So I have decided to crosscompile Tcpdump for Android 2.2.This guy has done it, but I figured as well as I should try.I also used the openmoko toolchain after failing miserably with the Android one.So the summary of all the steps: Get the latest source for libpcap and tcpdump from
http://www.tcpdump.orgCompile libpcap $ tar zxvf libpcap.tar.gz
$ cd libpcap/
$ CC=arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi-gcc ac_cv_linux_vers=2 ./configure --host=arm-linux --with-pcap=linux
$ make
Compile tcpdump $ tar zxvf tcpdump-xx.tar.gz
$ cd tcpdump-xx/
$ CC=arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi-gcc ac_cv_linux_vers=2 ./configure --host=arm-linux --with-pcap=linux
Edit the makefile, remove the -O2 flag and add the -static flag to the linker (LD_FLAGS += -static)$ make
If you get the following error:
undefined reference to `__isoc99_sscanf'add #define _GNU_SOURCE in the faulty .c files.
