| |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| android-ndk-r5b |
| |
| This release fixes a few bugs in r5. There are no new features. |
| |
| IMPORTANT BUG FIXES: |
| |
| - Fix a compiler bug in the arm-linux-androideabi-4.4.3 toolchain. |
| The previous binary generated invalid thumb instruction sequences when |
| dealing with signed chars. This problem was first reported on the |
| android-ndk forum and fixed by the following change in the toolchain |
| sources: |
| |
| https://review.source.android.com/#change,19474 |
| |
| - docs/CPLUSPLUS-SUPPORT.html: Add missing documentation for the |
| "gnustl_static" value for APP_STL, that allows you to link against |
| a static library version of GNU libstdc++. |
| |
| - ndk-build: Fix a bug that created inconsistent dependency files when a |
| compilation error occured on Windows, preventing building properly after |
| the error was fixed in the source code. |
| |
| - ndk-build: Fix a Cygwin-specific bug where using very short paths for |
| the Android NDK installation or the project path could lead to the |
| generation of invalid dependency files, making incremental builds |
| impossible. |
| |
| - Fix a typo that prevented the cpufeatures library to work correctly |
| with the new NDK toolchain. |
| |
| - Linux toolchain binaries now run on Ubuntu 8.04 or higher. |
| More specifically, the r5 binaries did require GLibc 2.11 on the host |
| system, and refused to run with previous releases due to an ABI mismatch |
| in the GNU C Library. The r5b binaries are generated with a special |
| toolchain that instead targets GLibc 2.7 or higher. |
| |
| OTHER FIXES & CHANGES: |
| |
| - ndk-build: Speed-up the Cygwin build by avoiding calling "cygpath -m" |
| from GNU Make for each and every source or object file. This was a problem |
| for users with very large source trees. |
| |
| In case this doesn't work properly, define NDK_USE_CYGPATH=1 in your |
| environment to use 'cygpath -m' as usual. |
| |
| Also, if 'cygpath' is not in your path, completely ignore it |
| (seems to be enough to run the NDK under MSys). |
| |
| - ndk-build: Handle installation paths containing spaces when checking |
| cygwin installation. Before that, the script complained that the user |
| was using an incorrect version of GNU Make (even if he had the right one). |
| |
| - Fixed a typo that prevented several NDK_MODULE_PATH to work properly when |
| it contained multiple directories separated with ":" |
| |
| - prebuilt-common.sh: Make the script check the compiler directly for 64-bit |
| generated machine code, instead of relying on the host tag. That should |
| allow the 32-bit toolchain to rebuild properly on Snow Leopard. |
| |
| - prebuilt-common.sh: Fix the toolchain rebuild scripts to work when |
| using a 32-bit host toolchain. |
| |
| - <netinet/in.h>: Add missing declaration for INET_ADDRSTRLEN |
| - <netinet/in6.h>: Add missing declaration for IN6_IS_ADDR_MC_NODELOCAL |
| and IN6_IS_ADDR_MC_GLOBAL. |
| |
| - <asm/byteorder.>: Replaced 'asm' with '__asm__' to allow compilation |
| with -std=c99. See https://review.source.android.com/#change,20076 |
| |
| - standalone toolchain: The -fpic flag is now the default for the |
| arm-linux-androideabi toolchain, instead of -fPIC. This avoids a performance |
| degradation when compared to the old android-eabi configuration. |
| |
| This only affects users of the standalone toolchain. The NDK build script |
| always enforced -fpic implicitely. |
| |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| android-ndk-r5 |
| |
| IMPORTANT BUG FIXES: |
| |
| - Allow dlclose() to properly call static C++ destructors when unloading |
| a shared library. This requires changes in both the C library and the |
| build system. IMPORTANT: This feature is only available for API level 9. |
| |
| - Fix packaging error for system libraries of level 5 and 8. The libraries |
| bundled with the NDK and used at link time were not the correct version, |
