NEW: Building libpng 1.6.28 using Android NDK r13 CMake based build system

I recently updated to NDK revision 13 and also found ndk samples are now cmake + ninja based. Today 3-4 hours were consumed while trying to compile libpng but finally done it after editing CMakeLists.txt of libpng.

I tried to build libpng using Androud Studio's Gradle plugin from IDE but that was more problematic as it too required CMakeLists.txt editing and kept throwing bad link to libpng.so error. I decided to use shell which is my 1st and last choice to work in most cases. Before putting the scripts/code lets setup our work directory and data and also look at how cmake based build system compiles libpng.


Before starting ensure below tools are installed and working correctly on your system.

  • Android NDK revision 12+ is installed. If you have Android SDK installed but NDK is at some other location then you can move NDK inside SDK and rename it to ndk-bundle Or create a sym-link "ndk-bundle" in SDK pointing to actual NDK. After this NDK will start showing in the Android Studio 2.2+ SDK manager.
  • Install cmake from SDK manager. It will get extracted in Android SDK directory.
  • A good command shell. I use Ubuntu-Studio Linux with bash shell(s). Windows users can use cmd.exe or bash shell through UnixUtils.


Build process:

  1. Dowload libpng 1.6.28 from here http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/blfs/conglomeration/libpng/libpng-1.6.28.tar.xz and extract to some location with shorter path without spaces. e.g. /home/username/projects/libpng in Linux or c:\work\libpng in windows. This is for convenience and avoid space related issues while compiling.
  2. Copy full path of android.toolchain.cmake present in NDK. Example /media/bindesh/WORK/SDK_IDE/android-ndk-r13b/build/cmake/android.toolchain.cmake. There is same named file present in ANDROID_SDK/cmake/ like this /media/bindesh/WORK/SDK_IDE/android-sdk-linux-windows/cmake/3.6.3155560/android.toolchain.cmake but we must use toolchain file present in NDK. If toolchain present in sdk/cmake is used incompatibility issues like "Invalid Android NDK revision (should be 12" can occur.
  3. Open libpng/CMakeLists.txt file in text editor and add include("/home/bindesh/bin/ndk/build/cmake/android.toolchain.cmake") line after project(libpng C). Change the NDK path to yours.

Copy below bash script to create a file build.sh in libpng folder. Change the cmake, ninja, toolchain, sdk, ndk paths in script and run to build libpng. Replace the toolchain path copied through above steps. I have not tested this on Windows but using UnixUtils's sh.exe it should work.


build script:
#!/bin/sh

# run this script after changing the paths of ndk, sdk, cmake, ninja etc to build libpng or other cmake based library.
# Don't forget to add below line in main CMakeLists.txt after project() line of code.
# include("PATH_TO_NDK/build/cmake/android.toolchain.cmake")

clear
reset

# clean previous files
rm CMakeCache.txt

It's so amazing to find these kind of things on the Internet. As a former blogger, I sometimes felt frustrated about writing on very specific topics that hardly anyone read about. But in the future a single person might read the post and then it might have a great impact in the life of that person, which in my opinion makes worth the effort of documenting everything and making it public. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

Thank you Daniel. Same is the situation here. Very few people read such posts no matter my page comes on the top page while searching for the topic. However i am also switching to other topics to write/share. Done with programming, software...
