NDK 1.6 Linux distro - minor bug in build/host-setup.sh?

[Bro' Rat McMudd]

Hello Google NDK folks,

I apologize if this is a FAQ.

Just downloaded NDK 1.6 Linux distro. According to the installation
instructions, I should run:
<ndk>/build/host_setup.sh
But this step was failing with the error messages:
jminer@jminer-ubuntu-128gb:~/SWTools/android-ndk-1.6_r1$ build/host-
setup.sh --verbose
Checking host development environment.
NDK Root : /home/jminer/SWTools/android-ndk-1.6_r1

Please ensure that either one of them is installed.
Use the --no-awk-check option to ignore this message.

Looking at the script source:
Line 119 reads:
if [ "$result" == "Pass" ] ; then

I believe it should read:
if [ "$result" = "Pass" ] ; then

I made this change and the script completed with no errors.

Thanks...Jim Miner

Hi,
I had the same problem and fixing the line 119 solved it for me.
But I see that this message is from October last year. It is strange
that this problem has not been fixed yet in the NDK build.

Would anyone from google like to comment that is it really a big deal
to fix this issue in the NDK release package?

Thanks to people who reported and fixed this problem,
Regards,
Divick
