My first problem was that I could not get a clean build within the Android
build system, but by configuring with the --without-zlib and --disable-ipv6
flags I was able to get the errors down to stropts.h and ifaddr.h related
errors.
I know Android is a weirdo system, but I didn't expect that. Any chance you
could educate us by showing the configure output when you run that on your
system? And are you saying configure _failed_ when you didn't specify
--without-zlib and --disable-ipv6? It is supposed to detect the absense by
itself (as far as possible).
By hand modifying <curl-source>/lib/curl_config.h and commenting out all the
related variables (eg (HAVE_STROPTS_H) for stropts and ifaddr I was able to
get a clean build.
(Is it dangerous to comment out these variables, will the library be no good
now.)
Those defines only tell if those header files are existing. If you can compile
fine without those defines everything is fine and they aren't needed anyway!
I got a .a static library but have been unable to get it loaded into an
Android project without an unknown fatal error from the Android Operating
System.
Now my Andorid ignorance will show, but I don't know why that would happen or
what possible extra magic that might be required to get things going... Do
other configure + libtool based projects generally work when you build them
for Android?
