Looking for help on android

[yaronyg]

I'm building node.js for android (http://www.goland.org/nodejsonandroid/) but now I need to use NPM with node-gyp but I want to cross-compile for Android. Looking around the node-gyp code base the make files seem to want to support this. But I haven't even managed yet to figure out how to force '-f android' during Configure. I actually did this manually on the command line and it caused an 'undefined variable os_include' error down in snappy. Rather than trying to reverse engineer node-gyp's support of Android is there a 'hello world' anywhere that shows how to use node-gyp to compile on Linux a package that is targeted at Android? What parameters to pass in? What environment variables are needed? Etc.

Thanks!

Near as I can tell there is literally no way to pass "-f android" in via a call to node-gyp. Only single words can be passed through. Anything else (like "-f android") will be marked as a command line argument by nopt and will therefore be turned into a python environment variable and so won't be used in the eventual call to Configure.

So how is someone supposed to call node-gyp but specify that Android bindings are to be used?

Anyone?

O.k. so I did finally figure out that the android.py file comes from gyp and not node-gyp which is probably why nobody around here has been very helpful in understanding it. Sigh.

@yaronyg Can you please close this issue if this is not an issue any more?

I left this work behind a long time ago.
