Bash scripts for cross compiling PCL ( https://github.com/PointCloudLibrary/pcl ) and its dependencies for Android. Scripts were tested for

• Fedora 23, 24
• Ubuntu 16.04
• Android NDK 10e, 11c, 12b

Install Requirements

$ sudo apt-get install git make cmake

Fedora

$ sudo dnf install git make cmake

Cross-compilation

$ git clone https://github.com/bashbug/pcl-for-android.git
$ export ANDROID_NDK=PATH_TO_YOUR_LOCAL_ANDROID_NDK_FOLDER
$ ./download-setup.sh
$ ./pcl-build-for-android.sh

The compilations within the pcl-build-for-android.sh needs at least 4GB RAM + 4 GB Swap or 8GB RAM.

Default uses for make -j the number of CPUs.

The number of CPUs and thereby the memory usage can be reduced by setting the option as follows.

$ jobs=NUM_OF_CPUS ./pcl-build-for-android.sh

download-setup.sh

This script downloads the dependencies:

• EIGEN 3.2.9
• FLANN 1.8.4
• BOOST 1.61.0
• PCL 1.8
