PocketSphinx compiling for android on Windows

Question

I have to build and run the PocketSphinx sample for android

My system for android development in Windows 7 + Eclipse

I have installed NDK and Cygwin My Cygwin does not have gcc or g++ with it right now. Do you I need these compilers in cygwin ?

I have already put these modules - bison - make - automake - libiconv - libtool - python interpreter

on it.

I am confused whether I need to perform following steps for sphinxbase and pocketsphinx ? as suggested http://cmusphinx.sourceforge.net/2011/05/building-pocketsphinx-on-android/comment-page-2/#comments

./autogen.sh ./configure make make install

and if I so would I need gcc or g++ on cygwin ?

Please advise,

thanks, Ahmed

You do not need NDK anymore, you can compile just the raw source. For more information see the official CMUSphinx tutorial

Thanks,I understand I defintiely need swig to create java wrappers arround native code for the available sample of pocketsphinx android proj. However I was able to build the project without having gcc or g++ on cygwin, I beleive NDK itself has it own cross compiler to compile for android architecture and it does not need gcc or g++ as a cygwin module to compile in this particular case.. – Ahmed Jun 26 '12 at 21:20
That's true, NDK has it's own gcc. You don't need to install another one. If your question is about that. – Nikolay Shmyrev Jun 27 '12 at 09:36

I use gcc, have worked on several NDK projects using this.

SO are you saying gcc on cygwin will compile native code for android ?? Is that not the job of NDK's compiler ?? – Ahmed Jun 23 '12 at 15:47
No... i am not saying that i am saying its best compiler for c – Programmer Jun 23 '12 at 15:49
Thanks but that does not answer my question, it rather confused me – Ahmed Jun 23 '12 at 17:15
