some of this is done already (sqlite usage comes to mind). the cross-compile stuff definitely needs work - I've said that before. Android works as it is a complete self-contained "buildroot" (sdk+ndk), and the darwin/ios builds use xcode, which is the same way. The Yocto build works as Phil describes it. For anything else, it will break on several assumptions that are not too terribly hard to fix, extlibs usage being one set of those - but nobody is really working on that. _______________________________________________ iotivity-dev mailing list iotivity-dev@lists.iotivity.org https://lists.iotivity.org/mailman/listinfo/iotivity-dev
