I'm wanting to rebuild wpa_supplicant from source (http:// hostap.epitest.fi/wpa_supplicant/) and I'm having problems getting the android toolchains set up so that I can properly cross-compile with the ARM compiler and link with the proper Bionic libraries. Ideally, I'd like to only have to build wpa_supplicant, without having to build the platform or any other part of the android system. I would then just push it onto the /system partition in place of the existing / system/bin/wpa_supplicant and be able to use a modified version of the supplicant. I've googled around quite a bit and am surprised that I haven't been able to find instructions on how to build only a specific external project. Therefore, I have a couple of questions:
1) Is there any reason to think that this isn't a fairly straightforward process? Should there be any reason that I couldn't just use the posted hostapd/wpa_supplicant source and have it fairly effortlessly link into android? 2) How do I set the build environment with the proper cross-compilers and include paths? I've looked at /build/envsetup.sh, but I don't know how to get this truly configured properly. I must be missing something. My dev machine is ubuntu 9.04, and I'm running a modified, rooted NexusOne with 2.6.32. Thanks for any help - hopefully this is a trivial task and there's documentation somewhere that I accidentally overlooked.
