OpenCV Android native code build issue

Question

I am learning how to write C++ code using OpenCV and I want to run it in Android. I use Android Studio.

I have created a new simple project with C++ support and then I added my test code to the C++ file. My own files compile and link, it seems.

Now something else that I don't think is related to my project is causing many errors. It seems to be something inside NDK. Could it be a bug in the latest version, and if so, what can I do about it?

Instead of downgrading to NDK14 from NDK16 you can still do with NDK16 by adding following to the CMakeLists.txt before add_library() :

set(CMAKE_SHARED_LINKER_FLAGS "${CMAKE_SHARED_LINKER_FLAGS} -Wl,--exclude-libs,libippicv.a -Wl,--exclude-libs,libippiw.a")
