Re: Android (Was: Cross-compiling GNUstep?)

[Ivan Vučica]

First the good news: I am able to continue contributing to GNUstep outside of work.

This means I've been able to push updated "gnustep-android" repository:
  https://bitbucket.org/ivucica/gnustep-android

It should hopefully work with Ubuntu 12.04 out of the box.

Looking forward to feedback!

Nice work Ivan, some other thoughts from going through the same thing:

NativeActivity may be different, but in my case the thread that called LoadLibrary is not used for me any more after that.  This causes NSThread MainThread to never be used though is set.  

Template for NativeActivity does try to run all native code in non-main thread. So you are right that we need to play with setting the correct mainThread.

 

It would be nice to hook the activity through NSRunLoop, we never did and just worked around it with categories where it was an issue.

I've also had a need to hook some things for Core Animation, but never got around to hacking or studying -base enough to do it.

 

What did you need API 14 for?  We currently have API8 supported in the store.

Not sure by now. I think I've also had API8 set as target, but the OpenGL ES test code that I used required it for something.
