/$TOOLCHAIN/
So I get the error:
error: toolset gcc initialization:
error: version 'android' requested but 'g++-android' not found and version '4.2.1' of default 'g++' does not match
How can I get a working build configuration? I don't create a cross-compiling Boost lib, so it is my first try.
Thanks a lot
Phil
