scripts to generate openssl .so to be used from Qt Android Projects on MacOS

Building Qt mobile Apps for Android there's a problem if App should run on Android 7 , because Google removed openssl. You must build openssl .so libs by yourself

There's a documentation from Qt HowTo add openssl: http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/opensslsupport.html

Unfortunately this fails on MacOS with error unknown argument: '-mandroid'

see also QTBUG-59375 https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-59375

thx Marco Piccolino and Roman Pasechnik in this repo I found the needed scripts to generate the openssl libraries by myself. https://github.com/orangefour/android-openssl That repo itself is based on Android NDK openssl build script for original repository(https://www.openssl.org/) see details : http://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/Android

These scripts do all for you from downloading and extracting openssl and generating libs for x86 and armeabi-v7a

I'm not providing any prebuilt .so here as you may found in other repos at github, because this would be a security hole to embed .so you don't have built from origin sources.

I did small modifications to the scripts to run them on OSX Please check the environment values of setenv-android-mod.sh

Clone this repo to a location you can refer to from your Qt projects.

Open Terminal and do:

cd <path/to/this/repo>
chmod 755 ./build-all-arch.sh
chmod 755 ./setenv-android-mod.sh
export ANDROID_NDK_ROOT=/your/path/to/_android/android-ndk-r10e
export OPENSSL_VERSION="openssl-1.0.2k"
./build-all-arch.sh

insert this line into your .pro

include(android-openssl.pri)

copy this .pri into your projects (don't forget to adjust the path)

android {
  ANDROID_EXTRA_LIBS  = $$PWD/my/path/to/prebuilt/armeabi-v7a/libcrypto.so
  ANDROID_EXTRA_LIBS  = $$PWD/my/path/to/android-openssl/prebuilt/armeabi-v7a/libssl.so
}
