crosscompile for android

[herux]

Hi all,
please help me with the following error,
I try to arm crosscompile for android OS. only a HelloWorld project that uses dynlibs.pas unit.

I use a cross library of android NDK

thanks

How have you installed FPC? Which instructions have you followed to do that?

What is the source code of your test program?

[herux]

Thanks for the replay

I follows this http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Cross_compiling
or this http://alexmogurenko.com/blog/programming/android-building-free-pascal-compiler-for-android/
both links produce the same error
here is my helloworld code that work:

Code: [Select]

program helloworld;
begin
  writeln('Hello android from freepascal');
end.

and here is the code that error on compile,

Code: [Select]

program helloworld;
uses dynlibs;
begin
  writeln('Hello android from freepascal');
end.


I found this link http://honeypod.blogspot.com/2007/12/initialize-libc-for-android.html
but I don't understand yet, can someone explain it ?

EDIT:
Sorry, I am using
- ubuntu 10.04 x86_64.
- fpc from svn
- build ppcrossarm using cross binary binutils source or this http://www.codesourcery.com/

I have tried using the option -Xc to pass the linker and its compile succesfully, but if running on emulator or real device, i got "segmentation fault"

[felipemdc]

Does it work if you use these instructions instead:

http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Android_Interface#Using_the_pre-compiled_compiler

?

Hi @felipemdc
I have followed your instruction, but error still the same.
now I am using mandriva 2010 on virtualbox,

what should I do now? 

[Laksen]

Are you linking to the correct libraries, i.e have you copied the libraries from the target phone?

[marcov]

Does this target have glibc or some embedded libc ?

[herux]

yes. I use the correct library. it's from android NDK (Native Development Kit) http://developer.android.com/sdk/ndk/index.html

there are some libraries there, namely libc.so libdl.so, libz.so etc.
