[Ves] ndk-build NDK_DEBUG=1

[Ariel Hernán Curiale]

Hi Pat,

About the native compilation, I don't understand a few points:

1) According to the NDK-GDB.html provided by android-ndk-r8b I need to compile the .cxx files using the script 'ndk-build'. I'm using a modified version of the script configure_cmake included into the Kiwi App.
In particular I modified this script to create a eclipse project. I use this script:

$CMAKE -DCMAKE_ECLIPSE_EXECUTABLE="/Applications/eclipse"\
       -DCMAKE_ECLIPSE_VERSION="4.2 (Juno)"\
       -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=$TOOLCHAIN\
       -DANDROID_NATIVE_API_LEVEL=8\
       -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE="Debug"\
       -DVTK_DIR=$VTK_DIR\
       -DVES_DIR=$VES_DIR\
       -G "Eclipse CDT4 - Unix Makefiles"\
       $eclipse_dir



This script configure properly the dependencies of the ves library but I think that this script configure eclipse to use the make command instead ndk-build to compile the .cxx.

Is there a way to use cmake to configure the ves libraries and use the ndk-build to compile the .cxx ?

2) According to all the tutorials that I read, including your recommendation,  them use the file Android.mk to configure and build .cxx files.
When I use cmake to create the project, cmake configure all files  and I don't need to use the Android.mk. Indeed I think that I must not create the Android.mk file because I use the cmake to configure the way to compile the .cxx files.



I'm a bit confuse about if the cmake is configured to use ndk-build to  build the .cxx or if its just use the make command. 
How can I use ndk-build instead of make ?


I know how to compile and debug native libraries using Android.mk but I don't know how to merge this with the configuration created by the cmake.





About the TestKiwiImage.cpp, I've had some troubles to compile the VES_HOST_SUPERBUILD. I got some errors ( OpenGLES/ES2/gl.h file not found). I thought that the GL library are including in Xcode 4.4
Where can I find just the file TestKiwiImage.cpp ?

Thanks a lot.

If you want to debug native code on android using the ndk gdb, you could try following some tutorials like this one:  http://vilimpoc.org/blog/2010/09/23/hello-gdbserver-a-debuggable-jni-example-for-android/
