Windows下编译使用NDK编译Boost库

背景

安卓开发中需要使用线程库

准备工作

1. 下载ndk10e：地址
2. 下载boost库：boost_1_69_0.zip
3. 将“android-ndk-r10e-windows-x86.zip”和“boost_1_69_0.zip”解压到G盘根目录，得：“G:\boost_1_69_0\”和"G:\android-ndk-r10e"

成功编译的步骤

1. 运行"G:\boost_1_69_0\bootstrap.bat"
2. 替换"G:\boost_1_69_0\project-config.jam"文件的内容，可复制下文：

# define platform name of ndk
import os ;
if [ os.name ] = CYGWIN || [ os.name ] = NT
{
    androidPlatform = windows ;
}
else if [ os.name ] = LINUX
{
    androidPlatform = linux-x86_64 ;
}
else if [ os.name ] = MACOSX
{
    androidPlatform = darwin-x86 ;
}

# replace with your own path
ANDROID_NDK = "G:/android-ndk-r10e" ;

# compile with gcc, you can change compiler to clang or others

# replace with libraries you wanna to build

libraries = --with-thread ;

1. 打开cmd窗口，切换当前目录到"G:\boost_1_69_0",执行命令

.\b2.exe link=static runtime-link=static target-os=linux --stagedir=android

遇到的问题

找不到g++

报错的部分内容如下：

G:/boost_1_69_0/tools/build/src/tools\gcc.jam:164: in gcc.init from module gcc
error: toolset gcc initialization:
error: provided command 'G:/android-ndk-r10e/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.
9/prebuilt/windows-x86_64/bin/arm-linux-androideabi-g++' not found
error: initialized from project-config.jam:56

核对文件的路径发现，其真实的路径应该为"G:/android-ndk-r10e/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.
9/prebuilt/windows/bin/arm-linux-androideabi-g++",观察“project-config.jam”发现，路径中的只有“windows”没有“-x86_64”,所以需要删除。如下图所示~~~~

参数错误

报错的部分内容如下：

    - default architecture     : arm

ers.less' being called~~~~

根据提示，查看文件“G:/boost_1_69_0/tools/build/src/tools\common.jam”的第973行，如下图所示：猜测与gcc的版本有关系，而从参考文档1中复制的配置文件中有关于gcc的内容只有如图所示的部分：，统合错误提示，猜测与前面的android有关，删除后再次尝试，编译成功

延伸思考

1. 配置文件中已经指定了默认的toolset，所以不用在命令行中再次指定了，同理,需要编译的library也在配置文件中指定了，也不需要在命令行中再次指定，故，相比与参考文档，第3步的命令更短、更方便。猜测可以全部放到配置文件中，命令仅.\b2.exe，应该也行~~~~
