Rockbox Development > New Ports
Rockbox as an Application (Android, WebOS etc.)
bluebrother:
Why do you want to do this?
tonyg362:
I am trying to run rockbox in the gem5 full-system simulator. It crashes when trying to load rockbox.so. With gem5 applications are typically compiled statically.
So, can it be compiled statically for Android?

If you're asking if rockbox.so can be made not to depend on any other shared libraries, I'd say maybe, you'll have to experiment.
If you're asking if rockbox can be made not to have a separate rockbox.so, then no. That's how native code works on android.

gem5 is, er, not an Android emulator, so it's not going to work. To run an Android app in a simulator you need to be running a full Android rom in the simulator first, at which point any normal android apk will just install :)
tonyg362:
Correct, gem5 is not an Android emulator. It is a full-system architectural simulator that models the ARM architecture with enough detail to boot unmodified Android. I have booted android on gem5.
Besides the reason for wanting to compile statically is irrelevant. Can anybody tell me how to do it?
