Cross compiling OSCAM

For general information on how to build OSCAM, see BuildingOscam page. This page contains information about cross compilation.

Toolchains / Cross compilers

A toolchain contains compiler, libraries (libc, openssl, others..) and headers needed for compilation of programs for a system different than the one you are building on, the so called target system. Target system is the architecture/CPU for which the cross compiler can build binaries. For example SH4 cross compiler can build binaries for SH4 architecture. Building a toolchain is not an easy process and is outside of the scope of this page.

If you are using toolchain/cross compiler to build OSCAM that is not linked here, please share it with us in our forum.

forum: ​https://board.streamboard.tv/ Note: Registration Needed

The pre-built toolchains listed here can be run on any 32-bit Linux distro or on 64-bit Linux with with 32-bit compat libraries. These toolchains are provided with ready made instructions how to download, install and use them to compile your own OSCAM. Basically (minus the details), the procedure is:

  • Download and install toolchain.
  • Download or checkout OSCAM source code from SVN, see GettingOscam page for details.
  • Cross compile OSCAM by using 
    make CROSS=/my-toolchain/bin/arch-platform-

For more cross compilation examples see the end of ​https://trac.streamboard.tv/oscam/browser/trunk/README.build

Available Cross Compilers

Android

Building OSCam for Android is quite easy. Just follow these instructions: Before Beginning some steps say {releasenumber} change it for your NDK release Ex:. 16b,14b,13b,...

OSCam can be compiled on Android since commit r8339.

Download Android NDK (Native Development Kit)

  1. Download Android NDK from ​https://developer.android.com/ndk/downloads/ or use this command below to download the latest NDK, please read the Note marked below before anything or use tested NDK r13b or r14b. 
cd /
wget https://dl.google.com/android/repository/android-ndk-r16b-linux-x86_64.zip

Note: Tested in r13b and r14b so if something go wrong at one step because you are using above r14b, download one of this version below and clean all folders created and repeat the steps below, the reason why versions above r14b don't work check 'Very important note...' below.

NDK 14b 

cd / 
wget https://dl.google.com/android/repository/android-ndk-r14b-linux-x86_64.zip

NDK 13b 

cd /
wget https://dl.google.com/android/repository/android-ndk-r13b-linux-x86_64.zip

Very Important Note for NDK above 14b and 14b included :

All versions above NDK 14b use Clang to Compile out of the box (Standalone Toolchain) since you need to import the openssl you need to deploy the android ndk toolchain using clang. Issue reported in ​GithubAndroid-NDK and the issue are been reported two times in Openssl Github one in ​Openssl github issue #3826 reported by deveee and the 2nd in ​Openssl Github issue #6879 reported by Screamfox, Google says they don't fix this issue since gcc is deprecated read here ​Google Changelog r14b i belive this can be solved with a workaround and if some one have found a workaround please notice us in our forum (Link on the top of page) or edit correctly this wiki page [Registration Required].

You can continue compiling OpenSSL with NDK r13b/r14b if you have any version below 14b you can continue this tutorial.

Install the Toolchain (NDK)

  1. Unzip the NDK. 
unzip android-ndk-r{releasenumber}-linux-x86_64.zip

Note: Install Unzip required, install it using: apt install unzip.

  1. Go to the NDK directory after decompressed(Unziped). 
cd /android-ndk-r{releasenumber}
  1. Inside the NDK directory go to the /android-ndk-r{releasenumber}/build/tools 
cd build/tools
  1. Inside the build/tools directory export toolchain, 
export TOOLCHAIN=/android-toolchain
  1. Still in the same directory (/android-ndk-r{releasenumber}/build/tools) and type this to install the toolchain, 
./make_standalone_toolchain.py --arch arm --api 21 --install-dir /android-toolchain

Note: change --api 21 if needed (This is depending the Android version your are compiling) so api 21 is for Android Version 5.0 see table below for more info. You can click any where here to jump to the table refereed before.

Download and Install OpenSSl

  1. Download OpenSSL 
cd /
wget http://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-1.0.1g.tar.gz

Note: not tested in latest version please test it in newest version and say in forum if it's working on latest version or edit the OpenSSL link above and edit tar -xf command and cd command below (Next steps "8,9") to the version you have tested to keep this tutorial up to date.

  1. Extract the tar.gz 
tar -xf openssl-1.0.1g.tar.gz
  1. Go to the directory you extracted. 
cd openssl-1.0.1g
  1. Export the gcc in the Android Toolchain. 
export CC=/android-toolchain/bin/arm-linux-androideabi-gcc
  1. Export the Ran Library to Android Toolchain. 
export RANLIB=/android-toolchain/bin/arm-linux-androideabi-ranlib
  1. type ./configure to before make and make instal_sw, this step is to set configuration before done and install the OpenSSL. 
./Configure --prefix=/android-toolchain/sysroot/usr android
make
make install_sw

Download the latest SVN and Cross Compile for Android Devices

  1. Download the latest SVN from Oscam/trunk repo. 
cd /
svn checkout https://svn.streamboard.tv/oscam/trunk oscam-svn
cd oscam-svn
./config.sh --enable WEBIF WITH_SSL IPV6SUPPORT

  1. Cross Compile OSCam with Android Toolchain 
make static EXTRA_FLAGS="-pie" LIB_RT= LIB_PTHREAD= CROSS=/android-toolchain/bin/arm-linux-androideabi-

Table about the Android Versions and API

Note: Change the parameter in step 6 if needed " --api 21 " to the version of your device look table below.
