[CMake] CMake & Android NDK projects with Eclipse

[J Decker]

This is my toolchain..

https://code.google.com/p/c-system-abstraction-component-gui/source/browse/a2_toolchain.txt

# sample invokation sorta...
cmake -G "MinGW Makefiles" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=debug
-DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=.../a2_toolchain.txt -D__ANDROID__=1
-DANDROID_DIR=j:/general/android/android-ndk-r9
-DANDROID_NDK_VERSION=android-ndk-r9 ${project_root}

make

-----------------------
after getting it all compiled to build the package..

https://code.google.com/p/c-system-abstraction-component-gui/source/browse/android_build/intershell/CMakeLists.txt

Copies a lot of files into various places.
What files do you need?

After getting the files in the right places building boils down to..


set( Project Dekware )
   add_custom_target( package
       COMMAND android.bat update project --target "android-14" --path .
       COMMAND ant.bat ${CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE}
       WORKING_DIRECTORY ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/package
   )


    add_custom_target( install
    COMMAND echo adb install command...
                     COMMAND adb install
package/bin/${Project}-${CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE}.apk
 )
    add_custom_target( uninstall
    COMMAND echo adb uninstall command...
                     COMMAND adb uninstall org.d3x0r.sack.${Project}
 )
