i wanted to compare the speed of the cpp and java version of ZXing.
So after fixing some general linux related bugs, it seems to work well as start:
(the following only works with SVN rev. 2218, could be slightly different for later revisions)
0. install the Android NDK
1. check out zxing:
1 2 | svn checkout http://zxing.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ zxing-read-only cd zxing-read-only |
2. fix linux bugs:
1 2 | wget http://thomasfischer.biz/wp-content/2012/03/linux-fixes.diff patch -p0 < linux-fixes.patch |
3. setup JNI:
1 2 3 | mkdir jni wget http://thomasfischer.biz/wp-content/2012/03/android-jni.diff patch -p0 < android-jni.diff |
4. build it:
1 2 3 | cd android export NDKHOME=/your/ndk/path/android-ndk-r7b/ ndk-build -j8 |
i contacted some author of the lib, maybe this will go upstream,
have fun
