I'm trying to compile libnice (v0.18 to be specific) for Android, but have run into some troubles. How can I compile libnice for Android? I have listed my attempts so far below.
1st Attempt
My first try was using a custom Android.mk makefile but I got an error stating AI_NUMERICHOST undeclared (adding #include <netdb.h> did not resolve this and I'm out of ideas here). See my Android.mk below

include $(BUILD_SHARED_LIBRARY)
The static libraries are copied over from the gstreamer 1.4.1 debug version and are selected in accordance with the guide mentioned below.
2nd Attempt
I then tried to compile a static library referring to this guide, which is again causing trouble:
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=`pwd`/../gstreamer/lib/pkgconfig
export CFLAGS="--sysroot=`pwd`/../toolchain/sysroot"
./configure --prefix=`pwd`/../build --host=arm-linux-androideabi
This results in the error below. Adding -mthumb or -marm to CFLAGS yields a C compiler cannot create executables error during configure.
stunagent.c: Assembler messages:
stunagent.c:160: Error: no such instruction: `rev %eax,%eax'
stunagent.c:676: Error: no such instruction: `rev16 %ax,%ax'
The mentioned lines do not contain ASM but calls to htons and ntohl, so I guess I did something wrong...
I used make_standalone_toolchain from the NDK using various Android versions to create the toolchain.
Can anybody help? Thanks in advance!
~
FINALLY! This took me way too long. The problem was that libnice creates a config.h file during configure which defines some macros (HAVE_NETDB_H among others). Although I was not able to compile libnice with my toolchain I was able to generate a valid config.h which I could use. After this I had to make some additional adjustments to my Android.mk. I'll post both files below for others in search of answers.
(Note: you still need glib. As my project uses gstreamer I was able to use the shared library created by the gstreamer build script which contains glib.)
Cheers!
