Quick Update:
I got nodejs built and running on android.
I went and tried the usual process from the Android NDK Cross-Compile Setup
(libpng and freetype)
<http://mortoray.com/2012/08/21/android-ndk-cross-compile-setup-libpng-and-freetype/>article.
Then quicky ran into a issue that nodes configure doesn't support the
--host flag. Did a bit of searching and found out the newer versions
(testing unstable) of nodejs have a configure script just for android. So I
went and downloaded node-v0.11.9 from their website and tried some steps I
saw other do with similar versions then ran into a error with node looking
for bz2 module in python (which I guess NDK build doesn't have) fixed that
and it worked.
Here's the build process:
#download nodejs
wget http://nodejs.org/dist/v0.11.9/node-v0.11.9.tar.gz
#export toolchain environment variable
export PLATFORM_PREFIX=/home/bobajeff/android-ext
export NDK_PATH=/home/bobajeff/Downloads/android-ndk-r10
export NDK_PLATFORM=android-9
export PATH=$PLATFORM_PREFIX/bin:$PATH
#make necessary alterations for toolchain
cd node-v0.11.9
# assuming your using the same version of NDK I am and have the patch for it
patch -p1 < node-v0.11.9-android-ndk-r10.diff
#build and install nodejs
source ./android-configure $NDK_PATH
make
make DESTDIR=/home/bobajeff/clangandroid install
this time it install to a slightly different location but still contained
in clangandroid. So to push it to android I did:
adt-bundle-linux-x86-20140702/sdk/platform-tools/adb push /home/bobajeff/
clangandroid/usr/local /data/data/jackpal.androidterm/shared_prefs
Then your ready to test the node with a helloworld
cd /data/data/jackpal.androidterm/shared_prefs
bin/node hello.js
And it works! Next it's finally time to see what I'm in for by trying to
run Emscripten.
