Luca Boccassi ff47aeb791 Problem: no permission to relicense tweetnacl integration
Solution: remove implementation. Frank Hartmann <soundart@gmx.net>,
the author, rejected our request to relicense under MPL2, so we
have to remove his copyrighted work.
Tweetnacl is not security-supported and could not be used in
production environments anyway, the supported backend is libsodium.

# Android Build
## Preamble
The last known NDK is automatically downloaded, if not specified otherwise.
As indicated in the main [README](../../README.md#supported-platforms-with-primary-CI), Android support is still DRAFT.
## Configuration
### Basics
Basically, LIBZMQ build for Android, relies on exported variables.
Provided build scripts can mainly be used like
export XXX=xxx
export YYY=yyy
...
cd <libzmq>/builds/android
./<build_script>
### Android NDK
LIBZMQ is tested against Android NDK versions r19 to r25.
By default, LIBZMQ uses NDK `android-ndk-r25`, but you can specify
a different one:
export NDK_VERSION=android-ndk-r23c
If you already have installed your favorite NDK somewhere, all you have to
do is to export and set NDK_VERSION and ANDROID_NDK_ROOT environment
variables, e.g:
export NDK_VERSION="android-ndk-r23b"
export ANDROID_NDK_ROOT=$HOME/${NDK_VERSION}
**Important:** ANDROID_NDK_ROOT must be an absolute path !
If you specify only NDK_VERSION, ANDROID_NDK_ROOT will be automatically set
to its default:
export ANDROID_NDK_ROOT=/tmp/${NDK_VERSION}
To specify the minimum SDK version set the environment variable below:
export MIN_SDK_VERSION=21 # Default value if unset
To specify the build directory set the environment variable below:
export ANDROID_BUILD_DIR=${HOME}/android_build
**Important:** ANDROID_BUILD_ROOT must be an absolute path !
### Android build folder
All Android libraries will be generated under:
${ANDROID_BUILD_DIR}/prefix/<arch>/lib
where <arch> is one of `arm`, `arm64`, `x86` or `x86_64`.
### Android build cleanup
Build and Dependency storage folders are automatically cleaned,
by ci_build.sh. This can be avoided with the help of
ANDROID_BUILD_DIR="no"
If you turn this to "no", make sure to clean what has to be, before
calling `build.sh` or `ci_build.sh`.
### Prebuilt Android libraries
Android prebuilt libraries have to be stored under
ANDROID_BUILD_DIR/prefix/<arch>/lib
Do not forget to disable [Android cleanup](#android-build-cleanup).
### Dependencies
By default, `build.sh` download dependencies under `/tmp/tmp-deps`.
You can specify another folder with the help of ANDROID_DEPENDENCIES_DIR:
ANDROID_DEPENDENCIES_DIR=${HOME}/my_dependencies
If you place your own dependency source trees there,
do not forget to disable [Android cleanup](#android-build-cleanup).
### Cryptographic configuration
The variable CURVE accepts 2 different values:
"" : LIBZMQ is built without any encryption support.
"libsodium" : LIBZMQ is built with LIBSODIUM encryption support (see below).
### Other configuration variables
You can also check configuration variables in `build.sh` itself, in its
"Configuration & tuning options" comment block.
## LIBSODIUM
LIBSODIUM is built along with LIBZMQ, when CURVE="libsodium".
- If you have your own clone of LIBSODIUM, set LIBSODIUM_ROOT to point to
its folder.
- If the variable LIBSODIUM_ROOT is not set, LIBZMQ will look for a folder
'libsodium' close to his own one.
- If no folder 'libsodium' exists, then LIBZMQ will clone LIBSODIUM from its
official STABLE branch.
## Build
See chapter [Configuration](#configuration) for configuration options and
other details.
Select your preferred parameters:
export XXX=xxx
export YYY=yyy
...
and run:
cd <libzmq>/builds/android
./build.sh [ arm | arm64 | x86 | x86_64 ]
Parameter selection and the calls to build.sh can be located in a
SHELL script, like in ci_build.sh.
## CI build
Basically, it will call `build.sh` once, for each Android target.
This script accepts the same configuration variables, but some are set
with different default values. For instance, the dependencies are not
downloaded or cloned in `/tmp/tmp-deps, but inside LIBZMQ clone.
It can be used in the same way as build.sh
export XXX=xxx
export YYY=yyy
cd <libzmq>/builds/android
./ci_build.sh
## Dockerfile
An example of Docker file is provided, for Ubuntu 22.04
Minimal changes are required to support Debian 9 to 11.
Minimal changes are required to support CentOS (7 only), Rocky Linux (8 & 9),
and many Fedora (22 to 37).
