Question

I am trying to use a pre built library within my project…its name is libfreeimage.so…
I am not able to build it properly using the NDK-build….
The error log has been pasted here…
please help me in this regard…

flock@QS57:~/Desktop/android-imagefilter-ndk$ /home/flock/ANDROID/android-ndk-r8/ndk-build
Prebuilt       : libfreeimage.so <= jni/
Install        : libfreeimage.so => libs/armeabi/libfreeimage.so

flock@QS57:~/Desktop/android-imagefilter-ndk$ 

My android.mk file-

LOCAL_PATH := $(call my-dir)

include $(CLEAR_VARS)
LOCAL_MODULE := libfreeimage
LOCAL_SRC_FILES := libfreeimage.a
include $(PREBUILT_SHARED_LIBRARY)

LOCAL_PATH := $(call my-dir)

include $(CLEAR_VARS)
LOCAL_MODULE    := imageprocessing
LOCAL_SRC_FILES := imageprocessing.c
LOCAL_SHARED_LIBRARIES := libfreeimage
LOCAL_LDLIBS    := -lm -llog -ljnigraphics

include $(BUILD_SHARED_LIBRARY)

Answer 1

You need to use

include ($BUILD_STATIC_LIBRARY)

instead of

include ($BUILD_SHARED_LIBRARY)

This will give you the desired .a file, not the .so.
