[Ves] Building VES for Android on Cygwin 1.7.x

Thu Feb 23 13:03:21 EST 2012

I have not tried a mixed platform approach like that, but it seems to me
that it should work.  The result of your linux build will be static vtk
libraries, vtk*.a, and static ves libraries libves.a and libkiwi.a, and
headers for kiwi, ves, and vtk.  You may not need to include any vtk
headers in your app at all, you probably only need to work with headers
from src/ves and src/kiwi.

Take a look at Apps/Android/KiwiViewer/jni.  You'll see there is a single
cpp file.  That file is compiled and linked against ves & vtk to generate
the android jni library which will be part of your android APK.  We use
cmake to compile this single cpp file, but you could instead write a very
simple Android.mk makefile and do that compiling on your Windows
environment.
