Building libbladeRF for Android
This page serves as a place to document notes and developments in building libbladeRF for Android, which has spun off from discussions in issue #386. It is expected that notes documented here will yield fine-grained tasks and patches that may be submitted to the issue tracker.
The preferred approach for libbladeRF support on Android is via the Android NDK. We would rathermaintain a single codebase that is portable, rather than introduce a Java reimplementation.
Below is a list of some reference CMake toolchain setups and build scripts
pthread_cancel() does not exist in Android. This is used in the libbladeRF code base as a "last ditch effort" if an attempt to join a thread times out. We will need to be able to remove this at compile time. One approach will be to add a BLADERF_OS_ANDROID definition and add the following to thread.h:
#ifdef BLADERF_OS_ANDROID
# define THREAD_CANCEL(thread) do {} while (0)
#else
# define THREAD_CANCEL(thread) pthread_cancel(thread)
#endif
