Android Build failed after adding Crosswalk to Ionic

Question

Got excited about Ionic adding Crosswalk and now my project won't build. The project was compiling and working before updating and adding Crosswalk. Anyone have any suggestions on how I can correct the error below? I prefer not to rollback. Thank goodness for version control :)

System information:

• OS: Windows 8
• Node Version: v0.10.32
• Cordova CLI: 4.2.0
• Ionic Version: 1.0.0-beta.14
• Ionic CLI Version: 1.3.1
• AngularJS v1.3.8

WARNING [Project: :org.apache.cordova.engine.crosswalk:382300-xwalk_core_library] Current NDK support is deprecated. Alternative will be provided in the future.

Answer 1

Looks like you were getting similar errors to this question, which was that on Windows, path names are restricted to 260 characters, so moving to a directory with a shorter path name should fix your issues.
