I did an extensive search to try and find if anyone built binutils to run native on android and came up empty. I did, however, find someone who claims to have gotten Fortran to compile and run on android (specificimpulses.blogspot.com/2011/01/my-android-speaks-fortran-yours-can-too.html) He seems to have problems at the linker phase. I was wondering what people thought about the possibility. I would like to mess around with arm assembler on my android device whilst out and about...
So this is awesome, I set the build and the host environment to arm-android-eabi and I magickally got out i686-elf binaries that run on my linux workstation...amazing! I didn't know that cirrus made a processor with the smarts to automagically execute arm-android-eabi target code when presented with it...
../binutils-2.19.1/configure --prefix=/opt/compilers/gcc/native-android --build=arm-android-eabi --host=arm-android-eabi --target=arm-android-eabi --with-sysroot=../android-ndk-r5/platforms/android-8/arch-arm
So in addition to that I tried to wipe my path clean and point only to the binutils and gcc under the ndk-toolchain directory but it gave me the infamous 'cannot create working executable'....wow? ya think, config?
Anyone know how to turn off the test for building working executables when cross compiling, or perhaps to point in the configure script options where to find crti.o which is what was missing at the link phase?
Strike that, I mean Via. my workstation uses a via processor, not that that is important here...
Success! Well, in as much as I was able to compile binaries of some of the binutils and run them on my g-tab. I haven't tried to assemble a piece of code and link it yet. What I did was use the info in android-ndk-r5/docs/STANDALONE-TOOLCHAIN.html
which suggested that I run:
$NDK/build/tools/make-standalone-toolchain.sh --platform=android-5 --install-dir=/tmp/my-android-toolchain
which created a standalone toolchain self enclosed. I then set path carefully so I was pointing to the toolchain directory's bins. Then I ran configure using
../binutils-2.19.1/configure --prefix=/root/android --host=arm-android-eabi --target=arm-android-eabi
and made a few comments to code--real hacks like casting &stat.time to a time_t * and changing #ifdef tests to force inclusion of the correct code. I also had to link:
ln -s /root/my-android-toolchain/bin/arm-linux-androideabi-ar /root/my-android-toolchain/arm-android-eabi-ar
just because I was tired and didn't want to f**k with the compile script to get it to point to the correct set of toolchain binaries. In the end, I copied over nm-new, ld-new, as-new, and strip-new to my gtab and ran them and got errors that I expected like:
as-new aa.s
Error: can't open aa.s for reading: No such file or directory. Indicating that at least gas was running native on my gtab...
Of course, that is a first tiny step....
Btb, I had to unzip into the /data directory on android for the executables to run. Ran them in a terminal emulator...

FAQ
Q. I get the error - 'java' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
A. You either, do not have the Java installed or have not added java to your PATH in Environment Variables. Either install Java or add Java to your PATH.
Thanks dude.
Any feedback, problems or suggestions?
wow it works! Easy to use! thanks!
Thank you.
Are there any Linux wizards out there who can help me port this?
New version 0.3 available.
tried it all i get is cannot find specified path
edit: forget that i fixed it had to modify the it as im using jdk 1.7.0
I don't know why I changed it, but in v0.3 it assumes you have installed the Java Development Kit (JDK) on a 64bit system (it mirrors my system rather than a universal approach).
If you have java added to your windows PATH, try using these files, just extract these to the same directory and run these instead.
works great! small suggestion is for the batch file to ask for the location of your jdk.
also have error checking as the batch said it worked but didnt at first (due to the location of the jdk)

I am using a 64 bit system I have jdk on both program files 64 bit and (x86) and the path in the test keys ran to jdk 1.6.0_25(x86) so I used notepad ++ edit it to 1.7.0(x86) tried again it signed and zipalinged no problem
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Your right, I wrote this quickly to fulfil my needs on my system.
I will update to v0.4 with error checking & JDK checking soon.
Thanks for the suggestion.
EDIT: Seems you beat me to the reply leith. If your JDK is added to your windows path then it shouldnt matter whether its 32 or 64 bit. When I updated from v0.2 to v0.3 I used my personal build rather than the universal "java" approach. I can see that as explicit paths are specified in the .bat. v0.4 will add error checking and will most probably include a stripped out java package.
awesome! keep up the good work dude

