Hi Brooks,
nice to hear back from you guys.
Well, David used to answer my questions re the ndk when I had no idea how to go further, he develops the toolchain so I guess there must be an advantage in his approach :)

mine was just a way I managed to deal with the problem I encoutred back in 2011.

So I let him explain the reason.

thanks a lot
Marco

Hello, Marco,

Thanks for pinging this -- I'm trying to work through some of the
libtool patch backlog, and I'll have a look at this in the next few days.

I note that David Turner also posted a patch for Android support in
libtool more recently:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/libtool-patches/2013-06/msg00002.html

The patches are fairly similar, although I think the organization of
David's patch (which keeps the "Android" and "glibc/ELF" blocks entirely
separate) is a bit better since Android is not glibc-based.

The one key difference here is that your patch uses $libname$shared_ext
for library_names_spec and soname_spec, whereas David's uses
$libname$release$shared_ext.  Is there a particular argument in favor of
one or the other of these?

Hi all,
I hope i'm writing to the right list. In the process of poring QGIS to
android I encountred a big limitation. The android system does not
support versioned shared libs. I wrote the attached patch and used it in
the configure scripts of 6 different libs (geos, proj, gsl, expat, gdal,
libiconv) with success.
I think more and more people will start soon porting more libs to
android, so it would be nice to have this in libtool. the crosscompiler
host call to use is: --host=arm-linux-androideabi

Thanks a lot for the great tool
