h1. Installing Wt on Android
Warning: Installation of Wt on Android is a bit more complex than it should be. The dependencies (NDK, boost) don't support this platform perfectly, and thus you must be prepared to patch these if you encounter problems. This page describes how I made my first Wt on Android build.
h2. Installing the cross tools
At the time of writing, Google's NDK C++ support is insufficient to compile boost or Wt. Use the crystax NDK, a fork of the official Google NDK, instead. Download the prebuilt tools for your platform and install them somewhere.
h2. Compiling boost
I used boost 1.44.0. Download and unpack it somewhere.
Run the bootstrap script to compile bjam.
Edit the boost_1_44_0/project-config.jam file to add some defaults. I made the following changes:
<pre>
# Python configuration
#using python : 2.6 : /usr ;
libraries = --with-date_time --with-filesystem --with-program_options --with-regex --with-signals --with-system --with-thread ;
# These settings are equivivalent to corresponding command-line
# options.
option.set prefix : /home/wim/project/android/boost ;
option.set exec-prefix : /home/wim/project/android/boost ;
option.set libdir : /home/wim/project/android/boost/lib ;
option.set includedir : /home/wim/project/android/boost/include ;
</pre>
In boost_1_44_0/tools/build/v2/user-config.jam, add the following lines (modify paths to your NDK installation directory as needed):
<pre>
using gcc : arm : /home/wim/project/android/android-ndk-r4-crystax/build/prebuilt/linux-x86/arm-eabi-4.4.0/bin/arm-eabi-c++ :

You'll need to patch boost. This is a diff of my patched boost against an original one:

Disclaimer: I'm not a specialist in writing platform files, I was looking for something that works. With this platform file, you can build both executables and shared objects (and .a files of course).
h2. Build Wt
Adjust paths as necessary. The CMAKE_MODULE_PATH is the directory where you put your Android platform file.
<pre>
mkdir wt-build
cd wt-build
cmake -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=~/toolchain-android.cmake -DBOOST_PREFIX=~/project/android/boost/ -DBOOST_VERSION=1_44 -DBOOST_COMPILER=gcc -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DCMAKE_MODULE_PATH=/home/wim/project/android/cmake -DSHARED_LIBS=OFF ~/project/android/wt
</pre>
Android doesn't have libdl, so omit it while compiling the sqlite3 backend:
<pre>

index f268223..a915db2 100644

</pre>
Now compile Wt:
<pre>
make -j 8
cd examples
make -j 8 -k
</pre>
Examples that use crypt will fail to build.
h2. Deploying and running Wt
Log in on your android device and make a temporary directory:
<pre>
$ adb shell
# mkdir /data/tmp
# cd /data/tmp
</pre>
Copy your executable (and all dependency files, such as the resources directory, if necessary) to the temporary directory:
<pre>
$ adb shell push hello.wt /data/tmp/hello.wt
</pre>
Run the executable:
<pre>
$ adb shell
# cd /data/tmp
# chmod 755 hello.wt
# ./hello.wt --docroot=. --http-address=0.0.0.0 --http-port=8080
</pre>
Set up port forwarding so that you can surf to your emulator:
<pre>
$ telnet localhost 5554
Android Console: type 'help' for a list of commands
OK
redir add tcp:8080:8080
</pre>
Point your browser to http://localhost:8080/ and enjoy your Wt application!
