Hi folks, and happy new year to all! I have been playing around with some simple build utilities to get Chicken onto my Android phone (again!).
The fine work <https://github.com/chicken-mobile/android-chicken> by Bevuta allows us to build a cross-chicken which can cross-compile eggs and the Chicken runtime. This is great, but I always spend a lot of time going from there to getting a Chicken ecosystem running on my app, with eggs and a repl. So I've played around with automating parts of that and integrating it with ndk-build. What I've accomplished so far is basically fewer manual steps when starting a new Chicken app: - autodetect package name and android platform when building cross-chicken (no config-file editing which I always get wrong) - provide an ndk module for chicken that your jni/main.c can depend on - make the eggs and unit survive through installation (harder than you think!) I'm basing my work on Bevuta's Makefile, and created a new branch here: https://github.com/chicken-mobile/android-chicken/tree/chicken.mk I've also scrapped together a gist that should reproduce what I've done so far. This tries to continue what https://wiki.call-cc.org/embeddingdescribes: https://gist.github.com/kristianlm/8229999 I though I'd announce it here in case it turns out to be useful! I'd also love to hear about similar efforts. K.
