Node.js Android lib

This repo lets you build libnode.so for Android (arm64).

You only need this if you want to build an Android app that runs a true native node via the Java Native Interface, and you know what you're doing.

If you just want to use node on your Android, get it on Termux. If you just want to run some JS, use WebView.

Instructions

1. Get an Android arm64 device. I use a Pixel.
2. Get Termux.
3. Get a shell into Termux.
4. git clone this repo
5. cd into this repo
6. Run:

./configure --shared
LDFLAGS="-llog" make -j2 # this will take like an hour
file ./out/Release/lib.target/libnode.so.59 # this is your output library; copy it somewhere

Mostly this repo has some light hacks that made the node build compatible with the Android native toolchain.
