I am creating a new SDK component (application) based on the sample device located at /device/sample
the idea is to port an existing application written using C++, which utilizes lots of templates, RTTI, exceptions, STL; from the documentation it is clear that if I build my application with gnustl_static/gnustl_shared support this will provide me with all the support I need.

Now if I am creating a NDK application, which has Application.mk I know adding APP_STL := gnustl_static in it is one way to do it.

But as the component is part of new device sdk-addon.

Q1. I dont know how to provide Application.mk for native C++ application/component being build part of sdk-addon.

Q2. As per my knowledge I only have access to Android.mk and I am looking for a way to add support for gnustl_static using only Android.mk

I have tried various combinations of following options in Android.mk without any luck

LOCAL_CPPFLAGS += -fexceptions
LOCAL_CPPFLAGS += -frtti
LOCAL_SRC_FILES += libs/$(TARGET_ARCH_ABI)/libstdc++.a
LOCAL_STATIC_LIBRARIES := gnustl_static

Do let me know if you have any suggestions, thanks.

    For now I have decided to avoid using RTTI/exceptions and I have decided to go with stlport

    LOCAL_SHARED_LIBRARIES += libstlport

    I guess same should also work with gnustl.
