Cannot set module stem for a library. Stop.

[Sandeep Dhandhi]

Hi All,

I am building third party library for Android 4.2. I am getting an error saying

build/core/shared_library.mk:20: *** : Cannot set module stem for a library.  Stop.

What can be possible reason for this error. How I can avoid/solve this.

thanks in advance

Sandeep

You have an Android.mk file that sets LOCAL_MODULE_STEM for a shared
library. Additionally, it appears LOCAL_PATH isn't set which makes it
harder to identify which file contains this problem (plus, an unset
LOCAL_PATH is a problem in itself), but grepping the third party code
for LOCAL_MODULE_STEM should be an easy way to find the culprit. This
check was introduced in Android 4.1. Is the third party library you're
trying to include older than that?

Hi Magnus,

Thanks a lot. From your suggestion I am able to find the issue.
I am using include $(CLEAR_VARS) after the setting of LOCAL_PATH. Because of that LOCAL_PATH is not set.

again thanks,
