NDK can't find the application directory

Question

When running the ndk-build command I get the following error:

Android NDK: Could not find application project directory !     Android NDK: Please define the NDK_PROJECT_PATH variable to point to it. 

The contents of my Android.mk file:

LOCAL_PATH := $(call my-dir)  include $(CLEAR_VARS)  LOCAL_MODULE := FRE LOCAL_SRC_FILES := FlashRuntimeExtensions.so include $(PREBUILT_SHARED_LIBRARY)  include $(CLEAR_VARS)  LOCAL_MODULE := NativeQCAR LOCAL_SRC_FILES := main.c LOCAL_SHARED_LIBRARIES := FRE include $(BUILD_SHARED_LIBRARY) 

Adding the following line doesn't help:

NDK_PROJECT_PATH = C:/Users/Wessel/Dropbox/workspace/eclipse/NativeQ 

Answer 1

You can use the following command

ndk-build -C your_project_path 

Hope this will answer your question.

Answer 2

NDK_PROJECT_PATH is an environment variable so you don't have to include in the Android.mk file. Is nkd-build launched in the project directory?

For more info read the docs in docs/HOWTO.html in the NDK folder where I read

Starting with NDK r4, you can simply place the file under $PROJECT/jni/ and launch the 'ndk-build' script from your project tree.

If you want to use 'ndk-build' but place the file to a different location, use a GNU Make variable override as:

ndk-build NDK_APPLICATION_MK=/path/to/your/Application.mk
