Script to build autotools-based library project for Android with configurable settings
Place androidbuildlib at your executable path i.e. /usr/local/bin/ or even sym-link it as per your convenient.
Then you're ready to use it.
cd to your target autotools-based library project.
Then execute androidbuildlib.
By default it will build the libraries according to what has been set in Makefile.am according to autotools way; into build/ directory for 4 target architectures namely armeabi-v7a, x86, arm64-v8a and x86_64.
You have the following configurable settings
out_path- target installation path to install generated library files for all archs, it need to be in relative path from the directory executing this script [default isbuild]host_tag- host value that will build the library (hint: you can take a look for this value at your$ANDROID_NDK_HOME/toolchains/llvm/prebuilt/[default islinux-x86_64]minsdkversion- minimum sdk version to support, this is value of api level [default is 18]target_abis- target abis to build for, separated by space [default is "armeabi-v7a x86 arm64-v8a x86_64"]configure_params- addtitional parameters to add to./configure. [default is empty]fresh_build- whether or not this is a fresh build, user might be using this when repeatitively build the same project over and over i.e. while debugging, so there's no need to keep re-execute './configure' and 'make clean' again. [default is true]
To execute with custom settings, you do it like this
androidbuildlib out_path=mybuild target_abis="armeabi-v7a x86"
That will build for target armeabi-v7a and x86, then put the result library files into mybuild directory. Other default settings are applied, so it is built against api level 18, and on linux 64-bit as host.
Use androidbuildlib --help to show help text.
For now, it only works for a library project that depends on standard libraries which Android already provided like libz etc. But it won't work if the library project depends on something else custom.