Yeah, I had to take the site down again. Been hit with 2 DDoS attacks in the last 3 days. I don't know why.
I will have it back up at some point tonight. I will PM you when its back up.
Hi guys, i'm trying to build some of the applications in the external directory of the Gingerbread source tree, but I'm running into some problems.
When I cd into external/e2fsprogs for example and run "mm" I get "nothing to be done for all_modules". Same with dropbear, etc. I even tried "touching" a file to see if the build system would pick it up and it did for dropbear, but not for e2fsprogs.
If I cd into external/e2fsprogs/e2fsck and run mm I get a build error saying it can't find some libraries which I think should have been built before it.
Any idea whats going on and why I can't build e2fsprogs?
Thanks, Matt.
So it looks like the Android.mk file is testing for x86 Target arch. Anyone know why its being limited to x86? I tried commenting out the test, but I got failures.
APK to Java Beta
Description:
Since I'm into making Android Apps nowadays, I thought of making this tool to save me (and you) time. So I started coding it and it worked out pretty well so far. The tool can decompiles your selected apk to Java code, to learn from it, so as an educational purpose.
Additionally it also can decompile to smali code and it can decompile the resources of the app. It's currently a very early beta but it works successfully (at least at my computer)
Used External Tools:
- 7za
- apktool
- baksmali-1.4.0
- jd-gui
- dex2jar
Requirements:
- JRE 6/7 (I think that's all, but maybe android-sdk is needed, I guess not)

You're welcome! Please let me know your experience with the app, it still needs a lot of testing!
Alright, so i tested the 0.6 beta. I chose my app from eclipse, as i already knew its source code. Decompiling into resources and smali files are working totally fine, but it is not able to generate the java code. I got that message :-
I went to jd-gui and did what i was told, but nothing happened. After clicking OK, an error message came that the input file was invalid. After that the tool won't close. I had to open the task manager to end it.

Thanks for your feedback, I had the same error once, it seems there is a problem with this file "dex2jar.bat". somehow I just doesn't get executed the right way, the strange thing is that it's executed the same way as the other batch files, and if I do it manually: "dex2jar.bat classes.dex" then it also works..
So I though maybe the working directory needs to be set.
edit:
Code:
Error occurred during initialization of VM
Could not reserve enough space for object heap
Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine.
Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit
Press any key to continue . . .
so that's the problem . Will lower the heap ^^
Open the /tools/dex2jar.bat file and paste this contents into it:
Code:
@echo off
cd /d %~dp0

It's becoming much more stable luckily
Alright bro, i've to yet try the 0.8 version (using the 0.6). Your solution worked. My source was decompiled to the java files. But i see there were some changes :-
1) I saw that the 'this' keyword was used before almost every variable even if i hadn't included it (but that's not much of a problem, though).
2) I had used that tag R.id.editText1, R.id.radioButton1, etc. to use my views from the res folder. But in place of those, there were some numbers.. I really find it hard to work with them.

Hmm the random numbers as variables kinda sucks, I know, but that's just the way the program (jd-gui) works unfortunately, it makes things a lot harder to read but at least it's a working java source. Unfortunately jd-gui doesn't have any commandline tool with several switches. (I saw some other jar to java decompilers, but they gave a source code even more strange, so I think jd-gui is the best solution for now, of course I will update it if possible)
Looking forward to more updates for this great tool!

Thanks for letting me know. Ill take a look at it ^-^

Thanks, more people reported that problem, I think changing this: "$namearray[0]" to "$namearray" and "$tarsdkarray[0]" to "$tarsdkarray" will do the trick, but I'm not sure since it always works at my computer no matter if I put [0] or nothing.
Ill upload new version soon
Hi all,
i am kinda new here, so this might not be the best section to post such topic, so if there is more appropriate section would be good if moderators would move it there.
Now lets go to the problem:
I have downloades master revision of AOSP from git. Compiled all OS source in linux. After that compiled native/cmds/screenshot source with mmm command, just before compiling changed so that it would produce me shared library with .so extension instead of executable.
This way I got predefined shared library which I attached to hello-jni sample app from android-ndk-r10.
Everything compiled and built in eclipse without any errors, and I install that app on physical device (tried on samsung galaxy s2 with android 4.1.2 and samsung galaxy s5 with android version 4.4) Everything here is still ok, but if i try opening that app i am getting such error:
Code:
08-08 15:32:33.832: E/AndroidRuntime(12001): Caused by: java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: Cannot load library: reloc_library[1306]: 1694 cannot locate '__strrchr_chk'...
and this happens when i try loading that screenshot library with such code:
Code:
static {
System.loadLibrary("screenshot");
}
If anyone has had similar problems or have any ideas what might be wrong, I am happy to hear it.
