How to fix or avoid “Android.mk: error: ”libxyz (native:vendor) can not link against libgui.vendor (native:vndk_private)"?

[Vitaly Bortz]

Hi all,

Is there a modifiable condition[s]/rule[s] which I could change to allow linking between two given libraries types and prevent the "can not link against" error to appear?

Thanks in advance,
Vitaly   

P.S. posted initially a question about this error on stackoverflow, but in 3 days got 0 answers :- (

vndk_private libraries are not part of the stable ABI provided to /vendor code, so they're not safe to link against, as it's possible for a VNDK update to be installed without recompiling your vendor code. They still have "<lib>.vendor" versions because they're used in the implementations of other VNDK libraries that are exposed to /vendor code.

Thanks, Dan!

Is there a way to allow unsafe linking?
