protobuf/lib: pread failed: is a directory, cross-compilation, deploy client application to Android phone

[a_so]

Hello, I try to run a client application on an Android phone. I use Qt 5.8 for Android on Centos 6 x86-64, qwt 6.3.1 and protobuf 2.5.0.
I cross-compiled protobuf for arm-linux-androideabi.
Configure step:

sudo ./configure --prefix=/media/qt5-qwt6/android_sdk/protobuf_android --target=arm-linux-androideabi --enable-cross-compile --with-protoc=protoc --with-sysroot=/media/qt5-qwt6/android_sdk/Sdk/ndk-bundle/sysroot 

I use compiler Android GCC(arm-4.9). But at step make, I get the Error:

/media/qt5-qwt6/android_sdk/Sdk/ndk-bundle/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.9/prebuilt/linux-x86_64/bin/../lib/gcc/arm-linux-androideabi/4.9.x/../../../../arm-linux-androideabi/bin/ld: fatal error: /media/qt5-qwt6/android_sdk/protobuf_android/lib: pread failed: Is a directory

I have already tried to call libprotobuf.so in the path but that leads to -ldns_sd, -lprotobuf and -lqwt not being detected. I am grateful for any help to overcome this error.

@a_so Remove blank between -L and the path to the library:

LIBS += -L/media/qt5-qwt6/qwt_android/qwt-6.1.3/lib -lqwt
# and here
LIBS += -L/media/qt5-qwt6/android_sdk/protobuf_android/lib -lprotobuf

[a_so]

Hi jsulm!

I have removed the blanks, but now -ldns_sd and -lprotobuf are not found. This is my compile output.

[JohanSolo]

It looks like your libraries at /media/qt5-qwt6/ are not compatible with the targetted platform. Is it possible you're trying to mix x86 and x64 builds?

[jsulm]

@a_so What is the exact name of the protobuf library?
Is it really located in /media/qt5-qwt6/android_sdk/protobuf_android/lib ?

[jsulm]

@a_so To add to @JohanSolo : you can find out for which architecture the lib was build calling:

file /media/qt5-qwt6/android_sdk/protobuf_android/lib/libprotobuf.so

[a_so]

@jsulm used library is libprotobuf.so.8.0.0 which indeed is under the specified directory.
I built it for arm-linux-androideabi on my Centos virtual machine following this script

link text

My phone uses Android Marshmallow
Chipset Qualcomm MSM8992 Snapdragon 808
CPU Hexa-core (4x1.4 GHz Cortex-A53 & 2x1.8 GHz Cortex-A57)

I am quite new to Qt and this is my first project I try to build for Android.

[jsulm]

@a_so Can you please execute

file /media/qt5-qwt6/android_sdk/protobuf_android/lib/libprotobuf.so

and post its output here?

[a_so]

output is:

/media/qt5-qwt6/android_sdk/protobuf_android/lib/libprotobuf.so: symbolic link to `libprotobuf.so.8.0.0'

[jsulm]

@a_so OK, then do:

file /media/qt5-qwt6/android_sdk/protobuf_android/lib/libprotobuf.so.8.0.0

and post the output here...

[a_so]

/media/qt5-qwt6/android_sdk/protobuf_android/lib/libprotobuf.so.8.0.0: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, BuildID[sha1]=ebd5a270582d8e3188c77f4027be7df7058f5f1d, not stripped

for qwt I get the following output:

/media/qt5-qwt6/qwt_android/qwt-6.1.3/lib/libqwt.so: ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, ARM, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), not stripped

[jsulm]

@a_so As you can see it is x86_64 binary, not ARM...

[a_so]

@jsulm yes, I see. My cross compilation for arm did not work obviously. I will try to compile it again.

