Hi, I have determined (or so I hope) how to add a new shared library to the external part of Android image: 1. Add a directory called "foobar", under <root>/external 2. In that folder put my source files 3. Create Android.mk file 4. Update the file <root>/build/core/prelink-linux-arm.map and add my library there, in the last section (titled "libraries for specific apps..."), choosing a free memory area 5. Use the 'mm' or 'mmm' shell functions to build the library.
The output is (between dashed lines): -------------------------- make: Entering directory `/media/disk-1/development/Donut/donut' target thumb C: libfoobar <= external/foobar/src/foobar_01.c target thumb C: libfoobar <= external/foobar/src/foobar_02.c target SharedLib: libfoobar (out/target/product/generic/obj/ SHARED_LIBRARIES/libfoobar_intermediates/LINKED/libfoobar.so) target Prelink: libfoobar (out/target/product/generic/symbols/system/ lib/libfoobar/libfoobar.so) target Strip: libfoobar (out/target/product/generic/obj/lib/ libfoobar.so) Install: out/target/product/generic/system/lib/libfoobar.so make: Leaving directory `/media/disk-1/development/Donut/donut' -------------------------- So far, so good. My questions are: 1. Is the process above correct? If not, where did I go wrong? 2. Is this process documented and if so, where? 3. How do I prevent the library from being stripped? 4. Alternatively, can I tell the make process to preserve certain symbols and strip all others? 5. If I want the foobar library to be built from objects and libraries, located elsewhere, without any C compilations, how do I do it by tweaking the Android.mk file?
