He is, but right now everyone is working on what they consider a top priority for them and is likely busy with M related work. Perhaps it would be best to find someone that would consider this a top priority in another group. Likely, the NDK google group. https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/android-ndk > > Also, as a possible work around, would soft links work for you? > > Nope.

I don't know if hardlinks was ever part of the Android NDK stable API. I never really make apps. However, it is defined within the headers distributed as part of the NDK (see below). Again, I would hit the NDK group. If they determine a need, changes to installd and selinux would likely need to be made. Also, as an aside, the way you word things might be affecting your level of support. Choose your words more carefully. android-ndk-r10e$ find . -name unistd.h | xargs grep 'link(const char \*, const\ char \*)' | cut -d: -f1-1 | sort | uniq ./platforms/android-12/arch-arm/usr/include/unistd.h ./platforms/android-12/arch-mips/usr/include/unistd.h ./platforms/android-12/arch-x86/usr/include/unistd.h ./platforms/android-13/arch-arm/usr/include/unistd.h ./platforms/android-13/arch-mips/usr/include/unistd.h ./platforms/android-13/arch-x86/usr/include/unistd.h ./platforms/android-14/arch-arm/usr/include/unistd.h ./platforms/android-14/arch-mips/usr/include/unistd.h ./platforms/android-14/arch-x86/usr/include/unistd.h ./platforms/android-15/arch-arm/usr/include/unistd.h ./platforms/android-15/arch-mips/usr/include/unistd.h ./platforms/android-15/arch-x86/usr/include/unistd.h ./platforms/android-16/arch-arm/usr/include/unistd.h ./platforms/android-16/arch-mips/usr/include/unistd.h ./platforms/android-16/arch-x86/usr/include/unistd.h ./platforms/android-17/arch-arm/usr/include/unistd.h ./platforms/android-17/arch-mips/usr/include/unistd.h ./platforms/android-17/arch-x86/usr/include/unistd.h ./platforms/android-18/arch-arm/usr/include/unistd.h ./platforms/android-18/arch-mips/usr/include/unistd.h ./platforms/android-18/arch-x86/usr/include/unistd.h ./platforms/android-19/arch-arm/usr/include/unistd.h ./platforms/android-19/arch-mips/usr/include/unistd.h ./platforms/android-19/arch-x86/usr/include/unistd.h ./platforms/android-3/arch-arm/usr/include/unistd.h ./platforms/android-4/arch-arm/usr/include/unistd.h ./platforms/android-5/arch-arm/usr/include/unistd.h ./platforms/android-8/arch-arm/usr/include/unistd.h ./platforms/android-9/arch-arm/usr/include/unistd.h ./platforms/android-9/arch-mips/usr/include/unistd.h ./platforms/android-9/arch-x86/usr/include/unistd.h _______________________________________________ Seandroid-list mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe, send email to [email protected].
