Compiling libnice for Android
I am trying to compile libnice (v0.18 to be specific) for Android but am running into some problems. How can I compile libnice for Android? I've listed my attempts so far below.
1st attempt
My first attempt was to use a custom file for Android.mk, but I got an error AI_NUMERICHOST undeclared
(the addition #include <netdb.h>
did not resolve this and I have no idea). See my Android.mk below
LOCAL_PATH := $(call my-dir)

Static libraries are copied from the debug version of gstreamer 1.4.1 and selected according to the guide below .
Second attempt
Then I tried to compile the static library by referencing this guide which also causes problems:
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=`pwd`/../gstreamer/lib/pkgconfig
export CFLAGS="--sysroot=`pwd`/../toolchain/sysroot"
./configure --prefix=`pwd`/../build --host=arm-linux-androideabi
This results in the error below. Adding -mthumb
or -marm
to CFLAGS results in an error C compiler cannot create executables
during configuration.
stunagent.c: Assembler messages:
stunagent.c:160: Error: no such instruction: `rev %eax,%eax'
stunagent.c:676: Error: no such instruction: `rev16 %ax,%ax'
The lines mentioned do not contain ASM, but calls htons
and ntohl
, so I think I did something wrong ...
I used make_standalone_toolchain
from the NDK using various Android versions to build the toolchain.
Can anyone please help? Thank you in advance! ~

FINALLY! It took me too long. The problem was that libnice creates a file config.h
during configure that defines some macros ( HAVE_NETDB_H
among others). Although I was unable to compile libnice with my toolchain, I was able to create a valid config.h that I could use. After that, I had to make some additional adjustments to mine Android.mk
. I'll post both files below for others looking for answers.
(Note: you still need glib. Since my project uses gstreamer, I was able to use the shared library generated by the gstreamer script line that contains glib.)
Hooray!
