androidenv 0.9

Description:

androidenv 0.9

Build native packages for Android.
Requirements

Python;
Android SDK;

The Android SDK can be installed from Android Studio.
Then set the environment variable ANDROID_SDK_ROOT or ANDROID_HOME.
Finally, Python's distutils package must be patched for cross-compiling.
The patch is in the patches directory. Apply it like so:
DESTLIB=$(python -c "import sysconfig; \
print(sysconfig.get_config_var('DESTLIB'))")
patch -p2 -d $DESTLIB < patches/patch-Python-3.10.0.txt

This patch should apply to any version of Python.
You may need to use sudo.
Install androidenv
Install from the Python Package Index:
pip install androidenv

You can also copy the file androidenv.py to where you need it,
it is self contained.
Usage
Build something from source:
cd thing
python -m androidenv setup.py build
python -m androidenv setup.py install

You really want to do this in a virtual environment.
Use the --find-library option to find libraries like libandroid or liblog:
python -m androidenv --find-library android log

Environment variables
This module works entirely with environment variables.
Input environment variables:

ANDROID_SDK_ROOT or ANDROID_HOME (required);
ABI (optional; armeabi-v7a or arm64-v8a);
API (optional);
DEBUG (optional; 0 or 1);

What is being built must respect the following evironment variables:

AR
AS
CC
CFLAGS
CPP
CPPFLAGS
CXX
CXXFLAGS
LD
LDFLAGS
PATH
RANLIB
READELF
STRIP

Many packages do, many don't. Python itself (distutils) does not respect
RANLIB; CMake does not respect CPPFLAGS; and many more. Fixing that is
your homework.
setup.cfg
Some useful configuration options when building for Android:
[build]
build-base = build
build-temp = build/tmp
build-lib = build/lib
