1page.title=Building Your Project 2@jd:body 3 4<p>One of the NDK's core purposes is allowing you to build C and C++ source code into shared 5libraries that you can use in your app.</p> 6 7<p>This section explains how to build native binaries for use in your Android app. It begins by 8explaining the 9<a href="{@docRoot}ndk/guides/android_mk.html">{@code Android.mk}</a> file, which 10defines properties specific to individual <i>modules</i>, or libraries. Then, it explains the 11<a href="{@docRoot}ndk/guides/application_mk.html">{@code Application.mk}</a> file, which defines 12properties for all the modules that you use in your 13app. Next, it tells you how to use the <a href="{@docRoot}ndk/guides/ndk-build.html"> 14{@code ndk-build}</a> script, which is what the NDK uses to build your sources. Last, it ventures 15into advanced territory, discussing how to incorporate the NDK into your own 16<a href="{@docRoot}ndk/guides/standalone_toolchain.html">toolchain</a>, if you prefer to 17build that way instead of using 18<a href="{@docRoot}ndk/guides/ndk-build.html">{@code ndk-build}</a>.</p>
