Android application compiles on ndk15c but crashes after libc++_shared.so library not found error

[virtualint]

Hello,

We are using Qt 5.12.1 commercial version and we succesfully build our application for Linux x86_64 and Windows x86.

I am trying to compile with following configuration and using android-g++ spec

...
    QMAKE_CXXFLAGS += -std=c++11
    DEFINES += "_GLIBCXX_USE_CXX11_ABI=0"    
    DEFINES += "APP_STL=c++_static"
    DEFINES += "ANDROID_STL=c++_static"
    DEFINES += "APP_LDFLAGS=-latomic"
    DEFINES += "APP_PLATFORM=android-21"
    QMAKE_LFLAGS += -static-libstdc++ -static-libgcc
...

I almost tried to compile our application with the following ndks and standalone toolchains on Android

• r10e
• r11c
• r12b
• r13b
• r14b
• r15c
• r16b
• r19c

but when I try to deploy my application it crashes after installing apk and gives the following error:

I/art     (11850): Late-enabling -Xcheck:jni

Then I tried to manually add r10e gcc libc++_shared.so for anroidarm-eabi library to libs under android-build folder. Then I got the following error message:

 dlopen failed: cannot locate symbol "__ndk15ctypeIcE2idE" referenced by "libQt5Core.so" 

I also tried to remove c++_static configs from qmake but no chance.

What am I doing wrong? And which points I miss? I will be glad if I can solve this problem, I spend almost a week for the problem.

In addition to this, I was able to compile and run my application successfully with ndk-r10e and Qt 5.6.0 open source version.

P.S: I also checked the libQt5Core.so with readelf

Hi @virtualint and welcome

for Qt 5.12 and newer, you'll have to use "the latest " ndk. But If I remember correctly from other users, the latest r19c (release candidate back than) did not work correctly with qt either.

I'm running r18b and that's been working for me since I switched to 5.12

Hello @J-Hilk,

Thank you very much.

I tried r19c but QtCreator was not able to run my application. It still gives libc++_shared.so not found error. After this I manually copied the libc++_shared.so (under r19c) to android-build libs folder. Now I can successfully run my application on android again.

Regards
