Missing file armeabi-v7a/lib/libboost_signals.a on branch boost-1_72_0

[rohitdwivedula]

It looks like one compiled file, libboost_signals.a is missing for boost v1.72.0. Not sure if I'm doing anything wrong, but just thought I'd leave a heads up here incase anyone else tries to use that version (and needs libboost_signals).

This is what my root Android.mk looks like:

MY_PATH := $(call my-dir)
include $(MY_PATH)/boost-1_72_0/Android.mk

LOCAL_PATH := $(JNI_PATH)

include $(CLEAR_VARS)
LOCAL_MODULE := <my module name here>
LOCAL_SRC_FILES := <list of files>
LOCAL_LDLIBS += -llog
LOCAL_CPPFLAGS += -std=c++11

LOCAL_SHARED_LIBRARIES := boost
include $(BUILD_SHARED_LIBRARY)

I tried LOCAL_SHARED_LIBRARIES=boost and LOCAL_SHARED_LIBRARIES=boost* with Android NDK 21, and both versions of the Android.mk led to an error that looked like this:

Android NDK: ERROR:/path/to/my/app/jni/boost-1_72_0/Android.mk:boost_signals: LOCAL_SRC_FILES points to a missing file    
Android NDK: Check that /path/to/my/app/jni/boost-1_72_0/armeabi-v7a/lib/libboost_signals.a exists  or that its path is correct   

Looking at that directory in this repo, it does indeed appear that libboost_signals.a does not exist.

You can remove that module defenition because it has no library and based on headers.
