Re: [android-developers] Call to System.loadLibrary() causes process to die

Why are you building the SDL stuff as shared libraries instead of just statically linking them into your main .so?

've decided to take on porting a game, that uses SDL libraries and

successful in getting all the required libraries compiled as well as
all the source files for the game. My problem is that when I call
System.loadLibrary() to load the .so for the game, the app immediately
crashes with "Process org.libsdl.app (pid 3569) has died."

Here is the section of code where I load all the needed libraries and
the game as a shared library.

   static {
      // Load the required libraries for the game
      System.loadLibrary("SDL");
      System.loadLibrary("SDL_image");
      System.loadLibrary("SDL_mixer");
      System.loadLibrary("SDL_net");
      // load the game as a shared library
      System.loadLibrary("smw_jni"); // << process dies when this is
called
   }
libswm_jni.so was compiled with the Android NDK and in the
Applicaion.mk file I specified

APP_STL := gnustl_static
Since it crashes immediately after System.loadLibrary("smw_jni") with
no meaningful error messages, I am at a loss as to how to go about
getting to the root cause.

I've worked on porting another game which was just plain old C code,
which worked out, so I am not sure if there is an issue with the fact
that this particular game is heavy on the C++ side.

Thanks in advance for any help with this headache of mine!
