How to dynamically get the current compiler target file name in Android.mk's LOCAL_CFLAGS?

[Luca Egitto]

I am currently trying to build a native module using Android's NDK. My project consists of several source files (e.g.: FILENAME.c) and for each of them I need to declare a define in their CFLAGS (-DOPERATION_FILENAME).

In order to do that I need to dynamically fetch the name of the current target file of the Android NDK's cross-compiler and use it to for the define value.

I could not find any information about how to do this and the Makefile way (CFLAGS += -DOPERATION_echo $* | sed 's/_$$//') does not apply/work here.

My current Android.mk looks like this:

LOCAL_PATH:=$(call my-dir)

include $(CLEAR_VARS)

LOCAL_ARM_MODE := arm

LOCAL_MODULE := libmpn

LOCAL_SRC_FILES := \
<cut>

LOCAL_CFLAGS := \
-std=gnu99 \
-DHAVE_CONFIG_H \
-D__GMP_WITHIN_GMP \
-O2 \
-pedantic \
-fomit-frame-pointer \
-mfloat-abi=softfp \
-DOPERATION_`echo $* | sed 's/_$$//'`

include $(BUILD_SHARED_LIBRARY)

Does anyone know of a working way to get the file name of the current cross-compiler target in Android.mk? Thanks!

My other option is to execute in the LOCAL_CFLAGS field some sort of script that prints the current target of the compiler (e.g.: build a list of source files and consume the first line at every iteration) but I would gladly avoid doing that as it does not seem the proper solution here.

Somewhere in the beginning of your Android.mk (or even in Application.mk), the line:

get-src-file-target-cflags = $(LOCAL_SRC_FILES_TARGET_CFLAGS.$1) -DOPERATION_$(basename $1)

Enjoy,
