Android: combining static libraries into one
I am using Android NDK r8 to build multiple static libraries with include $ (BUILD_STATIC_LIBRARY) and I am successfully getting: lib1.a, lib2.a, lib3.a, etc.
Now I would like to combine these static libraries into one.
I'm trying to do this using ar.exe with the Android NDK:
android-ndk-r8\toolchains\arm-linux-androideabi-4.4.3\prebuilt\windows\arm-linux-androideabi\bin\ar.exe r libALL.a lib1.a lib2.a lib3.a
But when I use libAll.a in Android NDK makefile it doesn't say there is no index.
How do I add this index?
Another question:
When I show the contents of the libAll.a archive , I see lib1.a , lib2.a , lib3.a instead of .o symbols from those libraries.
How can I change this (= extract .o from static libraries to merge it into libAll.a)?
thank
ar
is just an archiving tool like zip. It takes data from input files and creates an archive .a
. If you want to include all files .o
in one archive, you must specify each individual file. I don't know how to do this on WIndows, but on Linux you can use somthing like ar rs $(find . -name *.o)
.