| and this prevented linking against certain symbols appropriately. |
| |
| - ndk-gdb: do not start activity unless --start or --launch is used. |
| (the documentation was correct, the implementation wrong) |
| |
| - The system headers for all API levels have been cleaned up and will |
| not provide the declarations of functions that are not available in |
| the corresponding system libraries. |
| |
| IMPORTANT CHANGES: |
| |
| - Support for API level 9, (a.k.a. Android 2.3) which adds the following |
| native features to the platform: |
| |
| - Native audio API based on the Khronos Group OpenSL ES™ 1.0.1 Standard. |
| New headers <SLES/OpenSLES.h> and <SLES/OpenSLES_Android.h> |
| are provided to allow applications targetting this API level to perform |
| audio input, output and processing directly from native code. |
| |
| - Native activity support, i.e. the ability to build applications that |
| are coded entirely in C or C++. More precisely, such applications still |
| run inside a VM, and will have to access most of the platform's features |
| using JNI (i.e. native code calling VM methods). However, this also |
| comes with a series of headers and libraries to implement the following |
| directly from native code: |
| |
| - activity lifecycle management. |
| - user input handling (touch, keyboard, trackball, ...). |
| - window management (including accessing the pixel buffer). |
| - sensor listeners (e.g. accelerometer, compass, ...). |
| - hardware configuration management. |
| - easily reading assets out of an APK from native code. |
| - access to the storage manager, a new feature of Android X.X |
| that allows one to provide Opaque Binary Objects containing |
| large amounts of data outside of the APK. |
| |
| See the documentation in docs/STABLE-APIS.html for more details. |
| |
| Note that most of these new features are targetted at game developers. |
| |
| - Improved gdbserver binary to allow debugging _threaded_ programs properly |
| with ndk-gdb (the previous binary could only set breakpoints on the main |
| thread). |
| |
| IMPORTANT: THIS ONLY WORKS IF YOU RUN ON ANDROID 2.3 OR HIGHER. |
| |
| The root cause of the problem is a platform bug that was only fixed in |
| 2.3. If you try to debug on a previous platform, the gdbserver binary |
| will only be able to set breakpoints on the main thread. |
| |
| For more information, see the specific section in docs/NDK-GDB.html. |
| |
| - Easier debuggable builds: just invoke ndk-build while defining the |
| NDK_DEBUG variable to 1, as in: |
| |
| $NDK/ndk-build NDK_DEBUG=1 |
| |
| This will have the same result that setting the android:debuggable="true" |
| in the <application> element of your AndroidManifest.xml file. See the |
| file docs/NDK-BUILD.html for more details. |
| |
| Note that you will need to use the SDKr8 build tools to use this feature |
| properly! |
| |
| - Refresh of system C++ headers: |
| |
| - Headers have been moved out of the platform directory hierarchy. |
| This is to prevent conflicts with other STLs like STLport or the |
| GNU libstdc++ which provide their own version of the headers, but |
| does not affect your builds. |
| |
| - The list of headers has grown to include the following: |
| |
| cassert, cctype, cerrno, cfloat, climits, cmath, |
| csetjmp, csignal, cstddef, cstdint, cstdio, cstdlib, |
| cstring, ctime, cwchar, new, typeinfo, utility |
| |
| Note that they still correspond to our minimal C++ runtime, no new feature |
| was introduced here. |
| |
| - Support for C++ exceptions and RTTI. See docs/CPLUSPLUS-SUPPORT.html for |
| all details (and limitations). |
| |
| - STLport implementation: Add sources and prebuilt binaries for a port of |
| the STLport C++ Standard Library (www.stlport.org), and an easy way to use |
| it at build time by defining APP_STL in your Application.mk. See |
| docs/APPLICATION-MK.html and docs/CPLUSPLUS-SUPPORT.html for all details. |
