Re: documentaion building for android



Lionel that patch was as exactly what I needed . Ok looks like I have
what I need to start a README or something of sorts. If I have
problems I'll post to the list but I think with theses patches I'll be
ok.

Yes indeed the libiconv config.guess doesn't recognize the android canonical

This script is basically full of switch/case trying to match names like
theses :

| -mingw32* | -linux-gnu*

Basically what you need to do is add the -linux-android* to that, so you can
run the script.

You can find the packages we patched and the patches there :

(Not all of the patches might be useful for you)

Thanks for the reply Lionel.

I forgot to mention that you probably need to use the following repos :

Few patches to glib to compile on Bionic :
https://github.com/djdeath/glib

Integration with the Android mainloop system :
https://github.com/dlespiau/glib-android

A few patches to cogl, most of them should be upstream now :
https://github.com/djdeath/cogl-android

Ok looks like I was on the right path here, but the distinction
between glib and glib-android had me a bit confused. thanks

I did run into a snag building both glib though. Related to libiconv
haveing an outdated config.guess. Looks like libiconv's git repos  is
using an outdated autoconf and friends so I'll play with that unless
you guys have a better work around?


How close is it from upstream? That's hard to say, because it might require
a bit of time to investigate the remaining bugs.
Also the whole Android application life cycle and the mainloop integration
don't really fit with the way we do things on more traditional GNU/Linux
systems...

Ironically the whole mainloop is exactly the reason I started playing
with clutter. Mainly because we have this exact same problem with go
language. Since go language can not produce share libs, there is
simply no way other then some IPC or RPC to use it in  some graphical
way with android. On the flip side if you want to build a command line
posix program for android with go. its pretty trivial.

Even though the mainloop is pita, I still think clutter in theory, is
one of the only open source alternatives that can probably get away
with using it.

As for things getting pushed upstream, I'm not to worried about that
as long as I know which repo's are which and that they are tracking
upstream.

Mike
