Make error 126

[james....@naturalmotion.com]

Hi,

We're regularly suffering make error 126 - same issue as described at
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5256963/android-ndk-build-mysteriously-failing-under-cygwin-with-error-126.

I was wondering if there was any plans to fix this issue? Its a real
pain as Android builds just fail spuriously on the buildserver all the
time.

Cheers,
James

Do you need to use cygwin?

Cmd.exe or msys can both be used instead.

This can only be explained by one of the following:

• conflicts with an anti-virus program (then try to add Cygwin and all the directories where files are generated in exclusion lists)

• some incompatibilites between Cygwin and Windows ACL implementations that can happen sometimes, depending on your installation. You'll probably need to update some Cygwin setup files and some environment variables. Search for "Cygwin permission error" for more details.

In all cases, it is not something that can be fixed in the NDK itself. You could try using the ndk-build.cmd script instead, which shouldn't have this problem (still very experimental).

Cheers David! Actually I’m eagerly awaiting the next bugfix release so I can move to DOS builds. Unfortunately they appear too buggy in r7 (as you say, experimental). I’ve seen you mention that certain problems will be fixed in the next bugfix release so I’m holding off. The main problem I was getting with DOS was one I’ve already posted which was giving me 'Could Not Find E:\nm\UpgradeAndroid\del' which is baffling. Any insight into that? Any idea when the next bugfix release is due? Thanks for the support!
