Android NDK installation on Windows XP SP3

[srinindk39]

Hi

I have installed the requisite tools and utilities regarding NDK for
Windows XP SP3

I had installed GNU Make 3.81 and added it to PATH environment
variable in WinXP

I had installed Android NDK r3 for Windows and added it to PATH
environment variable

I had installed Android SDK r05 for Windows and added it to PATH
environment variable

I had installed cygwin and added it to PATH environment variable

I had also installed the latest version of JDK and also added the path
to the PATH environment variable

When I run the bash cygwin shell and go to the path e:\Program Files
\android-ndk-r3-windows\android-ndk-r3\build and run the host-setup.sh
file i get the below error

Please run this script from the top level NDK Directory as in:
cd $NDKROOT
build/host-setup.sh

Can you help me regarding this

I am a newbie with regarding to NDK and solely I have never written
any programs in JAVA but want to learn exclusively Android NDK only
since it is C/C++ based.

Regards,
Srinivasan S Saripalli

Hi,

you must run the host-setup.sh script from the directory e:\Program
Files\android-ndk-r3-windows\android-ndk-r3 and not from e:\Program
Files> \android-ndk-r3-windows\android-ndk-r3\build !

So, in cygwin, do something like :

cd /cygdrive/e/Program\ Files/android-ndk-r3-windows/android-ndk-r3

build/host-setup.sh

Make sure you have installed GNU Make 3.81 with Cygwin. Before, my
version of make was older that the 3.81 and so the installation
crashed when I was running the script.
Execute the following command to see which GNU Make version is
installed :

make -v

Hi

 

I did the same thing for example in cygwin I did something like as mentioned below

 

$ build/host-setup.sh and I get the below error this time

 

Toolchain : checking for arm-eabi-4.2.1 prebuilt binaries

ERROR : Toolchain compiler not found

It seems that you do not have the correct arm-eabi-4.2.1 toolchain binaries.

This maybe the result of incorrect unzipping of the NDK archive

Please go to the official Android NDK Website and download the appropriate NDK package for ur platform

 

But I have to say that I have download Android NDK r3 for WinXP SP3 from the android website

 

and I have the arm prebuilt binaries at the below mentioned path which I have added tto the PATH environment variable.

E:\Program Files\android-ndk-r3-windows\android-ndk-r3\build\prebuilt\windows\arm-eabi-4.2.1\bin

 

So can you tell me what more do I need to do.

 

Regards,

Srinivasan

What if you install it directly under C: (i.e. c:\android-ndk-r3\) ?
That's what I've got in XP SP3 and it's working for me.

Instead of:
E:\Program files\dir\subdir
use:
/cygdrive/e/program\ files/dir/subdir

in all instances in Cygwin.

Also, spaces are not allowed in paths. Consider putting the NDK
elsewhere than in "Program Files". You can use \ to prefix special
characters, but I'm not sure it works everywhere.

Yes it worked for me

 

I just cut the entire tree of ndk and sdk and gnu make and put it separately

 

and it worked

 

now for the next task.............

You should not install the NDK under a path that has a space in it, this plays badly with GNU Make and other Cygwin utils.

Also, you need to install the cygwin version of GNU Make, not another one.

Hope this helps.
