Re: gnustep-base cross compile for Android

[Ivan Vučica]

Hello Emmanuel,

Only now did I take some time to take a look at your patches. It seems at least some of them are still needed. Did you review them? If not, I'll be playing with that these days.

Richard and Adam, could you take a quick look at the -base and -make patches, respectively? They basically look alright to me, and I'd apply the needed changes one-by-one, on an as-needed basis. Some of the changes were already made, but I'd love feedback before actually committing anything in the repositories.

(The "on an as-needed basis" applies especially to things like the "gsbase_GNUmakefile.patch", which disables SSL, Tests and Tools without actually.)

Additional note: I'm structuring the Android build script that I'm working on to be nicer. That is, to be more easy to study and apply step-by-step. I'll be publishing it as a Mercurial repository when it's restructured. It'll be a collection of shell scripts sourced by the main script, which should also allow easy addition of Android-specific patches into the build process before they're properly integrated into upstream GNUstep.

Hello Ivan,

There is the script and patches i use to cross compile libobjc2, gnustep-make-2.6.2, gnustep-base-1.24.0 with libxml2 and libffi on Mac OS X.
(You need to install autoconf and automake on Mac OS before running script.)

I will review all patches for gnustep with current SVN code and submit them tonight or tomorrow.

Cheers
Emmanuel
