Error in Android NDK make program cannot find

Question

I am trying to set up Android NDK using this Link.

I started Set up process by following command make -v and i am getting

    $ make -v      
    bash: make: command not found

Then I entered following commands as given in the above link

cd /cygwin/C/..path for my project

/cygwin/C/..path of ndk installed path

At this point I am getting

ERROR: Cannot find 'make' program. Please install Cygwin make package
or define the GNUMAKE variable to point to it.

Note, I checked all this possibility error links:

Answer 1

ERROR: Cannot find 'make' program. Please install Cygwin make package or define the GNUMAKE variable to point to it.

While trying to install Cygwin i missed out to install MAKE PACKAGE

Just need to search make in the Search box and it will shows the Branches that includes devel branch and from devel branch i selected make package.

That's all issue fixed.

Check this Youtube link for Complete Set up process for Android NDK.

Explained from SDK set up process to NDK Set up process.

Answer 2

You're probably missing the devel branch in cygwin. Open the installer and on the package selection screen find "Devel". Next to it, it reads "default". click this to install the entire branch and you should be good after install.

Answer 3

My suggestion would be

• to install (in addition) GnuMake for Win32 - it has an appropriate version >3.81
• to create environment variable GNUMAKE and point it to your_path/GnuMake32/bin
• to call via cygwin make -v and enjoy the result

Hopefully helps.

But baseline is simple - it is really better to deploy something like Ubuntu (as separate OS or via VM) and run NDK there.

Answer 4

Probably Cygwin developer package is not installed. By default it is not installed. You, probably, should run Cygwin installer and install developer tools.
