Any instruction on how to build ivilink for android is missing.

promihu commented 12 years ago

iviLink v. 1.0.1 or earlier may be build for Ubuntu only. Android support is planned for upcoming release (in approx 2 weeks)

Vanuan commented 12 years ago

What android versions will it target?

kostiakhait commented 12 years ago

2.2 and later

I've tried to build the ivilink utils library. Here's my effort: https://github.com/ivilink/ividroid

Encountered an issue with functions for byte endianess conversion: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=24320

Here's a proposed patch: 2441e53cfa1f6af6f6b928aad4d6e7da010f3c37

Another issue I had to deal with is the use of STL. By default NDK doesn't provide STL library. But it can be enabled using the APP_STL variable: ivilink/ividroid@7df90cdef1130ba9d8412f9f8a1e01889af3ccfa

Yet another thing: iviLink/utils/json/ uses exceptions which are not enabled by default in the Android NDK. Here's a fix to enable it: 4ba8fe6076d50af6b1a21db0bf2d07ae789d66dc

There is more: iviLink/utils/ipc/private/CIpc.cpp requires std::tr1::shared_ptr, which is not available in the STLport.

The solution is to use the GNU libstdc++ implementation that fully supports C++ exceptions and RTTI: ivilink/ividroid@225519b2fc1bbbfb7007423791e004a011ea6922

After yet another fix (822ed5e865da5790699bfa39b22ade7205ba2413) I was able to build the IviLinkUtils library for Android. Two more libraries to go.
