Where to find nm tool (compiled or source code) for Android

Question

I want to create an application that is able to list all symbols of a dynamic library .so file in Android. I want to ask if there is precompiled nm for Android or at least n

Answer 1

nm is part of binutils. You can get the source code from http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/binutils.

You can also find arm supporting binary (compiled for host, linux-x86) in Android NDK.

If you need a binary for Android target, you can try to build it by obtaining latest Android repository, navigating to external/elfutils. However I don't think there is an Android.mk building it, so it might not be trivial. You can see that nm.c on github mirror of Android repository.
