ndk-build problem

By aero_dyn on Wed, 06/20/2012 - 17:11
Hello I am trying to setup vuforia SDK. Having been previously been in the process of developing a game for android on eclipse IDE, I only had to install/setup Cygwin Android NDK and Vuforia I have just install Cygwin and configure the variables and also Android NDK. So next following the instructions to test ...so in Cygwin i ran the test: $ cd /cygdrive/c/Development/Android/android-ndk-r8/samples/san-angeles $ ndk-build But I kept encountering : ndk-build command not found pls how do I diagnose the problem and solve it? (well one more thing, - i am using vista. But thats bcus I cant help it at the moment, otherwie I would have switched windows7. I should still be able to make this work in vista wont I? pleaseeeeeeeeee I need to make this work Pleaseeeeee some expert out there) Many thanks

Hello aero_dyn, Your path is not set up correctly. At ar.qualcomm.at in the Step 1: Setting up the development environment -> Android NDK it explains how to setup your environmental variable. Make sure the path is correct.

The problem was I couldn't find Android/android-ndk-r7. I did notice these, in fact thats not only one but also Cygwin version 1.7.9-1. I couldn't navigate to find the dropdowns that allows to select previous versions. So that means that vuforia sdk is hardcoded for specific versions?

Hello aero_dyn, Please use the latest Android NDK available on the Android development website. You do not need to use an older version of NDK or the Android SDK with Vuforia. Modify your path variable as required with the newer paths.

I doubt the path is the prob , i xchecked, folder struture is C;\ Development\Android\android-ndk-r8\samples\san-angeles C;\ Development\Android\cygwin\ C;\ Development\Android\vuforia-sdk-android-1-5-9\ i added variable path- ;C:\Development/Android/android-ndk-r8/ to the variable path

Hello aero_dyn, I noticed you have the wrong slashes in the path. Please make sure you are adding to the windows path ;C:\Development\Android\android-ndk-r8\ You should not need to set any other variable in windows.

Sorry the slashes were typing errors i checked they were back slahes. I set the variables in windows because the third paragraph under Getting Started Step 1..... Android NDK says: [COLOR=Black] [COLOR=Red]NDK requires the above directory to be added to the Windows path!

in cygwin I typed full path as suggested $ /cygdrive/c/Development/Android/android-ndk-r8/ndk-build

@aero_dyn have you resolved that issue?

@ryo are you also seeing the 'command not found' message - which NDK version are you using?
