Beside basic tools like perl and make you'll need to download the Android
- NDK. It's available for Linux, Mac OS X and Windows, but only Linux
- version was actually tested. There is no reason to believe that Mac OS X
+ NDK. It's available for Linux, macOS and Windows, but only Linux
+ version was actually tested. There is no reason to believe that macOS
wouldn't work. And as for Windows, it's unclear which "shell" would be
suitable, MSYS2 might have best chances. NDK version should play lesser
role, the goal is to support a range of most recent versions.
Configuration

+ Android is a naturally cross-compiled target and you can't use ./config.
You have to use ./Configure and name your target explicitly; there are
android-arm, android-arm64, android-mips, android-mip64, android-x86
- and android-x86_64. Do not pass --cross-compile-prefix (as you might
- be tempted), as it will be "calculated" automatically based on chosen
- platform. Though you still need to know the prefix to extend your PATH,
- in order to invoke $(CROSS_COMPILE)gcc and company. (Configure will fail
- and give you a hint if you get it wrong.) Apart from PATH adjustment
- you need to set ANDROID_NDK environment to point at NDK directory
- as /some/where/android-ndk-<ver>. Both variables are significant at both
- configuration and compilation times. NDK customarily supports multiple
- Android API levels, e.g. android-14, android-21, etc. By default latest
- one available is chosen. If you need to target older platform, pass
- additional -D__ANDROID_API__=N to Configure. N is numeric value of the
- target platform version. For example, to compile for ICS on ARM with
- NDK 10d:
-
- export ANDROID_NDK=/some/where/android-ndk-10d
- PATH=$ANDROID_NDK/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.8/prebuilt/linux-x86_64/bin:$PATH
+ and android-x86_64 (*MIPS targets are no longer supported with NDK R20+).
+ Do not pass --cross-compile-prefix (as you might be tempted), as it will
+ be "calculated" automatically based on chosen platform. Though you still
+ need to know the prefix to extend your PATH, in order to invoke
+ $(CROSS_COMPILE)clang [*gcc on NDK 19 and lower] and company. (Configure
+ will fail and give you a hint if you get it wrong.) Apart from PATH
+ adjustment you need to set ANDROID_NDK_HOME environment to point at the
+ NDK directory. If you're using a side-by-side NDK the path will look
+ something like /some/where/android-sdk/ndk/<ver>, and for a standalone
+ NDK the path will be something like /some/where/android-ndk-<ver>.
+ Both variables are significant at both configuration and compilation times.
+ The NDK customarily supports multiple Android API levels, e.g. android-14,
+ android-21, etc. By default latest API level is chosen. If you need to
+ target an older platform pass the argument -D__ANDROID_API__=N to Configure,
+ with N being the numerical value of the target platform version. For example,
+ to compile for Android 10 arm64 with a side-by-side NDK r20.0.5594570
+
+ export ANDROID_NDK_HOME=/home/whoever/Android/android-sdk/ndk/20.0.5594570
+ PATH=$ANDROID_NDK_HOME/toolchains/llvm/prebuilt/linux-x86_64/bin:$ANDROID_NDK_HOME/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.9/prebuilt/linux-x86_64/bin:$PATH
+ ./Configure android-arm64 -D__ANDROID_API__=29
+ make
+
+ Older versions of the NDK have GCC under their common prebuilt tools directory, so the bin path
+ will be slightly different. EG: to compile for ICS on ARM with NDK 10d:
+
+ export ANDROID_NDK_HOME=/some/where/android-ndk-10d
+ PATH=$ANDROID_NDK_HOME/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.8/prebuilt/linux-x86_64/bin:$PATH
./Configure android-arm -D__ANDROID_API__=14
make
Caveat lector! Earlier OpenSSL versions relied on additional CROSS_SYSROOT
- variable set to $ANDROID_NDK/platforms/android-<api>/arch-<arch> to
+ variable set to $ANDROID_NDK
_HOME/platforms/android-<api>/arch-<arch> to
appoint headers-n-libraries' location. It's still recognized in order
to facilitate migration from older projects. However, since API level
appears in CROSS_SYSROOT value, passing -D__ANDROID_API__=N can be in
Another option is to create so called "standalone toolchain" tailored
for single specific platform including Android API level, and assign its
- location to ANDROID_NDK. In such case you have to pass matching target
- name to Configure and shouldn't use -D__ANDROID_API__=N. PATH adjusment
- becomes simpler, $ANDROID_NDK/bin:$PATH suffices.
