In many locations, the files have been converted to markdown syntactically, but don't utilize the power of markdown yet.

Notes for Android platforms
|
|
===========================
|
|
|
|
Requirement details
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
Beside basic tools like perl and make you'll need to download the Android
|
|
NDK. It's available for Linux, macOS and Windows, but only Linux
|
|
version was actually tested. There is no reason to believe that macOS
|
|
wouldn't work. And as for Windows, it's unclear which "shell" would be
|
|
suitable, MSYS2 might have best chances. NDK version should play lesser
|
|
role, the goal is to support a range of most recent versions.
|
|
|
|
Configuration
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
Android is a cross-compiled target and you can't rely on `./Configure`
|
|
to find out the configuration target for you. You have to name your
|
|
target explicitly; there are `android-arm`, `android-arm64`, `android-mips`,
|
|
`android-mip64`, `android-x86` and `android-x86_64` (`*MIPS` targets are no
|
|
longer supported with NDK R20+).
|
|
|
|
Do not pass --cross-compile-prefix (as you might be tempted), as it
|
|
will be "calculated" automatically based on chosen platform. However,
|
|
you still need to know the prefix to extend your PATH, in order to
|
|
invoke `$(CROSS_COMPILE)clang` [`*gcc` on NDK 19 and lower] and company.
|
|
(`./Configure` will fail and give you a hint if you get it wrong.)
|
|
|
|
Apart from `PATH` adjustment you need to set `ANDROID_NDK_ROOT` environment
|
|
to point at the `NDK` directory. If you're using a side-by-side NDK the path
|
|
will look something like `/some/where/android-sdk/ndk/<ver>`, and for a
|
|
standalone NDK the path will be something like `/some/where/android-ndk-<ver>`.
|
|
Both variables are significant at both configuration and compilation times.
|
|
The NDK customarily supports multiple Android API levels, e.g. `android-14`,
|
|
`android-21`, etc. By default latest API level is chosen. If you need to target
|
|
an older platform pass the argument `-D__ANDROID_API__=N` to `Configure`,
|
|
with `N` being the numerical value of the target platform version. For example,
|
|
to compile for Android 10 arm64 with a side-by-side NDK r20.0.5594570
|
|
|
|
export ANDROID_NDK_ROOT=/home/whoever/Android/android-sdk/ndk/20.0.5594570
|
|
PATH=$ANDROID_NDK_ROOT/toolchains/llvm/prebuilt/linux-x86_64/bin:$ANDROID_NDK_ROOT/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.9/prebuilt/linux-x86_64/bin:$PATH
|
|
./Configure android-arm64 -D__ANDROID_API__=29
|
|
make
|
|
|
|
Older versions of the NDK have GCC under their common prebuilt tools
|
|
directory, so the bin path will be slightly different. EG: to compile
|
|
for ICS on ARM with NDK 10d:
|
|
|
|
export ANDROID_NDK_ROOT=/some/where/android-ndk-10d
|
|
PATH=$ANDROID_NDK_ROOT/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.8/prebuilt/linux-x86_64/bin:$PATH
|
|
./Configure android-arm -D__ANDROID_API__=14
|
|
make
|
|
|
|
Caveat lector! Earlier OpenSSL versions relied on additional `CROSS_SYSROOT`
|
|
variable set to `$ANDROID_NDK_ROOT/platforms/android-<api>/arch-<arch>` to
|
|
appoint headers-n-libraries' location. It's still recognized in order
|
|
to facilitate migration from older projects. However, since API level
|
|
appears in `CROSS_SYSROOT` value, passing `-D__ANDROID_API__=N` can be in
|
|
conflict, and mixing the two is therefore not supported. Migration to
|
|
`CROSS_SYSROOT`-less setup is recommended.
|
|
|
|
One can engage clang by adjusting PATH to cover same NDK's clang. Just
|
|
keep in mind that if you miss it, Configure will try to use gcc...
|
|
Also, PATH would need even further adjustment to cover unprefixed, yet
|
|
target-specific, ar and ranlib. It's possible that you don't need to
|
|
bother, if binutils-multiarch is installed on your Linux system.
|
|
|
|
Another option is to create so called "standalone toolchain" tailored
|
|
for single specific platform including Android API level, and assign its
|
|
location to `ANDROID_NDK_ROOT`. In such case you have to pass matching
|
|
target name to Configure and shouldn't use `-D__ANDROID_API__=N`. `PATH`
|
|
adjustment becomes simpler, `$ANDROID_NDK_ROOT/bin:$PATH` suffices.
|
|
|
|
Running tests (on Linux)
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
This is not actually supported. Notes are meant rather as inspiration.
|
|
|
|
Even though build output targets alien system, it's possible to execute
|
|
test suite on Linux system by employing qemu-user. The trick is static
|
|
linking. Pass -static to Configure, then edit generated Makefile and
|
|
remove occurrences of -ldl and -pie flags. You would also need to pick
|
|
API version that comes with usable static libraries, 42/2=21 used to
|
|
work. Once built, you should be able to
|
|
|
|
env EXE_SHELL=qemu-<arch> make test
|
|
|
|
If you need to pass additional flag to qemu, quotes are your friend, e.g.
|
|
|
|
env EXE_SHELL="qemu-mips64el -cpu MIPS64R6-generic" make test
|
