Cross-compiles zlib library for Android

This script cross-compiles zlib library for Android (armeabi-v7a, arm64-v8a, x86, x86-64) using Android NDK and autoconf, as shown in Use the NDK with other build systems.

This script has been tested on Debian GNU/Linux 10 (buster) x86_64 with Android NDK r22b (22.1.7171670).

This script download zlib source code from zlib official website (https://www.zlib.net/)

Dependencies:

• Android NDK r22+
• curl
• make

Android Arch Supported:

• arm (armeabi-v7a)
• arm64 (arm64-v8a)
• x86
• x86-64

Usage examples:

Build zlib-1.2.11 static and shared libs, for android-21, all supported architectures

build_zlib

Build zlib-1.1.10 static and shared libs, for android-21, armeabi-v7a

build_zlib --ndk-dir /path/to/android-ndk --android-abi arm --zlib-version 1.1.10

Build zlib-1.2.11 static libs, for android-24, arm64-v8a

build_zlib --android-abi arm64 --android-api-level 24 --static

If the script is invoked with no arguments, by default zlib-1.2.11 static and shared libraries are compiled for android-21 (armeabi-v7a, arm64-v8a, x86, x86-64) using the Android NDK path provided by ANDROID_NDK environment variable.

TODO:

• Improve message logging, log all events (err, std) in build.log file.
• Implement clean callback on error.
