Cross compiling static C hello world for Android using arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc

Question

I want to build a static hello world from C using arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc as opposed to using the NDK standalone toolchain or Codesourcery for that matter.

In Ubuntu..

Answer 1

If I do this on a Debian machine (VM in my case), all seems well. I am not sure what when wrong with doing similar on ubuntu. It could be as Leo suggested, but I cannot confirm. This should work for you though.

Someone added this link, but it is not using the toolchain I mentioned in the description. Leaving it in case anyone is interested.