| |
| - GNU libstdc++ implementation: Available as a static library that you can |
| select for your application through APP_STL. See docs/CPLUSPLUS-SUPPORT.html |
| for all details. |
| |
| - Add support for prebuilt libraries with the PREBUILT_SHARED_LIBRARY and |
| PREBUILT_STATIC_LIBRARIES build scripts. See the new documentation |
| file named docs/PREBUILTS.html for explanations and usage examples. |
| |
| - Support for module exports: A module can now define a set of compiler or |
| linker flags that will be automatically 'imported' by any other module that |
| depends on it, through LOCAL_STATIC_LIBRARIES or LOCAL_SHARED_LIBRARIES. |
| |
| This is achieved with the help of new Android.mk variables named |
| LOCAL_EXPORT_CFLAGS, LOCAL_EXPORT_CPPFLAGS, LOCAL_EXPORT_C_INCLUDES and |
| LOCAL_EXPORT_LDLIBS. See docs/ANDROID-MK.html for mode documentation, and |
| a 'samples/module-exports' for a sample project that uses this. |
| |
| - Add support to specify a different file name for generated files, through |
| the new LOCAL_MODULE_FILENAME variable. See docs/ANDROID-MK.html for an |
| example. |
| |
| - Add support for module imports, through the NDK_MODULE_PATH environment |
| variable and the new 'import-module' function. This allows you to avoid |
| hard-coding the path of third-party modules into your project files. |
| |
| See docs/IMPORT-MODULE.html for details. |
| |
| - Add the content of LOCAL_C_INCLUDES to gdb.setup to make native debugging |
| easier. Also fixes an issue that prevented clean parallel builds of |
| debuggable applications to work correctly. This fixes an error message that |
| said: |
| |
| /bin/sh: <project>/libs/armeabi/gdb.setup: No such file or directory |
| |
| When doing a "ndk-build -j<number>", with <number> bigger than 1. |
| |
| - Add support for assembly-level source filtering. See the description of |
| LOCAL_FILTER_ASM in docs/ANDROID-MK.html for more details. This can be useful |
| for certain kinds of obfuscation tasks. |
| |
| - This NDK comes with a new toolchain (named arm-linux-androideabi-4.4.3) |
| which provides many benefits, including: |
| |
| - Better code generation than the previous one (gcc-4.4.0) |
| - On Windows, the binaries do not depend on Cygwin anymore. |
| - The ability to use it as a stand-alone cross-compiler |
| (see docs/STANDALONE-TOOLCHAIN.html for all details). |
| |
| The binaries for gcc-4.4.0 are still provided for backwards compatibility. |
| Use NDK_TOOLCHAIN=arm-eabi-4.4.0 in your environment to force its usage. |
| Note that it is now deprecated and will be removed in a future NDK release. |
| |
| IMPORTANT: The old toolchain doesn't properly support exceptions, RTTI, |
| STLport and GNU libstdc++. |
| |
| The binaries for the already-deprecated gcc-4.2.1 have been removed. |
| |
| - The 'cpufeatures' library has been updated to provide better architecture |
| and features detection (including a work-around for buggy ARMv6 kernels |
| which report an architecture version of 7). |
| |
| The library is now also available as an import module, to simplify its |
| usage in your build scripts. See the updated docs/CPU-FEATURES.html file |
| for details. |
| |
| NOTE: Please update your Android.mk to use module imports as soon as |
| possible. The location $NDK/source/cpufeatures/ is deprecated |
| and will be removed in a future NDK release. Avoid referencing |
| it directly in your build scritps! |
| |
| OTHER FIXES AND CHANGES: |
| |
| - Reduced the size of generated binaries by using --strip-unneeded |
| instead of --strip-debug. This gets rid of mor symbol table entries |
| in release shared libraries and executables, without impacting |
| runtime execution. |
| |
| - Fix bad automatic dependency tracking when using multiple source |
| sub-directories. |
| |
| - The path to system headers is now included last in the compilation command |
| line. This prevents conflicts with source code that define their own headers |
