Cross Compile - tcpdump for x86

Question

I need tcpdump binary for android-x86. Here is what I have done:

sudo apt-get install gcc-i686-linux-android
sudo apt-get install          


        

Answer 1

Alternatively, you can build tcpdump with NDK using this script build-android-tcpdump.

Steps:

1. Install NDK: NDK download

2. Download build-android-tcpdump and simply run:

   sh build-android-tcpdump -n "/PATH/TO/NDK" -t 4.9.0 -l 1.8.1

That's it, it will build tcpdump for all Android arches by default, including x86.
