build this is not a name ... but it is a FREE software tool.

Instructions

this is a makefile chain to generate the binary, shared lib and static lib independently of the OS

Create a makefile for all librairies

the makefile must be set directly in the root folder of the lib and named :

• Generic.mk ==> if it was no special platform difined
• Linux.mk ==> only for linux
• Windows.mk ==> only for windows
• Android.mk ==> only for android
• Mac.mk ==> only for mac
• Ios.mk ==> only for ios

==> if the platform specific file was not found, the system search the Generic.mk file

a minimal makefile for static lib :

# requested for all makefile
LOCAL_PATH := $(call my-dir)
# remove previous variable of a module (remove all LOCAL_*** variable)
include $(CLEAR_VARS)
# librairie or program name
LOCAL_MODULE    := exemple
# list of sources files
LOCAL_SRC_FILES := plop.cpp plop2.c
# request the type of generation
include $(BUILD_STATIC_LIBRARY)

you can have some other :

# prebuild librairie ==> no comilation needed
include $(BUILD_PREBUILT)
# binary file generation (automatic add .exe at the end when windows binary)
include $(BUILD_EXECUTABLE)
# shared librairie (automatic .so or .dll when needed)
include $(BUILD_SHARED_LIBRARY)

define include folder:

# inside module
LOCAL_C_INCLUDES := $(LOCAL_PATH)/monPath/
# outside module >> automaticly added to LOCAL_C_INCLUDES
LOCAL_EXPORT_C_INCLUDES := $(LOCAL_PATH)/mon/path/export

define c compilation flags : CFLAGS

# inside module
LOCAL_CFLAGS := -DEXEMPLE_TAG="\"SuperPlop\""
# outside module
LOCAL_EXPORT_CFLAGS := -DEXEMPLE_EXTERN_DEFINE

define linker flags:

# local
LOCAL_LDLIBS := -lm
# expoerted
LOCAL_EXPORT_LDLIBS := -lm

define dependency between librairies (note : automaticly include sub dependence of adependence

LOCAL_LIBRARIES := etk tinyxml

copy files and folder :

# use the makefile folder as reference and output is in the application data directory
# copy secyfy file in the destination : folder/SRC.xxx:folderPLOP/folder/dst.yyy
LOCAL_COPY_FILES := ../share/Font/freefont/FreeSerif.ttf:Font/freefont/FreeSerif.ttf
# copy multiple file in a folder : (wildcard search) : folder/src*.txt:dstFolder
LOCAL_COPY_FOLDERS := ../share/*.xml:/
# note : the destination name is not needed ...