| with similar names (e.g. a custom "err.h" was ignored, because the system |
| <err.h> was used instead). |
| |
| - Update documentation for 'my-dir' function to explain that, due to the |
| way GNU Make works, it really returns the path of the last included |
| Makefile (instead of the current one). Also provide examples on how |
| to deal with it. |
| |
| - make-release.sh: Now has an --out-dir=<path> option to specify the |
| output directory where the packages are going to be copied. Also |
| ensure that generated packages have go+r permissions. |
| |
| - ndk-build will now properly escape arguments. This means that something |
| like this: |
| |
| ndk-build MY_CFLAGS="-DFOO -DBAR" |
| |
| will now work correctly. |
| |
| - Add --git-http option to download-toolchain-sources.sh and |
| rebuild-all-prebuilt.sh in order to download sources from |
| android.git.kernel.org through HTTP. |
| |
| - ndk-gdb: properly launch activities for which name does not contain any dot. |
| |
| - ndk-gdb: add --delay=<timeout> option to specify a delay in seconds |
| between activity launch and gdbserver attach. This is needed because certain |
| activities can take a long time to properly launch. The default delay is |
| also increased to 2 seconds (instead of 1). |
| |
| - build/tools/build-gcc.sh: copy the sysroot to the build directory. This |
| avoids the generated toolchain binaries from hard-coding host build paths. |
| |
| - Platform files are now under $NDK/platforms instead of $NDK/build/platforms |
| |
| - Toolchain files are now under $NDK/toolchains instead of |
| $NDK/build/toolchains and $NDK/build/prebuilt. |
| |
| - Release and debug objects are stored under two different directories now |
| (i.e. obj/local/<abi>/objs and obj/local/<abi>/objs-debug). This |
| prevents rebuilding *everything* when you switch between these two modes, |
| which can be a real time-saver for complex projects. |
| |
| - Fixed a bug that duplicated the LOCAL_LDFLAGS in the final link command |
| when LOCAL_ALLOW_UNDEFINED_SYMBOLS was not set to 'true' |
| |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| android-ndk-r4b |
| |
| This release fixes a few bugs in r4 scripts. There are no new features. |
| |
| OTHER FIXES & CHANGES: |
| |
| - build/tools/rebuild-all-prebuilt.sh: mktemp expects 'XXXXXX' instead of 'XXX'. |
| Fix the script (and others in the same directory) to do that properly. |
| |
| - ndk-gdb: check the target device's API level, and dump an error message if |
| it is not at least 8 (Android 2.2 a.k.a. Froyo). Fix script to properly |
| remove control characters like '\r' from adb shell's output. Also fix |
| script to work properly with OS X's BSD awk. |
| |
| - ndk-build: Make AndroidManifest.xml optional. Now the build scripts will try |
| to look for jni/Android.mk if no manifest is found. If you don't use this, |
| you can also define NDK_PROJECT_PATH to point to your tree. |
| |
| Also, on Windows, check that a Cygwin-compatible make executable is being |
| used, and dump a readable help message to solve the issue if this is not |
| the case. |
| |
| - Place generated binaries under $PROJECT_PATH/obj/ instead of |
| $PROJECT_PATH/bin/ndk/. The 'bin' directory is sometimes cleaned |
| by the JDT, resulting in the inability to properly load symbol versions |
| of the shared libraries when running ndk-gdb. |
| |
| - Warn when sources with unsupported extensions are used in LOCAL_SRC_FILES. |
| Previous behaviour was to silently ignore them. |
| |
| - Set the optimization mode to 'debug' automatically if the manifest sets |
| android:debuggable to 'true'. You can override this by using |
| 'APP_OPTIM := release' in your Application.mk, or by adding '-O2' to |
| your LOCAL_CFLAGS. |
| |
| Note that even in release mode, the NDK build scripts will produce |
| binaries with symbols under obj/local/<abi>/ that will be used for |
| debugging with gdb. However, the debugger will have a harder time to |
