It is now possible to use the toolchain provided with the Android NDK as a standalone compiler. This can be useful if you already have your own build system, and only need to ability to invoke the cross-compiler to add support to Android for it. A typical use case if invoking the 'configure' script of an open-source library that expects a cross-compiler in the CC environment variable. This document explains how to do that:

1/ Selecting your toolchain:

Before anything else, you need to decide whether your standalone toolchain is going to target ARM-based devices, x86-based, or MIPS-based one. Each architecture corresponds to a different toolchain name: * arm-linux-androideabi-4.4.3 => targetting ARM-based Android devices * x86-4.4.3 => targetting x86-based Android devices * mipsel-linux-android-4.4.3 => targetting MIPS-based Android devices

2/ Selecting your sysroot:

The second thing you need to know is which Android native API level you want to target. Each one of them provides a different various APIs, which are documented under doc/STABLE-APIS.html, and correspond to the sub-directories of $NDK/platforms. This allows you to define the path to your 'sysroot', a GCC term for a directory containing the system headers and libraries of your target. Usually, this will be something like: SYSROOT=$NDK/platforms/android-/arch-/ Where is the API level number, and is the architecture ("arm", "x86", and "mips" are the supported values). For example, if you're targeting Android 2.2 (a.k.a. Froyo), you would use: SYSROOT=$NDK/platforms/android-8/arch-arm IMPORTANT: Note that only android-9 is supported for the x86 architecture. Note that android-9 and later are supported for the MIPS architecture.

3/ Invoking the compiler (the hard way):

Invoke the compiler using the --sysroot option to indicate where the system files for the platform you're targeting are located. For example, do: export CC="$NDK/toolchains/<name>/prebuilt/<system>/bin/<prefix>gcc --sysroot=$SYSROOT" $CC -o foo.o -c foo.c Where <name> is the toolchain's name, <system> is the host tag for your system, and <prefix> is a toolchain-specific prefix. For example, if you are on Linux using the NDK r5 toolchain, you would use: export CC="$NDK/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.4.3/prebuilt/linux-x86/bin/arm-linux-androideabi-gcc --sysroot=$SYSROOT" As you can see, this is rather verbose, but it works!

4/ Invoking the compiler (the easy way):

The NDK allows you to create a "customized" toolchain installation to make life easier. For example, consider the following command: $NDK/build/tools/make-standalone-toolchain.sh --platform=android-5 --install-dir=/tmp/my-android-toolchain This will create a directory named /tmp/my-android-toolchain containing a copy of the android-5/arch-arm sysroot, and of the toolchain binaries. Note that by default, the ARM-based toolchain will be selected by the script. Use the '--arch=x86' option to specify the x86-based one, use the '--arch=mips' option to specify the MIPS-based one, or alternatively '--toolchain='. You can later use it directly with something like: export PATH=/tmp/my-android-toolchain/bin:$PATH export CC=arm-linux-androideabi-gcc Note that without the --install-dir option, make-standalone-toolchain.sh will create a tarball in /tmp/ndk/<toolchain-name>.tar.bz2. This allows you to archive and redistribute the binaries easily. Another important benefit is that this standalone toolchain will contain a working copy of the GNU libstdc++, with working exceptions and RTTI support (as long as you link against libstdc++ or libsupc++) Use --help for more options and details.

IMPORTANT: The toolchain binaries do not depend or contain host-specific paths, in other words, they can be installed in any location, or even moved if you need to.

NOTE: You can still use the --sysroot option with the new toolchain, but it is now simply optional!

5/ ABI Compatibility:

The machine code generated by the toolchain should be compatible with the official Android 'armeabi' ABI (see docs/CPU-ARCH-ABIS.html) by default. It is recommended to use the -mthumb compiler flag to force the generation of 16-bit Thumb-1 instructions (the default being 32-bit ARM ones). If you want to target the 'armeabi-v7a' ABI, you will need ensure that the following two flags are being used: CFLAGS='-march=armv7-a -mfloat-abi=softfp' Note: The first flag enables Thumb-2 instructions, and the second one enables H/W FPU instructions while ensuring that floating-point parameters are passed in core registers, which is critical for ABI compatibility. Do *not* use these flags separately! If you want to use Neon instructions, you will need one more compiler flag: CFLAGS='-march=armv7-a -mfloat-abi=softfp -mfpu=neon' Note that this forces the use of VFPv3-D32, as per the ARM specification. Also, is is *required* to use the following linker flags that routes around a CPU bug in some Cortex-A8 implementations: LDFLAGS='-Wl,--fix-cortex-a8' If none of the above makes sense to you, it's probably better not to use the standalone toolchain, and stick to the NDK build system instead, which will handle all the details for you. You don't have to use any specific compiler flag when targetting the x86 ABI or the MIPS ABI.

6/ Warnings and Limitations:

6.1/ Windows support:

The Windows binaries do *not* depend on Cygwin. The good news is that they are thus faster, the bad news is that they do not understand the Cygwin path specification like /cygdrive/c/foo/bar (instead of C:/foo/bar). The NDK build system ensures that all paths passed to the compiler from Cygwin are automatically translated, and deals with other horrors for you. If you have a custom build system, you may need to deal with the problem yourself.

NOTE: There is no plan to support Cygwin / MSys at the moment, but contributions are welcome. Contact the android-ndk forum for details.

6.2/ wchar_t support:

As documented, the Android platform did not really support wchar_t until Android 2.3. What this means in practical terms is that: - If you target platform android-9 or higher, the size of wchar_t is 4 bytes, and most wide-char functions are available in the C library (with the exception of multi-byte encoding/decoding functions and wsprintf/wsscanf). - If you target any prior API level, the size of wchar_t will be 1 byte and none of the wide-char functions will work anyway. We recommend any developer to get rid of any dependencies on the wchar_t type and switch to better representations. The support provided in Android is only there to help you migrate existing code.

6.3/ Exceptions, RTTI and STL:

The toolchain binaries *do* support C++ exceptions and RTTI by default. They are enabled by default, so use -fno-exceptions and -fno-rtti if you want to disable them when building sources with them (e.g. to generate smaller machine code).

NOTE: You will need to explicitly link with libsupc++ if you use these features. To do this, use -lsupc++ when linking binaries, as in: arm-linux-androideabi-g++ .... -lsupc++

6.4/ C++ STL support:

The standalone toolchain also comes with a copy of the GNU libstdc++ library, which provides an implementation of the C++ Standard Template Library. To use it, you however need to link with the proper library: * Use -lstdc++ to link against the _static_ library version. This ensures that all required C++ STL code is included into your final binary. This is ideal if you are only generating a single shared library or executable. This is the recommended way to do it. * Use -lgnustl_shared to link against the _shared_ library version. This is required if you have several related shared libraries or executables that need to run in the same address space at runtime (some global variables need to be defined uniquely, which is not possible if you link the static libstdc++ against each one of your executables). If you use this option, you need to ensure that libgnustl_shared.so is also copied to your device for your code to load properly. The file is at: $TOOLCHAIN/arm-linux-androideabi/lib/ for ARM toolchains. $TOOLCHAIN/i686-linux-android/lib/ for x86 ones. $TOOLCHAIN/mipsel-linux-android/lib/ for MIPS toolchains.

IMPORTANT: The GNU libstdc++ is licensed under the GPLv3 with a linking exception. See the following URL for details: http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libstdc++/manual/bk01pt01ch01s02.html
