Android - How to install .so file?

luca

@ekkescorner Do you get the same error if you try

./Configure shared android

?

ekkescorner

@luca just asked in interests list - perhaps I got some info there

luca

@ekkescorner Ok,
anyway I just tryed on my Linux PC and it worked:

cd openssl-1.0.2h
export AR=/home/luca/android-ndk-r10e/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.9/prebuilt/linux-x86_64/bin/arm-linux-androideabi-ar
export CC=/home/luca/android-ndk-r10e/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.9/prebuilt/linux-x86_64/bin/arm-linux-androideabi-gcc
export LD=/home/luca/android-ndk-r10e/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.9/prebuilt/linux-x86_64/bin/arm-linux-androideabi-ld
export ANDROID_DEV=/home/luca/android-ndk-r10e/platforms/android-21/arch-arm/usr
./Configure shared android-armv7
make depend
make build_libs

ekkescorner

@luca difference is
OSX
1.0.2k

and what does
make depend ?

ekkescorner

@luca just also tried 1.0.2.h

got info to execute make depend

then error:

Configured for android-armv7.

*** Because of configuration changes, you MUST do the following before
*** building:

	make depend
ekkes-MBP:openssl-1.0.2h admin$ make depend
making depend in crypto...

@luca said in Android - How to install .so file?:

@ekkescorner Do you get the same error if you try
./Configure shared android
?

got the same error

who has successfully installed openssl for Qt 5.8 on OSX ?

@ekkescorner Ok,
anyway I just tryed on my Linux PC and it worked:
cd openssl-1.0.2h

...

export LD=/home/luca/android-ndk-r10e/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.9/prebuilt/linux-x86_64/bin/arm-linux-androideabi-ld

why have you added this line ?
and should I use 'export AR= and CC=' instead of AR= and CC= in docs ?

thx again

ekkescorner

found https://github.com/openssl/openssl/issues/1531 and https://bruteforce.gr/bypassing-clang-error-unknown-argument.html
and tried to add at first line
ARCHFLAGS=-Wno-error=unused-command-line-argument-hard-error-in-future

didn't work - same error
also I guess GCC is used because of
CC=$ANDROID_NDK_ROOT/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.9/prebuilt/darwin-x86_64/bin/arm-linux-androideabi-gcc
so the error shouldn't happen ?

also found https://github.com/android-ndk/ndk/issues/5 mentioning 1.0.2g added -mandroid,
so I tried downloading 1.0.2f
same error

I'm lost now - no one out there on OSX already added openssl libs to Qt 5.8 ?

thx

@ekkescorner I used "export" because otherwise my bash terminal didn't use the environmental variables.
LD is used to force the android version of the linker. Don't know if you can avoid it.

did the same

now another error - probably the LD is only needed on Linux ?

created a Bug: https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-59375 - will make it easier to follow

ekkescorner

from Android list I got a link to: https://github.com/orangefour/android-openssl

cloned this repo, modified pathes in .pri

build and run app on Android 7 and it works - so I can go on :)

but this way is no solution for my projects because prebuilt .so are used
would be a security hole

so I'm still waiting for an answer HowTo install openssl on OSX following https://github.com/orangefour/android-openssl

ekkescorner

finally did it the secure way and built from openssl sources on OSX :)

used the .sh scripts from https://github.com/orangefour/android-openssl

in Terminal:

cd <path/to/scripts>
chmod 755 ./build-all-arch.sh
chmod 755 ./setenv-android-mod.sh
export ANDROID_NDK_ROOT=/daten/_android/android-ndk-r10e
export OPENSSL_VERSION="openssl-1.0.2k"
./build-all-arch.sh

inside projects adding a .pri pointing to the .so files:

android {
  ANDROID_EXTRA_LIBS += $$PWD/my/path/to/prebuilt/armeabi-v7a/libcrypto.so
  ANDROID_EXTRA_LIBS += $$PWD/my/path/to/android-openssl/prebuilt/armeabi-v7a/libssl.so
}

will blog about in detail

ekkescorner

and here's my github repo

https://github.com/ekke/android-openssl-qt

blogpost will follow

@ekkescorner Thanks for sharing !

Tiago Torre do Vale

Hi, could you share the .so files?
I cant't compiled them, I'm in a windows box.

thanks

ekkescorner

@Tiago-Torre-do-Vale take a look at https://github.com/orangefour/android-openssl - there are .so files

from my POV it's not recommended to use prebuilt .so files for libs like ssl and crypto.

the scripts should also work on windows. you should have installed cygwin or so.
I'm doing all my dev work on osx but I'm sure others will help you to make the .sh work on windows

Tiago Torre do Vale

Hi, thanks !!!
I managed to work with the prebuilt.

ekkescorner

@Tiago-Torre-do-Vale great to hear
Attention: APP can randomly crash if executing some requests via QNAM
I opened another tread on this: https://forum.qt.io/topic/77150/qt-5-8-qnam-openssl-crash-openssl_threads

Hi,

I did libcrypt.so and libssl.so using ./Configure shared android because ./Configure shared android-armv7 said that target was not existing.
I include the .so files in my Qt Project but still have crach with XMLHttpRequest.

Get openSSL with android or android-armv7 change something?