| print proper local variable values that have been optimized out or |
| even set breakpoints properly. |
| |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| android-ndk-r4 |
| |
| IMPORTANT BUG FIXES: |
| |
| - The <fenv.h> header was not placed in the correct location and could not |
| be found by normal builds. |
| |
| IMPORTANT CHANGES: |
| |
| - On Windows, Cygwin 1.7 or higher is now required. The NDK will not |
| work properly with Cygwin 1.5 which is now officially obsolete |
| anyway. |
| |
| - Simplified build system: You no longer need to run build/host-setup.sh |
| or modify anything under $NDK_ROOT/apps/. Instead, just invoke the |
| new 'ndk-build' script from your application's project directory, or |
| one of its sub-directories. |
| |
| See docs/OVERVIEW.html and docs/NDK-BUILD.html for more details. |
| |
| NOTE: For compatibility purpose, you can still define projects |
| through $NDK_ROOT/apps/<name> though. |
| |
| However, not that sample applications have moved from |
| 'apps/<name>/project' to 'samples/<name>' and now must |
| be built with 'ndk-build'. The source code of pre-existing |
| samples didn't change though. |
| |
| - Easy native debugging support when running debuggable applications |
| on Android 2.2 or higher, through the new 'ndk-gdb' helper script. |
| See docs/NDK-GDB.html for details. |
| |
| - Support for hardware FPU. This is through the new 'armeabi-v7a' ABI |
| corresponding to ARMv7-a class devices. |
| |
| Note that by default, the NDK will still generate machine code for the old |
| 'armeabi' ABI (ARMv5TE based) which is supported by all official Android |
| system images to date. |
| |
| You will need to define APP_ABI in your Application.mk file to change this. |
| See docs/APPLICATION-MK.html |
| |
| More details about ABIs is now available in docs/CPU-ARCH-ABIS.html |
| |
| - A small static library named 'cpufeatures' is provided with source code |
| and can be used at runtime to determine the CPU features supported by the |
| target device. It should run on all Android platforms, starting from 1.5. |
| |
| For more information, see docs/CPU-FEATURES.html |
| |
| - Support for the optional ARM Advanced SIMD (a.k.a. NEON) instruction set |
| extension through the use the LOCAL_ARM_NEON variable in Android.mk, or |
| the '.neon' suffix when listing source files. |
| |
| Neon is an *optional* instruction set extension, and not all Android ARMv7 |
| devices will support it. You will need to use the 'cpufeatures' library to |
| determine if such code can be used at runtime, and provide alternate code |
| paths if this is not the case. This is similar to MMX/SSE/3DNow on x86 |
| platforms. |
| |
| For more information, see docs/CPU-ARM-NEON.html |
| |
| - Added a new sample (hello-neon) to demonstrate usage of 'cpufeatures' |
| and NEON intrinsics and build support. |
| |
| - Added <android/bitmap.h>, a new stable API available from android-8 |
| (a.k.a. Android 2.2) to reliably access the pixel buffer of an |
| android.graphics.Bitmap object from native code. See docs/STABLE-API.html |
| and the new sample program under 'samples/bitmap-plasma' for details |
| and usage example. |
| |
| - Support the NX (No Execute) security feature, where special sections |
| are added to the generated shared libraries to instruct the kernel |
| that code shall not be executed from the heap and stack by default. |
| |
| See docs/ANDROID-MK.html to see how to disable this, plus reference |
| links for more information. |
| |
| OTHER FIXES AND CHANGES: |
| |
| - support the .s extension for raw assembly sources (.S is already supported |
| but the input files are parsed by the C-preprocessor before being sent to |
| the assembler). |
| |
| - build/host-setup.sh has been removed. There is no need for a 'setup' step |
| when using the NDK for the first time. All host-specific autodetection and |
