See full Chinese explanation blog here: https://zhangtom.com/2017/07/11/交叉编译带RTMP模块的Nginx到Android/

Succeed on macOS Sierra 10.12.5, macOS High Sierra 10.13.6, Ubuntu 14.04.5, with Android NDK r15c

Feel free to open issue if you have any question.

Prerequisites

• Download latest stable version source code tarball of Nginx (make_nginx.sh will extract it automatically)
• Download latest stable version source code of nginx-rtmp-module
• Download and extract latest LTS version source code of openssl and openssl-fips(no need for openssl-1.1.0 series)
• Download this repo and place source codes as following:

  .
  ├── Setenv-android.sh
  ├── glob (glob.c and glob.h will be copied to nginx/src/os/unix/ by make_nginx.sh)
  │   ├── glob.c
  │   └── glob.h
  ├── portable_cmds.sh
  ├── make_nginx.sh
  ├── make_openssl.sh
  │
  ├── nginx-1.12.0/ (this directory is generated by make_nginx.sh during extracting the counterpart tarball file)
  │   └── ...
  ├── nginx-1.12.0.tar.gz (Nginx source code tarball file, the version could be different)
  ├── nginx-rtmp-module/
  │   └── ...
  ├── openssl-1.1.0f/ (openssl source code directory, the version could be different)
  │   └── ...
  ├── openssl-fips-2.0.16/ (openssl-fips source code directory, the version could be different, no need for openssl-1.1.0 series)
  │   └── ...
  └── sdcard (this directory will be generated if compile successfully)
      └── nginx
  

• Download and install Android SDK if never installed before, make sure adb path is added to environment PATH and it works well
• Download and install Android NDK if never installed before, modify Setenv-android.sh if needed (ANDROID_NDK_ROOT, _ANDROID_EABI, _ANDROID_API, etc.)

Build

execute these commands in Terminal:

# the leading period is important
. ./make_openssl.sh
. ./make_nginx.sh
