Try this:
Run fpc -Tlinux -Parm -XParm-linux- -FL/system/bin/linker -sh libtest.dpr
Then remove "/system/bin/linker" from the input section in link.res
Then run ppas.sh

It seems that the dynamic linker is called something else on Android, and that fpc puts the dynamic linker as an input to the linker script(line 439 in t_linux.pas). As far as I know it should only specify the dynamic linker as a parameter to ld, and not as an input

It does worry me a bit that it says it can't find explicitely /lib/ld-linux.so.3 and not "just" ld-linux.so.3

I think the -XR option was added because of similar problems, see

http://lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php/topic,8084.msg57377.html#msg57377

You need to build a tree structure like on the target device, and then pass the root using -XR. 

In general, search "sheeva" threads, they contain a few msgs of me and Jonas with a lot of cross-arm experience in them.

Thank you for all the help. Much appreciated!

@Laksen: That works great! I have got my hello world sample working on android! So it goes like this. I assume you have the basic project framework allready set up, that loads a native lib and does a JNI call on it:

1. Create a dpr in the project/jni directory
2. Add jni.pas over there, include it and write a jni function
3. run: fpc -Tlinux -Parm -XParm-linux- -FL/system/bin/linker -olibyourproject.so -sh yourproject.dpr (replace "yourproject" by a different name)
4. Remove "/system/bin/linker" from the input section in link.res
5. Run chmod u+x ppas.sh (just to make sure it can execute).
6. Run ppas.sh
7. Move lib<yourproject>.so to project/libs/armeabi (make this dir if nonexistent)
6. cd to your project dir and execute "ant install" (make sure your device/emulator is connected and running).

Now you can start the app in your device. I will provide a working example later.

Do you mean that ld-linux.so.3 is the default used by FPC, while android uses /system/bin/linker? I have found the latter on my device. :)
So the solution was to override this default by generating a linker script. I only don't really know what link.res is and why I needed to remove /system/lib/linker.

Would it be possible to make this build process a bit simpler? I tried removing -sh but then it complained that /system/bin/linker was not there. Is there a way to tell FPC that I'm cross-compiling so that it doesn't look for the dynamic linker on the host machine?

Thanks alot!

Yes, if the method I suggested is correct. You should probably test it, to see if you can still load shared libraries on the platform

I'm not sure what you mean. I actually used your method described in your last post and it let me dynamically link my pascal-written library to the java app running in the JVM. Do you mean loading native shared libs from native code?

That's what I mean, yes.

The dynamic loaded JNI functions in your case aren't ever called, so it doesn't prove very much(except that it is able to link without throwing errors)

Well, that's my fault. I didn't provide all the results I guess.

So I made this file (project/jni/hello-jni.dpr):
Code: [Select]
library hellojni;

uses
  SysUtils,
  JNI;

function Java_com_example_hellojni_HelloJni_stringFromJNI(PEnv: PJNIEnv; this: JObject): JString;
var
  I: Integer;
  S: String;
begin
    S := '';
    for I := 0 to 9 do
    begin
      S := S + IntToStr(I) + ' ';
    end;
    S := 'Lets count  '+S;
    Result := (PEnv^).NewStringUTF(PEnv, PChar(S) );
end;

exports Java_com_example_hellojni_HelloJni_stringFromJNI;

end.

I compile/link this file to get project/libs/armeabi/libhellojni.so.

The project also contains this JAVA file (project/src/com/example/hellojni/HelloJNI.java)
Code: [Select]
package com.example.hellojni;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.widget.TextView;
import android.os.Bundle;

public class HelloJni extends Activity
{
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
    {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        TextView  tv = new TextView(this);
        tv.setText( stringFromJNI() );
        setContentView(tv);
    }

    public native String  stringFromJNI();

    static {
        System.loadLibrary("hellojni");
    }
}

If I use the steps described earlier, I will get the HelloJNI app on my tablet. When I execute it, it shows me:
Quote
Lets count 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

So that's definitely proof that it links and runs correctly.

But I find the build process quite cumbersome (having to edit link.res etc). Is there a way to do this in less steps?

Thanks!

What I meant is that the pascal program doesn't call any dynamic linked procedures. When you call NewStringUTF it simply calls a pointer which is given from the Java program

Ok I get it. Do you have any suggestions to easily test this?
I could try to link against OpenGLESv2.so perhaps and just call eglGetDisplay(). I'll keep you posted.

-FLlibdl.so

Android have this one instead of ld-linux.so, so add this to your compiler options and set path to lib directory from Android NDK.

Yes. it compiles smoothly  when using -FLlibdl.so  Thanks for that! :)

Hello! I compiled the application for the management and tested on the Samsung Galaxy s 2 i9100G application will not run. According tried on the emulator, just does not start, logcat brought this:
