Installing NDK on windows with Cygwin

[Jonas]

Hi,

I have installed the latest SDK and NDK but when running the command:

$ build/host-setup.sh
Detecting host toolchain.

CC : compiler check ok (gcc)
LD : linker check ok (gcc)
CXX : C++ compiler check ok (g++)
Generate : out/host/config.mk
Toolchain : Checking for arm-eabi-4.2.1 prebuilt binaries

ERROR:
It seems you do not have the correct arm-eabi-4.2.1 toolchain
binaries.
Please go to the official Android NDK web site and download the
appropriate NDK package for your platform (windows).
See http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

ABORTING.

I get the above install error?

Regards Jonas.

Did you install Cygwin with UNIX or DOS line endings?

[Jonas]

Hi all,

I found the problem, its the way / and \ in Cygwin are handeld.
Configuring the path to NDK in Windows Vista did not work.
When I explicit entered the following in my Cygwin shell environment
in file .bashrc it worked:

export ANDROID_NDK_ROOT=C:/Users/jonas/Android/android-ndk-1.5_r1

Regards Jonas.

Thanks. I have the same problem, but can slove it by Jonas's method.

Which version of Windows are you running?

OK, just a wild guess, can you tell me the output of "echo $OS" in a Cygwin terminal.

The host-setup.sh script assumes that this will return "Windows_NT" on Win32, but I wouldn't be surprised if it returned something different on Windows 7 or maybe some versions of Vista. That would explain the error.

I am using windows xp, and "echo $OS" returns "Windows_NT" ,
i have the same problem as Jonas. how can i get rid of this error?

hmm, this is strange. The script is complaining because it didn't find a known file
under prebuilt/windows/arm-eabi-4.2.1/bin. Did you properly unzip the NDK package,
and do you have files there?
 

[hrli...@gmail.com]

After I changed the path to NDK from C:\Users\Android\android-
ndk-1.5_r1
to C:/Users/Android/android-ndk-1.5_r1 , I can execute build/host-
setup.sh successfully.

hi,

can you pls tell me where did you change the path? is there any env variable?

 

regards,

[hrli...@gmail.com]

Yes, it is your windows environment variables, you need to change the
valiable : ANDROID_NDK_ROOT
you can find it in your System properties->Advanced->Environment
Variables.
