So I updated my Android ADT plugin for Eclipse to version 10. I am running on a fully x86_64 system, but installed just the libraries I needed to run the Android SDK. (I have previously detailed this here and here.) In any case, I ran into a problem with the Fedora 13 zlib 32-bit package. Whenever I would run the "aapt" or try to compile anything from within Eclipse, I would get the following error:
/opt/android-sdk-linux_x86/platform-tools/aapt: /lib/libz.so.1: no version information available (required by /opt/android-sdk-linux_x86/ platform-tools/aapt) To resolve this issue, I had to download the latest zlib source code and compile it from scratch as a 32-bit application. HOWEVER, I did not install it over the zlib located in /usr/lib. I didn't want to mess anything else that would be using that library - or have it clobbered after a yum update. Instead I installed it into the platform- tools directory in the android sdk directory. In detail: 1) Installed the 32-bit stubs header files. This allows me to cross compile using 32-bit libraries: glibc-devel-2.12.2-1.i686 yum -y install glibc-devel-2.12.2-1.i686 2) Downloaded zlib from their website: http://www.zlib.net/ wget http://zlib.net/zlib-1.2.5.tar.gz 3) Uncompressed the file and ran configure tar -xzf zlib-1.2.5.tar.gz cd zlib-1.2.5 ./configure 4) Edited the resulting Makefile , replacing "-m64" with "-m32" cat Makefile | sed -e 's/-m64/-m32/g' > Makefile.32 5) Ran make with that file make -f Makefile.32 6) Hard linked the resulting libz.* to the android platform tools directory. (Hard link in case a future Android update clobbers that directory, I don't have to recompile libz.) In this case, I have my Android SDK files in /opt, replace as needed. ln libz.* /opt/android-sdk-linux_x86/platform-tools/ Now all my applications compile correctly for the Android. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
