Great ! thanks for the pointer. > Android use a fairly recent kernel but a different libc (bionic). > There are two approaches to solve this: > - port lxc-commands to bionic > - link statically liblxc against glic (compiled with the Android toolchain) We can statically link against the glibc for the proof of concept but in the mid/long term that won't be suitable for an embedded system. I think we should port lxc to bionic and factor out/improve the lxc code. > Am i correct? > > On Fri, Feb 11, 2011 at 5:40 PM, Daniel Lezcano<daniel.lezc...@free.fr> > wrote: >> On 02/11/2011 06:21 AM, Ludovic Guégan wrote: >>> Hi all, >>> >>> First, thanks! >>> >>> I am looking for a way to have a lxc container running inside an Android >>> device. >>> So far my goal is to isolate a process as a proof of concept. >>> Android use the bionic lic and not the gnu libc. >>> >>> Do you have feed-back regarding the difficulties/challenges i can face >>> during this Android port? >> I am interested to help you on this.
