Build minicap for Android N (Preview)

[haihaoshen]

Hi,

I am trying to build minicap for Android N. Is there any instructions on how to do that? I would like to build from AOSO source code.

Thanks a lot!

Currently you can just copy the libs from the latest built version. Works
with N and M.

Thanks a lo! As I found, the max version is android-23, which should support Android M. Do you mean it also supports Android N?

BTW, is there any way to build with AOSP code?

[sorccu]

Yes it does, just copy the libs under the new SDK name and it will work.

[sorccu]

You can build with AOSP if you update the build scripts, it's not a big task.

Thanks for your information.

I found there are prebuilt libs under minicap/jni/minicap-shared/aosp/libs, which contains different android version from 9 to 23; while minicap/libs also generates one copy (single version) after using ndk-build. May I know what;s the single version here? Is it related with ndk-build version or something else?

One more question on build from AOSP code: where folder should I copy minicap/jni to aosp folder? aosp is a local folder, not from dock.

[sorccu]

Just take the folder called android-23. Duplicate it and name it android-24. It should now work.

Got it for this question, thanks.

(pre-built in git) minicap/jni/minicap-shared/aosp/libs/android-23/arm64-v8a: minicap.so
(ndk-build newly) minicap/libs/arm64-v8a: minicap minicap-nopie minicap.so

What's the difference between two minicap.so files? Which version does the minicap.so (ndk-build) support?

[sorccu]

It doesn't support anything. It's just a dummy library that makes the main codebase compile against the symbols in the shared library.

[haihaoshen]

got it, thanks again!
