Crypto++ on Android: library linkage issue

[Chirieac]

Hi,

I'm trying to build a Qt application for Android that makes use of Crypto++.
Following the instructions written here I managed to get a libcryptopp.a and a libcryptopp.so. I've used mingw32-make on Windows 10 to build.
I've added the library in the .pro file like

contains(ANDROID_TARGET_ARCH,armeabi-v7a) {
    ANDROID_EXTRA_LIBS = \
        $$PWD/../../../../cryptopp565/libcryptopp.so
}

contains(ANDROID_TARGET_ARCH,armeabi-v7a) {
    ANDROID_EXTRA_LIBS = \
        $$PWD/../../../../cryptopp565/libcryptopp.so
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

...but I get a lot of errors like

error: undefined reference to 'CryptoPP::RandomNumberGenerator::GenerateBlock(un signed char*, unsigned int)'

I'm assuming that's because the library is not properly linked. Any idea how to make it work?

Thanks!

I ended up using libsodium. It was easier to make it work and also it's a more high-level crypto library, so even better.

Making an online library about crypto on android is making it way easy to stay in touch with so often renewing cryptomarket. But still, there no such thing as enough information, especially when it comes to make money with it. You could take a look at ICOs with Ethereum-based tokens to get to know some fresh projects.
