Question

I am using boost libraries in an application which is targeted for multiple platforms including android.

unfortunately boost libraries are not included in android so i am trying to include the boost source files in project and compile them but i am getting many errors when i am trying to do that mostly unresolved symbols in many files

i have created the project as a shared library using eclipse ide and os is ubuntu 11.10

please help and i am not really a nerd so easy to understand solution would be really helpful.

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

make a folder called local/include/ in your home folder. Then create a symbolic link from /usr/include/boost to there. Include ~/local/include in the LOCAL_C_INCLUDES variable in your Android.mk. This will work for the header-only libraries in boost.
