shared library text segment is not shareable

Question

I am trying to add HW video acceleration to a cm10.2 port for my device. I get no errors but the one below, then make stops working, apparently without any erro

Answer 1

Workaround for Android NDK r11:

LOCAL_LDLIBS += -Wl,--no-warn-shared-textrel

LOCAL_LDLIBS is applied later in the option chain than LOCAL_LDFLAGS, and consequently overrides the default.

Answer 2

For asop project(eg: aosp/external/myproject/)

add this line to your android.mk

LOCAL_CPPFLAGS += -w -frtti

Answer 3

Update:

from Android NDK r11 you can use

LOCAL_LDLIBS += -Wl,--no-warn-shared-textrel

You can also use

LOCAL_DISABLE_FATAL_LINKER_WARNINGS := true

Previous answer:

This is a recent change in toolchain which treats this warning as an error.

One workaround is to add --no-warn-shared-textrel to LOCAL_LDFLAGS to disable treating warning as an error. You can do that in your Android.mk like

LOCAL_LDFLAGS := --no-warn-shared-textrel
