@tanersener this PR actually fixes the issue for android

[tanersener]

Thanks for the heads up. I knew I fixed it. I just couldn't find the commit.

[mattsff]

I have the latest code from master that includes that PR (^^) but I have the same issue to build android version. ¿Any idea how to fix that? Thanks

[mattsff]

Any help here please? 🙏🏻 @milos1290 @tanersener

error: implicitly declaring library function 'exit' with type 'void (int) __attribute__((noreturn))' [-Werror,-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
  exit(0);
  ^
conftest.c:4:3: note: include the header <stdlib.h> or explicitly provide a declaration for 'exit'

@mattsff This is the actual error here. It is printed in src/nettle/config.log.

The solution is to: 1- Manually add #include <stdlib.h> in all code snippets that call exit(0), exit (0) or exit(1) in src/nettle/aclocal.m4 2- re-build nettle with --reconf-nettle option

@mattsff the way i've fixed it was to copy the change from iOS PR changes into android-nettle.sh

${SED_INLINE} 's/exit(0)/return 0/g' ${BASEDIR}/src/${LIB_NAME}/configure
 ${SED_INLINE} 's/exit (0)/return 0/g' ${BASEDIR}/src/${LIB_NAME}/configure

${SED_INLINE} 's/exit(0)/return 0/g' ${BASEDIR}/src/${LIB_NAME}/configure
 ${SED_INLINE} 's/exit (0)/return 0/g' ${BASEDIR}/src/${LIB_NAME}/configure

It works.