| basic tool sanity checking have been moved to the build scripts themselves. |
| |
| - APP_MODULES in Application.mk is now optional. If not defined, the NDK |
| will simply build _all_ the modules that are declared from your Android.mk. |
| |
| You can still use APP_MODULES to restrict the set of modules you want to |
| build. Note that the NDK now computes the transitive dependencies of these |
| modules for you now. See docs/APPLICATION-MK.html for details. |
| |
| - docs/STABLE-APIS.html: Add missing section for Dynamic Linker Library |
| (libdl.so). It is actually supported by all API levels. |
| |
| - build/tools/download-toolchain-sources.sh: Use 'master' branch by default |
| instead of the 'eclair' one. |
| |
| - build-toolchain.sh: Allow ad-hoc patching of toolchain sources when rebuilding |
| them. This is primarily to ease development. All you need to do is put a patch |
| under build/tools/toolchain-patches/<foo>/<name>.patch, and it will be applied |
| with 'patch -p1' into the <foo> directory of the unpacked toolchain sources |
| before the configure step. |
| |
| - docs/CPU-ARCH-ABIS.html: Mention the experimental 'x86' ABI. |
| |
| - build/core/mkdeps.sh: Removed obsolete script. |
| |
| - the NDK build script now only parses the Application.mk and Android.mk of |
| the applications listed by APP. The error messages when APP is empty or |
| malformed have also been improved. |
| |
| - removed the annoying 'the mangling of 'va_list' has changed in GCC 4.4' |
| warning when building with GCC 4.4.0 for ARM. |
| |
| - C Library header fixes: |
| |
| For all platforms: |
| |
| - <arpa/inet.h>: no longer includes <netinet/in6.h>. |
| - <ctype.h>: better inlining with -ansi option. |
| - <mntent.h>: add missing include for <stdio.h>. |
| - <netinet/in.h>: include <netinet/in6.h> and define in6addr_any + |
| in6addr_loopback. |
| - <netinet/in6.h>: add IPV6_JOIN_GROUP, IPV6_LEAVE_GROUP, |
| IN6ADDR_ANY_INIT, ipv6mr_interface. |
| - <sys/epoll.h>: add missing C++ inclusion guards. |
| - <sys/resource.h>: add missing rlim_t declaration. |
| - <sys/system_properties.h>: add missing C++ inclusion guards. |
| - <time64.h>: add missing C++ inclusion guards. |
| - <netdb.h>: move h_errno declaration inside C++ inclusion guards. |
| |
| - C Library changes: |
| |
| For android-8 (a.k.a. Android 2.2): |
| |
| - <dlfcn.h>: add DL_info and dladdr(). |
| - <err.h>: add err(), warn() and other variants. |
| - <regex.h>, <fts.h>, <sys/queue.h>: added |
| - <pthread.h>: add pthread_condattr_t |
| - <sched.h>: added proper clone() declaration (and implementation). |
| - <signal.h>: added killpg(). |
| - <stdio.h>: add fdprintf() and vfdprintf(). |
| - <stdlib.h>: fix ptsname_r() signature in declaration. previous |
| implementation was broken anyway. |
| - <unistd.h>: add getusershell(), setusershell(), endusershell(), |
| ttyname(), ttyname_r(), TEMP_FAILURE_RETRY. Fix usleep() signature |
| (now returns int). |
| - <wchar.h>: add fake mbstowcs() and wcstombs(). |
| |
| More details available under docs/system/libc/CHANGES.html |

| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| android-ndk-r3 |
| |
| IMPORTANT BUG FIXES: |
| |
| - Fix build/host-setup.sh to execute as a Bourne shell script (again) |
| |
| - Make target shared libraries portable to systems that don't use the exact |
| same toolchain. This is needed due to differences in libgcc.a implementations |
| between gcc 4.2.1 and 4.4.0. This change ensures that generated machine |
| code doesn't depend on helper functions provided by the Android platform |
| runtime. |
| |
| |
| IMPORTANT CHANGES: |
| |
| - GCC 4.4.0 is now used by default by the NDK. It generates better code than |
| GCC 4.2.1, which was used in previous releases. However, the compiler's C++ |
| frontend is also a lot more pedantic regarding certain template constructs |
| and will even refuse to build some of them. |
| |
| For this reason, the NDK also comes with GCC 4.2.1 prebuilt binaries, and |
