Android NDK: compile HDF5 library with source code

Question

Now I have a 3rd party library (HDF5)in source code. But this library is written in C++. Is it possible to use android NDK to compile it? How? Do I need to write own makefile to configure it OR use android.mk to configure?
And I found this library has some dependencies, Do I need to compile each one of them?

I'm also working on the same thing, let me know if you've found a way please — Mehmet K, Nov 29 '16 at 08:16

Usually, it is easier to use the standard .lconfigure && make for external native libraries, but you need to prepare a standalone toolchain, as described here.

Thank you, @CameronLowellPalmer. I updated the link, now *finally* Google has NDK documents on the official Android developers site, I hope it will be maintained better. – Alex Cohn Oct 14 '16 at 14:33

A short answer to your question is, yes, it can be build with NDK and autotools.

I am quite confuse steps after 5. All I need is a compiled library either in shared or static type. How do I get these? – Saddy Feb 20 '14 at 00:15

This is a dead link - does this information exist anywhere? – troy.unrau Dec 22 '15 at 22:10
@troy.unrau I second that, I would very much like to know as well – LBes Feb 10 '16 at 21:16
