jzmq libraries for Android

This package is intended to easily cross-compile the jzmq shared object and java sources for use within Android.

You will end up with the genrated Java source files for jzmq and a shared library object, namely libjzmq.so whil will self-contain jzmq wrapper, zeromq library and libtool dependency.

Hence, you can use it directly inside your APK for loading.

Building steps

• Download the NDK from Google.
• In the uncompressed folder, execute

sh build/tools/make-standalone-toolchain.sh

• It builds a toolchain that you will have to uncompress somewhere

cd /opt

tar vjxf arm-linux-androideabi-4.4.3.tar.bz2

• You now have the path /opt/arm-linux-androideabi-4.4.3 as toolchain path.
