Android NDK advanced example: build msgpack w/ the Standalone Toolchain

msgpack.sh

export NDK=/tmp/android-ndk-r8b

# 1. Use the tools from the Standalone Toolchain
export PATH=/tmp/my-android-toolchain/bin:$PATH
export SYSROOT=/tmp/my-android-toolchain/sysroot
export CC="arm-linux-androideabi-gcc --sysroot $SYSROOT"
export CXX="arm-linux-androideabi-g++ --sysroot $SYSROOT"
export CXXSTL=$NDK/sources/cxx-stl/gnu-libstdc++/4.6

# 2. Clone the Github repo and run the bootstrap actions
git clone git://github.com/msgpack/msgpack.git; cd msgpack/cpp
./preprocess
./bootstrap
mkdir build

# 3. Run the configure to target a static library for the ARMv7 ABI
./configure --prefix=$(pwd)/build \
--host=arm-linux-androideabi \
--disable-shared \
CFLAGS="-march=armv7-a" \
CXXFLAGS="-march=armv7-a -I$CXXSTL/include -I$CXXSTL/libs/armeabi-v7a/include"

# 4. Build
make && make install

# 5. Inspect the library architecture specific information
arm-linux-androideabi-readelf -A build/lib/libmsgpack.a
