Question

I want to link an existing shared library (FlashRuntimeExtensions.so) to my C-code while compiling my own shared library. But whatever I try I always get the same error; that the file is in a wrong format. Does anybody have an idea on how to solve this?

Here is my compile command:

$ g++ -Wall ane.c FlashRuntimeExtensions.so -o aneObject
FlashRuntimeExtensions.so: could not read symbols: File in wrong format
collect2: ld gaf exit-status 1 terug

Answer 1

Your command line tries to generate x86 code and link it to ARM code using the native g++ available in your distribution.

This will not work. Use the Android NDK available here: http://developer.android.com/tools/sdk/ndk/index.html

The NDK includes a set of cross-toolchains (compilers, linkers, etc..) that can generate native ARM binaries on Linux, OS X, and Windows (with Cygwin) platforms.
