android-gfortran Support for android-ndk-r8e, gcc v4.6?

I need OpenBlas and LaPack for an android device using android-ndk-r8e and gcc v4.6. The README only talks about r12b and gcc 4.9. Will this approach work for me?

Hi @nwotero,

It probably won't, the scripts used to build have been updated a lot. However, you can look at those links which described the process back then: Google group and Stack Overflow post.

Why do you need r8b? For most cases, you should compile with the latest NDK, which will work with older devices.

I inherited this project, and the past developer was using r8b. That is pretty much the only reason. If r12b will work the same, then I can test it out and see if it will work for my needs. Thanks!

No worries. I don't see a reason why it shouldn't work. If the project is on Github, I'd be happy to take a look and try the see if it works with r12b :)

Unfortunately its not the easiest setup to reproduce. The github project is this: https://github.com/ekumenlabs/roscpp_android

And I am adding support for this library: http://wiki.ros.org/teb_local_planner

Which depends on LaPack and BLAS. For which I need this toolchain.

I think this would be far too much work for a cursory look, but if you're feeling ambitious I certainly wouldn't stop you!

Thanks again for your help!
