Mono Rebundle

Mono Rebundle

A utility for bundling Xamarin/Monodroid DLLs into an android shared library (libmonodroid_bundle_app.so).

Useful for bundling back .NET DLLs extracted using this tool mono_unbundle.

Configuration

After the first launch there will be config.json created and you have to set the following information:

• "AndroidNdkDirectory" - Path to Android NDK
• "BundleApiPath" - Path to mkbundle-api.h(included in the project)
• "SupportedAbis" - Supported ABIs, semicolon separated
• "ToolPath" - Path to a directory containing mkbundle.exe

Command line options

help - Display more information on a specific command.

version - Display version information.

produce-stab - Produce stab only, do not compile.

Options: -p, --path - Required. Path to a directory containing assemblies to bundle.

link - Link into libmonodroid_bundle_app.so

Usage

1. Produce a stub. Temp.c will be created inside temp directory in your running directory.
   
2. Make adjustments to temp.c.
   
3. Link into libmonodroid_bundle_app.so.
   

In my case I had to edit mono_mkbundle_init function in temp.c in order to make it match the original one.
