How to cross-compile for Android. These notes were last updated on
|
|
17 Feb 2012, for Valgrind SVN revision 12390/2257.
|
|
|
|
This is known to work at least for :
|
|
Android 4.0.3 running on a (rooted, AOSP build) Nexus S.
|
|
Android 4.0.3 running on Motorola Xoom.
|
|
Android 4.0.3 running on android emulator.
|
|
|
|
Android 2.3.4 on Nexus S worked at some time in the past.
|
|
It is known not to work on Android 4.1 running on android emulator.
|
|
|
|
Other configurations and toolchains might work, but haven't been tested.
|
|
Feedback is welcome.

You need the android-ndk-r6 native development kit. r6b and r7
|
|
give a non-completely-working build; see
|
|
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=23203
|
|
For the android emulator, the versions needed and how to
|
|
install them are described in README.android_emulator.
|
|
|
|
Install it somewhere. Doesn't matter where. Then do this:
|
|
|
|
|
|
# Modify this (obviously). Note, this "export" command is only done
|
|
# so as to reduce the amount of typing required. None of the commands
|
|
# below read it as part of their operation.
|
|
#
|
|
export NDKROOT=/path/to/android-ndk-r6
|
|
|
|
|
|
# Modify this too. Tell the build system which Android hardware you
|
|
# are building for. It needs to know this so it can compile in
|
|
# support for the right Android-hw-specific ioctls. (sigh.) As with
|
|
# NDKROOT above, this is merely to avoid repeated typing; none of the
|
|
# commands read it.
|
|
#
|
|
# Currently the supported values are: nexus_s pandaboard
|
|
# So choose one of the below:
|
|
#
|
|
export HWKIND=nexus_s # Samsung Nexus S; also Xoom (for now)
|
|
export HWKIND=pandaboard # Pandaboard running Linaro Android
|
|
export HWKIND=emulator # Android emulator
|
|
|
|
# Then cd to the root of your Valgrind source tree.
|
|
#
|
|
cd /path/to/valgrind/source/tree
|
|
|
|
|
|
# After this point, you don't need to modify anything; just copy and
|
|
# paste the commands below.
|
|
|
|
|
|
# Set up toolchain paths.
|
|
#
|
|
export AR=$NDKROOT/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.4.3/prebuilt/linux-x86/bin/arm-linux-androideabi-ar
|
|
export LD=$NDKROOT/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.4.3/prebuilt/linux-x86/bin/arm-linux-androideabi-ld
|
|
export CC=$NDKROOT/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.4.3/prebuilt/linux-x86/bin/arm-linux-androideabi-gcc
|
|
|
|
|
|
# Do configuration stuff. Don't mess with the --prefix in the
|
|
# configure command below, even if you think it's wrong.
|
|
# You may need to set the --with-tmpdir path to something
|
|
# different if /sdcard doesn't work on the device -- this is
|
|
# a known cause of difficulties.
|
|
|
|
./autogen.sh
|
|
|
|
CPPFLAGS="--sysroot=$NDKROOT/platforms/android-3/arch-arm -DANDROID_HARDWARE_$HWKIND" \
|
|
CFLAGS="--sysroot=$NDKROOT/platforms/android-3/arch-arm" \
|
|
./configure --prefix=/data/local/Inst \
|
|
--host=armv7-unknown-linux --target=armv7-unknown-linux \
|
|
--with-tmpdir=/sdcard
|
|
# note: on android emulator, android-14 platform was also tested and works.
|
|
# It is not clear what this platform nr really is.
|
|
|
|
# At the end of the configure run, a few lines of details
|
|
# are printed. Make sure that you see these two lines:
|
|
#
|
|
# Platform variant: android
|
|
# Primary -DVGPV string: -DVGPV_arm_linux_android=1
|
|
#
|
|
# If you see anything else at this point, something is wrong, and
|
|
# either the build will fail, or will succeed but you'll get something
|
|
# which won't work.
|
|
|
|
|
|
# Build, and park the install tree in `pwd`/Inst
|
|
#
|
|
make -j2
|
|
make -j2 install DESTDIR=`pwd`/Inst
|
|
|
|
|
|
# To get the install tree onto the device:
|
|
# (I don't know why it's not "adb push Inst /data/local", but this
|
|
# formulation does appear to put the result in /data/local/Inst.)
|
|
#
|
|
adb push Inst /
|
|
|
|
# To run (on the device)
|
|
/data/local/Inst/bin/valgrind [the usual args etc]
|
|
|
|
|
|
# Once you're up and running, a handy modify-V-rebuild-reinstall
|
|
# command line (on the host, of course) is
|
|
#
|
|
mq -j2 && mq -j2 install DESTDIR=`pwd`/Inst && adb push Inst /
|
|
#
|
|
# where 'mq' is an alias for 'make --quiet'.
|
|
|
|
|
|
# One common cause of runs failing at startup is the inability of
|
|
# Valgrind to find a suitable temporary directory. On the device,
|
|
# there doesn't seem to be any one location which we always have
|
|
# permission to write to. The instructions above use /sdcard. If
|
|
# that doesn't work for you, and you're Valgrinding one specific
|
|
# application which is already installed, you could try using its
|
|
# temporary directory, in /data/data, for example
|
|
# /data/data/org.mozilla.firefox_beta.
|
|
#
|
|
# Using /system/bin/logcat on the device is helpful for diagnosing
|
|
# these kinds of problems.
