Hi all,
I hope i'm writing to the right list. In the process of poring QGIS to
android I encountred a big limitation. The android system does not
support versioned shared libs. I wrote the attached patch and used it in
the configure scripts of 6 different libs (geos, proj, gsl, expat, gdal,
libiconv) with success.
I think more and more people wil start soon porting more libs to
android, so it vould be nice to have tis in libtool. the crosscompiler
host call to use is: --host=arm-linux-androideabi
Thanks a lot for the great tool
