[lttng-dev] LTTng on Android

[Charles Brière]

Hi Jan,

Even when disabling ust while configuring, there is still some "shm_open"
(need to be replaced by ashmem) and "pthread_cancel" calls within the tools
code. But I don't understand what you mean by using static linking. How
would that help in the case where you are missing headers?

Cheers,
Charles
