Hello all, I recently took it upon myself to get proton-c working with android. I ended up being successful in my endeavor. It took me a couple weeks to get it working but I have put in some effort to make the process straightforward. The bulk of the work did not involve many changes to proton-c code, as it was mostly focused on getting the library to build for android. I did have to change a couple lines of code in driver.c, (getprotobyname doesn't work). My method utilizes the android build system 'ndk-build' and the swig bindings produced from proton 0.6. Because of the lack of swig bindings in proton-c 0.7 I have not used this version on android. I have been able to successfully create apps and upload them to my phone for sending and receiving messages with proton-c.
This was not a straightforward process, but with the work I've done it's easy to build proton-c targeting ARM and other android architectures. I have a folder with a readme that lists the instructions for building the proton-c library targeting android architectures and all it involves is downloading the ndk, and calling 'ndk-build' three times in three different folders. I was wondering how I can contribute this to the proton project? It would be really cool if my work could somehow be included into the build system for proton so that with a simple option the ARM architecture libraries could be created alongside the normal build targets. For example I envision something along the lines of: cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DINCLUDE_ANDROID .. Thanks, Jimmy
