QUESTION

Android Studio linker command failed while including Boost libraries

Asked 2019-May-28 at 20:22

To be frank I'm at my wit's end and I really need a place to crash. While compiling I am keeping getting a

error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

I presume it is due to incompability or simply different compiler versions between the project build and the boost libraries but as long as I read the binaries are perfect compatible(?).

Building Boost
I compiled via MinGW on Windows 10 but to exclude errors here I ended up building boost using this git shell script which worked with the latest versions of Boost (1.64.0) and NDK (r15b). I did it in the VirtualBox with Ubuntu 16.04 since I had not enough knowledge to adapt it to Windows 10 (at least I was not able to). Now I have shard and static libs compiled with gnu-4.9 and llvm-3.5 for x86 (which my emulator in AStudio is baded on too).

Android Studio
I am using Cmake to build the C/C++ libraries of my project. I have several C libs and one C++ lib that are dependant from each other. The last is the one using boost. Since all libraries are built and found with no error it seems to be a name mangling problem to me though all C header files have the preprocessor declaration: extern C. Except for the boost parts all is running flawlessly

CMake
The find_package() REQUIRED parameter is set and the Boost_DEBUG tells that all components have been found. Since at a certain point I got the error

undefined reference to boost::system::generic_category()

I added system to the components, so my minimalistic components setup contains only chrono and system like suggested on many other threads concerning this particular problem. I tried to link the boost libs individually, without success:

Answered 2017-Aug-03 at 08:36

To sumarize the comments:

The compilation error "undefined reference to boost::system::generic_category()" can be worked-around by adding the -DBOOST_SYSTEM_NO_DEPRECATED to the compiler flags (see here for further details: undefined reference to boost::system::system_category() when compiling).

To limit the build only to x86, you can provide the abiFilters "x86" in the "externalNativeBuild:cmake" section next to the cppFlags.

The dlopen() problem:

When the library is linked dynamically, it needs to be also in the shared library search paths, otherwise it might not be found when actually running the executable. So the Boost shared libs path needs to be put to the PATH (Windows) or LD_LIBRARY_PATH (Linux) (if it is not in the standard locations like '/lib[64]' or '/usr/local/lib[64]').

Alternatively you can build with static libraries instead:

How to compile boost 1.68.0 for Android using NDK r18b using Windows

Asked 2019-Jan-30 at 10:56

I had to build a version of boost for Android using NDK r18b, I had a hardtime achieving this so I post Question+Answer here as it may help other persons.

Firstly, I tried https://github.com/moritz-wundke/Boost-for-Android, but this was unsuccessful, see How to build boost 1.69.0 for Android with NDK r18b using moritz-wundke/Boost-for-Android?.

Secondly, I tried https://github.com/dec1/Boost-for-Android, but this was unsuccessful too, see How to build boost 1.69.0 for Android with NDK r18b using dec1/Boost-for-Android?.

What are the steps to follow to achieve compilation of boost?

Actually, those scripts were designed for Linux, and they hardly work under Windows. Then, I started from scratch and could finally find the good config under Windows to achieve this. I basically checked how other libraries are compiled (I use QtCreator to deploy on Android, so the compilation window reported me how clang++ has to be invoked, so I write a user-config.jam based on that.

Here are the steps to follow to compile boost 1.68.0 for Android armeabiv7 and x86 using NDK r18b:

Download boost 1.68.0 from boost.org: https://www.boost.org/users/history/version_1_68_0.html
Apply moritz-wundke's patch, else it won't compile (thanks by the way). Take it from here: https://github.com/moritz-wundke/Boost-for-Android/tree/master/patches
Run bootstrap.bat (you'll need it to find a compiler, I have VS 2015 installed so it works just fine)

Then set some environment variables:

I tried to use https://github.com/dec1/Boost-for-Android to compile boost for Android. It reports 1.69.0 is supported for NDK r18b. I'm under Windows 7.

Even if this is reported as working, I encounter many problems when trying to run the provided script:

Downloaded boost 1.69.0
Downloaded sources
Modified BOOST_SRC_DIR to point to folder containing "1.69.0" boost folder
Modified ANDROID_NDK_ROOT to point to ndk folder

Sorry, only building on linux is officially supported. Mac and Windows should work fine too but details of setting up the relevant environments (eg cgwin or homebrew) is beyond the scope of what this project tries to do.

If you want to use windows as a host you have two easiest options are:

Use virtual machines eg. VirtualBox or and create a linux virtual machine where you do the building.
You can also simply download and use the precompiled binaries I have made available

No matter what os you use to build under, the resulting binaries can then be copied to windows and used from then on as if you had built on windows to start with (theyre cross compiled for android).

Your boost library was built with libc++ (you can tell because it has references to std::__ndk1::* rather than just std::*). You need to use libc++, not gnustl.

The projects is split into two main branches, the master and devel. The master branch is where the current stable version lies and which should be used in most of the cases, the devel branch in turn is where development occurs. To contribute to the project make sure to use the devel branch which will make it easier to test changes and to merge incoming pull requests (PR).
