[solved][Android] Boost for Ogre

[Emerich]

Hi there!

Has anyone actually managed to get boost compiled for Android and then used by Ogre?
I did search quite a lot but couldn't find a proper cmake version or android version of boost (1_51)

I'd really appreciate help if anyone managed to do that.
EDIT:
Using the documentation from here: http://code.google.com/p/android-cmake/ ... hain.cmake
And some bugfixing in the findboost.cmake I managed to find some boost libraries with find_path (... ) and find_library (... )
Apparently the toolchain changed some env variables that caused the functions to misbehave.
Now that means I can link them into my project. Yay for more cmake learning.

If anyone cares, I'll write down my "adventure" here so other people might profit.

In case you were wondering: Adding NO_CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH as an option to the find_path and find_library calls in FindBoost.cmake allows the script to find boost when called after/with/whatever the android.toolchain - At least that did it for me.

I actually managed to get the BOOST-ed Ogre to work on Android.
A further issue was that the scripts don't add the necessary boost files to the make script - you need to do that by hand (or someone with a clue needs to change the scripts properly)

    include $(BUILD_SHARED_LIBRARY) 
      
    $(call import-module,android/cpufeatures)

Needless to say, you have to put your folders in there.

Hi,
please where did you added this lines?

Thanks

Hey,

I didn't work on this for ages and unfortunately don't have the project on my pc currently.

If you search for something like *make* you should find the make file in your ogre/build/ folder (unless too much changed nowadays and i'm talking deprecated paths )
