Unsolved Real Android device fails with 'cannot find crtbegin_so.o'
-
My app builds and runs on the android emulator just fine. When I try to run on a real device (Swift 2.0) I get several errors, the first of which is:
- :-1: error: cannot find crtbegin_so.o: No such file or directory
There are several more 'cannot finds': - llog
- lz
- lm
- ldl
- lstdc++
Since I have done no configuring at all for real android (aside from choosing arm64-v8a) I am at a loss as to how to proceed. There is some literature on missing crtbegin_so.o, but the solutioons require tinkering with clang commands. I don't want to start doing this as I know just enough to make a right mess of things, but not enough to sort it out.
Any suggestions as to how to procede?
Thanks in advance

While you're waiting for someone who knows what they're talking about to reply, do you mind if I guess? I've never done Android but those are basic shared libraries so one of:- those libraries do not exist on the target
- they do exist, but your app is not set to search for them correctly
- you're supposed to deploy via some package that sets it up or includes them
- you're not supposed to distribute for shared, you're supposed to statically link
? :)

@JonB Sounds like you know more than me..... My problem is that there is either something simple that I have got wrong, or its a known bug. If I go diddling around with stuff that I do not understand then I am likely to muck things up big-time and cause more problems with my 'interfering'.
But thanks for the suggestions

It won't be a bug. It would affect everybody. To go from the emulator to a real device, are you supposed to "package" and "install" it in some way? Hopefully a kindly Qt-Android expert will drop by.... -
I had the same problem. I solved it by going to Projects->Build Environment and changing ANDROID_NDK_PLATFORM from android-16 to android-28 and then "Build->Run qmake" and Build.