| you can force its usage by defining NDK_TOOLCHAIN in your environment to |
| the value 'arm-eabi-4.2.1'. For example: |
| |
| export NDK_TOOLCHAIN=arm-eabi-4.2.1 |
| make APP=hello-jni |
| |
| Note that only the 'armeabi' ABI is supported by the 4.2.1 toolchain. We |
| recommend switching to 4.2.1 *only* if you encounter compilation problems |
| with 4.4.0. |
| |
| The 4.2.1 prebuilt binaries will probably be removed from a future release |
| of the Android NDK, we thus *strongly* invite you to fix your code if such |
| problems happen. |
| |
| - Support for OpenGL ES 2.0. This is through the new 'android-5' platform to |
| reflect Android 2.0 (previously the Eclair branch). This is merely a copy |
| of android-4 that also includes headers and libraries for OpenGL ES 2.0. |
| |
| See the sample named "hello-gl2" for a *very* basic demonstration. Note that |
| OpenGL ES 2.0 is currently *not* available from Java, and must be used |
| through native code exclusively. |
| |
| IMPORTANT: OpenGL ES 2.0 is not supported in the Android emulator at this |
| time. Running/testing any native code that depends on it thus |
| requires a real device. |
| |
| - The NDK build script will now remove installed binaries from the application |
| project's path before starting the build. This ensures that: |
| |
| - if the build fails for some reason, a stale/obsolete file is not left in |
| your application project tree by mistake. |
| |
| - if you change the target ABI, a stale/obsolete file is not left into the |
| folder corresponding to the old ABI. |
| |
| |
| - Updated the STABLE-APIS.html document to clarify the OpenGL ES 1.0/1.1/2.0 |
| issues regarding specific devices (i.e. 1.0 supported everywhere, 1.1 and |
| 2.0 on specific devices only, need for <uses-feature> tag in manifest). |
| |
| |
| OTHER FIXES AND CHANGES: |
| |
| - Actually use the awk version detected by host-setup.sh during the build. |
| |
| - Only allow undefined symbols when LOCAL_ALLOW_UNDEFINED_SYMBOLS is set |
| to 'true', just like the documentation says it works. Also fix a typo |
| in CLEAR_VARS that prevented this variable from being cleared properly. |
| |
| - Simplified build/tools/make-release.sh, the --prebuilt-dir option is |
| gone, and --help will dump a clearer description of expected options |
| and input files. |
| |
| - Added --prebuilt-ndk=FILE option to build/tools/make-release.sh script to |
| package a new experimental NDK package archive from the current source tree |
| plus the toolchain binaries of an existing NDK release package. E.g.: |
| |
| build/tools/make-release.sh \ |
| --prebuilt-ndk=/path/to/android-ndk-1.6_r1-linux-x86.zip |
| |
| will generate a new NDK package in /tmp/ndk-release that contains the most |
| up-to-date build scripts, plus the toolchain binaries from 1.6_r1 (which |
| are not in the git repository). |
| |
| Also added the --no-git option to collect all sources from the current |
| NDK root directory, instead of the list given by 'git ls-files'. This can |
| be useful if you don't want to checkout the whole 'platform/development' |
| project from repo and still work on the NDK. |
| |
| This change is to help people easily package experimental NDK releases to |
| test and distribute fixes and improvements. |
| |
| - Remove bash-isms from build/tools/build-toolchain.sh. Now it's possible to |
| build it with the 'dash' shell on Debian-based systems (tested on Ubuntu 8.04) |
| |
| - Remove bash-ism from build/tools/build-ndk-sysroot.sh |
| |
| - Refresh C library headers for all platforms: |
| |
| - make <endian.h> simply include <sys/endian.h> |
| - make <stdint.h> properly declare 64-bit integer types with a C99 compiler |
| - add missing <sys/types.h> to <strings.h> |
| - add GLibc-compatible macro aliases (st_atimensec, st_mtimensec and |
| st_ctimensec) to <stat.h> |
| - add missing declaration for tzset() in <time.h> |
| |
