Android cpp-test compilation error [SOLVED]

cocos2d-x C++
#1

Hi,

Please help!

I’m trying to compile cpp-test (cocos2d-x v3.2) android on a Mac OS X.

Android NDK r10c

Here is the error message I get:

/Users/mikeg/Kits/android-ndk-r10c/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.8/prebuilt/darwin-x86_64/lib/gcc/arm-linux-androideabi/4.8/…/…/…/…/arm-linux-androideabi/bin/ld: error: /Users/mikeg/Kits/cocos2d-x-3.2/tests/cpp-tests/proj.android/…/…/…/external/curl/prebuilt/android/armeabi/libcurl.a(sha512-armv4.o): requires unsupported dynamic reloc R_ARM_REL32; recompile with -fPIC
clang++: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
make: *** [obj/local/armeabi/libcpp_tests.so] Error 1

It says to recompile with -fPIC

Maybe it could help, but how I specify this option in cocos console?

Regards,
Mike.

Thanks. Already fixed.
Either use NDK r9, or use the latest version from github.

@ricardo Thanks!

Still doesn’t compile:

APP_STL value not good. What should I use instead of it?

Mmmm… ok. Strange.

Just revert to NDK r10c, and then go to external/curl
and the replace the contents of that directory with the contents of this zip file:
https://github.com/cocos2d/cocos2d-x-3rd-party-libs-bin/archive/v3-deps-21.zip

(just the external/curl directory)

Hi,

I also had the exact same problem.

The correct solution would probably be to try and compile libcurl based on the Wiki topic at http://www.cocos2d-x.org/wiki/How_to_compile_libcurl?project_id=cocos2d-x.

I tried using libcurl.a from https://github.com/cocos2d/cocos2d-x-3rd-party-libs-bin/archive/v3-deps-21.zip but got a whole bunch of errors.

What did work for me was:

  1. Download cocos2d-x-2.2.3 from http://cdn.cocos2d-x.org/cocos2d-x-2.2.3.zip.
  2. Extract to a temp director.
  3. Get the libcurl.a From \cocos2d-x-2.2.3\cocos2dx\platform\third_party\android\prebuilt\libcurl\libs\armeabi (4,278,114 bytes) and overwrite the v3.3rc0 libcurl.a at \cocos2d-x-3.3rc0\external\curl\prebuilt\android\armeabi\ (4,562,086 bytes).
  4. Rebuild

Using this version of libcurl.a I was able to correctly build the cpp-tests and successfully deploy it to an Android phone.

Good Luck,
Itai Shaham