[a_so]

I have managed to cross compile protobuf 2.5.0 for arm-linux-androideabi with this script:

#!/bin/bash
export NDK=/media/qt5-qwt6/ndk10/android-ndk-r10e
export SYSROOT=$NDK/platforms/android-21/arch-arm

export TOOLCHAIN=$NDK/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.9/prebuilt/linux-x86_64

export PATH=$PATH:$TOOLCHAIN/bin

export CC="$TOOLCHAIN/bin/arm-linux-androideabi-gcc --sysroot $SYSROOT"
export CXX="$TOOLCHAIN/bin/arm-linux-androideabi-g++ --sysroot $SYSROOT"
export CXXSTL=$NDK/sources/cxx-stl/gnu-libstdc++/4.9

}

# pwd is current directory
CPU=arm
PREFIX=$(pwd)/android/$CPU
ADDI_CFLAGS="-marm"
build_one

# Inspect the library architecture specific information
# arm-linux-androideabi-readelf -A build/lib/libprotobuf-lite.a

find for protoc delivers:

/home/staff/Desktop/protobuf/protobuf-2.5.0/build/bin/protoc: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, ARM, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), not stripped

next step, I linked to the libraries in my Qt project in .pri file:

#Protobuf support (arm compiled)
LIBS += -L/home/staff/Desktop/protobuf/protobuf-2.5.0/build/lib -lprotobuf
INCLUDEPATH += /home/staff/Desktop/protobuf/protobuf-2.5.0/build/include

#Protobuf support (arm compiled)
LIBS += -L/home/staff/Desktop/protobuf/protobuf-2.5.0/build/lib -lprotobuf
INCLUDEPATH += /home/staff/Desktop/protobuf/protobuf-2.5.0/build/include

When I try to run the project on my phone, protobuf is found but I get the following errors:

My questions are:

1. what architecture/configuration does qwt need? I have several of them on my machine

/home/staff/Qt5.8.0/5.8/android_armv7/lib/libqwt.so.6.1.2: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (GNU/Linux), dynamically linked, BuildID[sha1]=131bd147d36585511f96ccd14ba1ccdd88c327cc, stripped

2. why is -ldns_sd not found? The dynamic libraries are definitely installed. Is it because they are not static libraries like the ones for protobuf?

/usr/lib64/libdns_sd.so
/usr/lib64/libdns_sd.so.1
/usr/lib64/libdns_sd.so.1.0.0

Thank you for your patience with me

[jsulm]

@a_so You need ARM build of libqwt (same as protobuf) as you're going to use it on an ARM processor, right?
Fix your pro file:

LIBS += -L/media/qt5-qwt6/qwt_android/qwt-6.1.3/lib -lqwt
INCLUDEPATH += /media/qt5-qwt6/qwt_android/qwt-6.1.3/include

Are those directories on your host machine?

/usr/lib64/libdns_sd.so
/usr/lib64/libdns_sd.so.1
/usr/lib64/libdns_sd.so.1.0.0

If so, then please keep in mind that you cannot use them on your target (again: your target is ARM). You need libdns_sd.so in your sysroot. Is it there?

[a_so]

I edited the .pro file as you suggested, but I get the warning

:-1: warning: skipping incompatible /home/staff/Qt5.8.0/5.8/android_armv7/lib/libqwt.so while searching for qwt

The warning appears, yet I do not see any associated errors with qwt. I guess, this warning is implemented somewhere in the project and appears. But of course I used the paths you suggested. I should not worry too much about this warning, right?

The directories are on my host machine on which I run my qt. What do you mean by sysroot?

[jsulm]

@a_so Do you build for Android when this warning occurs?

Your sysroot seems to be --with-sysroot=/media/qt5-qwt6/android_sdk/Sdk/ndk-bundle/sysroot

[a_so]

Yes. I found the problem for this. I copied the library files in there once and as the content in this path is loaded when I try to build the project, this warning gets displayed. My errors now are all linked to libdns from avahi.

[jsulm]

@a_so Where is libdns_sd.so ?

[a_so]

it is in:

/usr/lib64

But this is a x86_64 version for my linux host system. I want to build my shared library libdns_sd.so for arm architecture, but was not successful as a file is missing according to the link:

http://gaiger-programming.blogspot.co.at/2015/12/utilize-avahi-libraries-in-android-for.html

I have already contacted avahi but have not received a reply yet.