| - Added build/tools/download-toolchain-sources.sh, a script that allows you |
| to download the toolchain sources from the official open-source repository |
| at android.git.kernel.org and nicely package them into a tarball that can |
| later be used by build/tools/build-toolchain.sh to rebuild the prebuilt |
| binaries for your system. |
| |
| - Updated build/tools/build-toolchain.sh to support the tarballs generated |
| by download-toolchain-sources.sh with the --package=<file> option. This |
| also builds both gcc 4.2.1 and 4.4.0, adding support for armeabi-v7a to |
| gcc 4.4.0. |
| |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| android-ndk-1.6_r1 |
| |
| IMPORTANT BUG FIXES: |
| |
| - Fix build/host-setup.sh to: |
| * execute as a Bourne shell script |
| * remove unused host gcc dependency |
| * improve Windows host auto-detection |
| * add GNU Make version check |
| * add Nawk/Gawk check |
| * ensure that the script is run from $NDKROOT as build/host-setup.sh |
| * add --help, --verbose, --no-awk-check and --no-make-check options |
| |
| - Properly add sysroot library search path at build time. This makes a line |
| in Android.mk like: |
| |
| LOCAL_LDLIBS := -lz |
| |
| Actually work correctly, instead of having the linker complaining that it |
| could not find the corresponding libz.so library. Also clear LOCAL_LDLIBS |
| in $(CLEAR_VARS) script. |
| |
| |
| IMPORTANT CHANGES: |
| |
| - The 'sources' directory is gone. The NDK build system now looks for |
| $(APP_PROJECT_PATH)/jni/Android.mk by default. You can override this with |
| the new APP_BUILD_SCRIPT variable in Application.mk |
| |
| For example, the 'hello-jni' sample uses the following files: |
| |
| apps/hello-jni/project/jni/Android.mk |
| apps/hello-jni/project/jni/hello-jni.c |
| |
| The 'apps/<name>' directory is still needed in this release though. |
| |
| - Change LOCAL_CFLAGS / LOCAL_CPPFLAGS to work as in the full Android build |
| system. This means that: |
| |
| - LOCAL_CFLAGS is now used for *both* C and C++ sources (was only for C) |
| - LOCAL_CPPFLAGS is now used for C++ sources only (was for both C and C++) |
| - LOCAL_CXXFLAGS is used like LOCAL_CPPFLAGS but is considered obsolete. |
| (will disappear in next release) |
| |
| Also fixed APP_CPPFLAGS / APP_CFLAGS / APP_CXXFLAGS correspondingly. |
| |
| - Rename build/platforms/android-1.5 to build/platforms/android-3 to match |
| the Android API level instead of the marketing speak. |
| |
| Also add a new build/platforms/android-4, and make the build system select |
| which platform to use based on the content of the project file named |
| $(APP_PROJECT_PATH)/default.properties. |
| |
| - Add OpenGL ES 1.x headers and libraries to the android-4 stable APIs. |
| (NOTE: they are *not* available for android-3) |
| |
| Also provide a small port of the "San Angeles Observation" demo to show |
| how to make a simple Android application that uses them. |
| |
| |
| OTHER FIXES AND CHANGES |
| |
| - Ensure that the __ANDROID__ macro is always defined when building code |
| with the NDK. Normally, the macro must be defined by the toolchain |
| automatically to indicate that you're targetting the Android runtime. |
| |
| This works for the new arm-linux-androideabi toolchain, but there is |
| a bug in the way we built the arm-eabi one, so add the flag manually |
| through the NDK build script for it. |
| |
| Note that the ANDROID macro, is now deprecated. While it is still defined |
| by the NDK, you should modify your code to test against __ANDROID__ instead! |
| |
| - Generate thumb binaries by default. |
| |
| - Add support for LOCAL_ARM_MODE in Android.mk. |
| |
| - Add support for the '.arm' suffix in source file names to force the |
| compilation of a single source in arm (32-bit) mode. |
| |
| - Generate proper unoptimized versions of binaries when APP_OPTIM := debug |
| |
| - Add support for LOCAL_C_INCLUDES in Android.mk |
| |
| - Fix compilation of assembler files (e.g. foo.S) |
