New to discussion, apologies in advance for any inadvertent misuse of terminology / standards. (also, I tried e-mailing this post directly last night, but it doesn't appear to have shown up, yet. double-apologies if double-post).
I'm trying to port my project, which involves some serialization code, to Android. I followed instructions to build boost 1.49 found here:
https://github.com/MysticTreeGames/Boost-for-Android
and can successfully compile my application using crystax NDK r7 (gcc 4.5.3) , and link it to the Serialization library.
Perhaps, it's worth building the most recent boost version with the latest NDK/toolchain? FWIW, boost1.53 gets built with the standard NDK r8d flawlessly (at least, the libs I need). I'm using the following b2 line: b2 release --with-serialization --with-thread --with-date_time --with-system --with-filesystem --layout=system threading=multi link=static runtime-link=static toolset=gcc-android target-os=linux threadapi=pthread stage and my user-config.jam is as follows (note that it uses gcc 4.7 toolchain, which is not the default in r8d): import os ; if [ os.name ] = CYGWIN || [ os.name ] = NT { androidPlatform = windows ; } else if [ os.name ] = LINUX { androidPlatform = linux-x86 ; } else if [ os.name ] = MACOSX { androidPlatform = darwin-x86 ; } androidNDKRoot = C:/android-ndk-r8d ; using gcc : android : $(androidNDKRoot)/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.7/prebuilt/$(androidPlatform)/bin/arm-linux-androideabi-g++ : <compileflags>--sysroot=$(androidNDKRoot)/platforms/android-8/arch-arm <compileflags>-mthumb <compileflags>-Os <compileflags>-fno-strict-aliasing <compileflags>-O2 <compileflags>-DNDEBUG <compileflags>-g <compileflags>-lstdc++ <compileflags>-I$(androidNDKRoot)/sources/cxx-stl/gnu-libstdc++/4.7/include <compileflags>-I$(androidNDKRoot)/sources/cxx-stl/gnu-libstdc++/4.7/libs/armeabi/include <compileflags>-D__GLIBC__ <compileflags>-D_GLIBCXX__PTHREADS <compileflags>-D__arm__ <compileflags>-D_REENTRANT <archiver>$(androidNDKRoot)/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.7/prebuilt/$(androidPlatform)/bin/arm-linux-androideabi-ar <ranlib>$(androidNDKRoot)/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.7/prebuilt/$(androidPlatform)/bin/arm-linux-androideabi-ranlib ;
