building android

[LCMark]

Ah - use r6b and all should be well. I suspect they've tweaked the way the stdc++ library is used - in the first few versions of the ndk it didn't work, then they made it work around r5c but it was a little broken so you had to link/include to the paths directly.

any idea where to download older versions... can't see any link on the ndk page...

[LCMark]

The links are in the Readme.md file at the root of the repository (https://github.com/runrev/livecode/blob ... /README.md).
In this case you need http://dl.google.com/android/ndk/androi ... 86.tar.bz2

Sorry.. I'd missed that

Builds fine with that version

very excited to have just tested mergJSON on android... it now covers all the LC platforms

I've created a build-extension-androd.sh in the tools folder which takes a path to the external folder and a name for the external as parameters, builds then adds the external to the lcext file. Unfortunately I couldn't work out how to export an environment variable from Android.mk so in order to make the shell script generic I had to add the external name parameter... anyway... it seems to work... and I think could be run from a build rule in Xcode. The main issue is unlike iOS externals it relies on having a working livecode repo with ndk in the right spot etc... anyway, happy to send a pull request if you want it.
