I'm porting a C and C++ library that currently works on iOS to be used on an Android application. I'm down to these last 3 linker errors (obfuscated for privacy reasons):
/Users/fer662/projects/xxx/jni/xxx_preprocessing.c:10184: error: undefined reference to 'cexp' /Users/fer662/projects/xxx/jni/xxx_preprocessing.c:10184: error: undefined reference to 'cpowf' /Users/fer662/projects/xxx/jni/xxx_preprocessing.c:10285: error: undefined reference to 'cabs'
Now I understand these normally come from linking with libm.so (-lm), but i'm doing that already. If I go and check the offending so with nm:
nm -g /Users/fer662/Library/Android/sdk/ndk-bundle/platforms/android-22/arch-x86/usr/lib/libm.so | grep cpow
Nothing comes back. It DOES hoever, if I use api 28
nm -g /Users/fer662/Library/Android/sdk/ndk-bundle/platforms/android-28/arch-x86/usr/lib/libm.so | grep cpow
00003900 T cpow
00003910 T cpowf
00003920 T cpowl
Also, in the static library it does show, even on api 22:
nm -g /Users/fer662/Library/Android/sdk/ndk-bundle/platforms/android-22/arch-x86/usr/lib/libm.a | grep cpow
s_cpow.o:
00000000 T cpow
s_cpowf.o:
00000000 T cpowf
s_cpowl.o:
00000000 T cpowl
The inconsistency is puzzling. Shouldn't it be missing from the header altogether if not supported? Why does the static lib have it and the dylib not?
Would it make sense to statically link against it? And if so, how would I do it, taking into account the right path for the current api version?
My other option seems to go steal an implementation of libm (say http://openlibm.org/) or just these 3 functions I'm using from it.
