## Prerequisites
You need the Android Native Development Kit (NDK) installed. See
[here](https://developer.android.com/ndk) to download it.
The last known NDK is automatically downloaded, if not specified otherwise.
This project is tested against Android NDK version r25.
## Configuration
If you installed version r25 all you have to do is to expose the NDK root
directory as environment variable, e.g:
This project is tested against Android NDK version r25, but should
support older ones too.
export ANDROID_NDK_ROOT=$HOME/android-ndk-r25
This project uses NDK `android-ndk-r25`, by default, but you can specify
a different one:
If you installed another version you have to expose the NDK root directory as
well as the NDK version, e.g:
export NDK_VERSION=android-ndk-r23c
export ANDROID_NDK_ROOT=$HOME/android-ndk-r17c
export NDK_VERSION=android-ndk-r17c
If you already have installed your favorite NDK somewhere, all you have to
do is to export and set NDK_VERSION and ANDROID_NDK_ROOT environment
variables, e.g:
To specify the minimum sdk version set the environment variable below:
export NDK_VERSION=android-ndk-r23b
export ANDROID_NDK_ROOT=$HOME/${NDK_VERSION}
**Important:** ANDROID_NDK_ROOT must be an absolute path !
If you specify only NDK_VERSION, ANDROID_NDK_ROOT will be automatically set
to its default:
export ANDROID_NDK_ROOT=/tmp/${NDK_VERSION}
To specify the minimum SDK version set the environment variable below:
export MIN_SDK_VERSION=21 # Default value if unset
To specify the prefix directory set the environment variable below:
To specify the build directory set the environment variable below:
export ANDROID_BUILD_DIR=./builds/android/prefix/<android_arch> # Default value if unset
export ANDROID_BUILD_DIR=${HOME}/android_build
**Important:** ANDROID_BUILD_ROOT must be an absolute path !
All libraries will be generated under:
${ANDROID_BUILD_DIR}/prefix/<arch>/lib
where <_arch_> is one of `arm`, `arm64`, `x86` or `x86_64`.
You can also check configuration variables in `build.sh` itself, in its
"Configuration & tuning options" comment block.
The variable CURVE accepts 3 different values:
"" : LIBZMQ is built without any encryption support.
"libsodium" : LIBZMQ is built with LIBSODIUM encryption support (see below).
"tweetnacl" : LIBZMQ is build with embedded encryption support.
## LIBSODIUM
LIBSODIUM is built along with LIBZMQ, when CURVE="libsodium".
- If you have your own clone of LIBSODIUM, set LIBSODIUM_ROOT to point to
its folder.
- If the variable LIBSODIUM_ROOT is not set, LIBZMQ will look for a folder
'libsodium' close to his own one.
- If no folder 'libsodium' exists, then LIBZMQ will clone LIBSODIUM from its
official STABLE branch.
## Build
In the android directory, run:
See chapter [Configuration](#configuration) for configuration options and
other details.
Select your prefered parameters:
export XXX=xxx
export YYY=yyy
...
And, in the android directory, run:
./build.sh [ arm | arm64 | x86 | x86_64 ]
Parameter selection and the calls to build.sh can be located in a
SHELL script, like in ci_build.sh.
## Dockerfile
An example of Docker file is provided, for Ubuntu 22.04
Minimal changes are required to support Debian 9 to 11.
Minimal changes are required to support CentOS (7 only), Rocky Linux (8 & 9),
and many Fedora (22 to 37).
