Compiling the Native Code with NDK

Question

when I am Trying to compile native C code like this:

:~/com.***.sample.ndk1$ ./ndk-build
Android NDK: Could not find platform files (headers and libraries)    
Android NDK: Please run build/tools/build-platforms.sh to build the corresponding      directory.    
/com.***.sample.ndk1/build/core/init.mk:345: *** Android NDK: Aborting    .  Stop.

:~/com.***.sample.ndk1$ build/tools/build-platforms.sh
.: 39: Can't open build/tools/../core/ndk-common.sh
:~/com.***.sample.ndk1$ 

The above error is shows.

Could anyone answer to solve this problem?

Answer 1

You have to add the Your NDK location directory to Your system PATH variable: let suppose your ndk is in /opt/android/android-ndk-r8b folder, android sdk is in /opt/android/android-sdk folder so, you may add the following lines to your ~/.bash_profile (at the end of file) : export PATH=$PATH:/opt/android/android-ndk-r8b:/opt/android/android-sdk

in addition You can run the following commands:

chmod -R a+r /opt/android/android-ndk-r8b

chmod -R a+r /opt/android/android-sdk
