问题
I am updating my projects to use Android ndk 16b and it was previously using 12b (was working fine). After I updated, I am running into the following error while building the final .so:
/Users/ssk/code/client/git/thirdparty/android-ndk-r16b/android-ndk/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.9/prebuilt/darwin-x86_64/lib/gcc/arm-linux-androideabi/4.9.x/../../../../arm-linux-androideabi/bin/ld: error: jni/../../../shared-library/SharedCommon/build/arm-linux-androideabi/lib/libSharedCommon.a: no archive symbol table (run ranlib)
This is leading to a bunch of linker errors. I tried the following answers:
Android NDK: no archive symbol table
How to run ranlib on an archive built through Android.mk?
no archive symbol table (run ranlib) while building libcryptopp.a through ndk-build
with no luck.
回答1:
You need to build static libraries with a GNU AR (like the one we include in the NDK, same directory as GCC). Darwin's AR is a BSD AR that does not automatically perform ranlib tasks.
回答2:
When cross compiling a library for android, I encounter similar issue.
The problem arouse because I didn't specify ranlib tool for cross compiling, and it fallback to use a default one in the build system which is x86.
The issue solved by specifying the ranlib to arm-linux-androideabi-ranlib in configuration stage before compiling.
