Error performing mdk-build

By ushapriya on Wed, 06/20/2012 - 17:02

I downloaded Cygwin (working on windows) and I am trying to run ndk-build as mentioned in the setup. I get an error Administrator@Sensei /cygdrive/c/development/qcar-sdk-0-9-7/samples/shared $ ndk-build ERROR: Cannot find 'make' program. Please install Cygwin make package or define the GNUMAKE variable to point to it. I am sure I downloaded the make. What am I doing? Help!!

UPDATE on the issue :

-----------Error while using ndk-build from the samples directory :mad:----------- Administrator@Sensei /cygdrive/c/development/qcar-sdk-0-9-7/samples/shared $ ndk-build ERROR: You are using a non-Cygwin compatible Make program. Currently using: C:/Program Files (x86)/GnuWin32/bin/make To solve the

It seems like you have another version of Make in your system path. You should be able to override this temporarily using the following command (in Cygwin): export GNUMAKE=/usr/bin/make Run this command, and then run "ndk-build".

Update : Fixed make but fails to . . .

I had a Win32 Make utility I had to uninstall. Once that was uninstalled the ndk-build works! But when I build and run in emulator - all deployments fail with "The application . . . . . as stopped unexpectedly. Please try agan :: FORCE CLOSE button" No programs work on the emulator now!

The SDK does not work with the Android emulator. Applications must be tested on one of the supported devices.

Emulator - no support!

Thank you for your quick response. Is that something you will support in the future? If I would like to go for the least and the best hardware to test / try AR through qualcomm, what is the best / cost efficient device I could buy?

We cannot make recommendations on which phones to buy, it's really up to you. See the "Device Compatibility" sticky for more info on supported devices.
