CMake : FIND_PACKAGE(Threads) for Android cross-compilation

Issue

I'm using the Android NDK and Cmake to generate shared libraries of my project.

I'm porting an existing project from Ubuntu to Android, and right now I need to port some executables files. I compile successfully all the executable file sexecpt one which needs the Threads library.

In CMakeList.txt, there is FIND_PACKAGE(Threads) which finds the library while compiling for Ubuntu, but not for Android.

I followed this cmake and libpthread but with no success.

I think I should write the FindThread.cmake file but I'm pretty new to CMake and don't really know how to do it, especially as I don't know where is located the thread library for Android.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

Solution

You don't need to write your own FindThread.cmake. On a standard linux installation, it can be found within /usr/share/cmake-2.8/Modules/ .

Check where this Modules/ directory might be installed on your platform.
