[Opalvoip-devel] How to build Opal 3.18 and Ptlib 2.18 for Android

[Weiran Xu <WX...@mi...>]

Hi everyone,

I want to use opal on Android but cannot get it build with the instructions in  "/samples/Android/ReadMe.txt".
Could anyone help me with this? I have the following problems so far:


  1.  Is the "Building OPAL for Android is currently only supported in a Windows environment" still the same?
  2.  The ReadMe file  is relatively old. It suggests to use VS2010 with vs-android plugin, but the solution file in Android sample of Opal 3.18 source code looks like for VS2015. Moreover the vs-android plugin has been stopped for development since VS2013.
  3.  I tried to open the solution file of Android sample with VS2010 and  vs-android plugin, it requires NDK toolchains 4.8, the latest NDK has it is NDK r10.
  4.  After resolve the above issue, I tried to build but got a lot of file name mismatch and file cannot be found issue. I'm not sure if the reason is the source code structure change or my system (Windows 10, VS2010 with vs-android plugin).

I believe Opal is really a great project, but it feels like the project is poor on support recent years.
Thanks in advance.
