用 NDK编译Graphite2

Graphite is a "smart font" system developed specifically to handle the complexities of lesser-known languages of the world.

上面这段话是从Graphite的官网(http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?site_id=projects&item_id=graphite_hom)上摘的对于这个Open Source library的功能的描述。它是一个相似于Harfbuzz的一个文本shape的引擎，只不过，它在shape的过程当中，会更加依赖于font文件中提供的信息。对于缅甸语的处理，Graphite引擎 + Padauk font 文件的组合方案，堪称完美。

这个library用到的API也大多在standard C++的范围以内，这就给用NDK编译这个library创造了很好的条件。

在NDK中使用STL的方法，能够看到Google官方文档(prebuilts/ndk/7/sources/cxx-stl/gnu-libstdc++/README)中的一段话：

This directory contains the headers and prebuilt binaries for the
GNU libstdc++-v3 C++ Standard Template Library implementation.

These are generated from the toolchain sources by the rebuild-all-prebuilt.sh
script under build/tools.

To use it, define APP_STL to 'gnustl_static' in your Application.mk.
See docs/CPLUSPLUS-SUPPORT.html for more details.

This implementation fully supports C++ exceptions and RTTI.

这段文字中提到的 Application.mk的含义是，须要在jni这个folder下原来的那个Android.mk文件的基础之上，添加另外的一个名为 Application.mk的文件。在咱们为了编译graphite2而添加的 Application.mk文件中，实际上能够只有一句话：

APP_STL := gnustl_static

编译这种module的另外的一个麻烦之处是，咱们没有办法一会儿看出来，到底须要往咱们的source file list中添加多少个source file。大概只能经过逐个的添加文件，直到在也不会爆出“Undefined reference to ...” 这种build error的信息为止了吧。以下的Android.mk 文件是通过反复的连接报错->添加source file这样一个过程，所获得的结果。

这个Android.mk文件中，另外一个值得咱们参考的是，在同一个mk文件中，定义对于两个library的编译的方法。我的认为，比较关键的地方在于，include $(CLEAR_VARS) 这一行。它的含义大致上是将前面定义的全部的变量都给清除掉。这样大概就能够让咱们很方便的将多个Android.mk文件给合并成为一个了。

执行ndk-build，输出大概就会像下面这样:
