Fails to build on Win7 x64 and Ndk r8

[moritz-wundke]

Could you verify the path to the actual compiler? make sure '
/cygdrive/c/android-ndk-r8/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.4.3/prebuilt/
windows-x86/bin/arm-linux-androideabi-g++' is valid

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

This path is valid and a .exe file is present at the location

C:\android-ndk-r8\toolchains\arm-linux-androideabi-4.4.3\prebuilt\windows\bin\arm-linux-androideabi-g++.exe

I tested it using

admin@admin-PC ~
$  /cygdrive/c/android-ndk-r8/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.4.3/prebuilt/windows/bin/arm-linux-androideabi-g++.exe
arm-linux-androideabi-g++.exe: no input files

Thanks @moritz-wundke

[moritz-wundke]

and if you just do: /cygdrive/c/android-ndk-r8/toolchains/arm-linux-
androideabi-4.4.3/prebuilt/windows/bin/arm-linux-androideabi-g++
without the extension I mean?

Jim Dovey has only very recently added support for 64bit NDKs, it hasn't been merged to this branch yet. I don't have neither windows nor 64bit system, so perhaps you could be among first ones to give it a go? This

http://github.com/readium/Boost-for-Android

is the branch where he's made the changes.

[inetic]

Also, the paths don't seem to match:

/cygdrive/c/android-ndk-r8/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.4.3/prebuilt/windows-x86/bin/arm-linux-androideabi-g++
/cygdrive/c/android-ndk-r8/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.4.3/prebuilt/windows/bin/arm-linux-androideabi-g++

(the first one is reported by the build-android.sh script and the second one is the one asloobq tried)

Looking at the patch from Jim Dovey, it appears it won't fully fix the problem on cygwin though.

@inetic I tried building from http://github.com/readium/Boost-for-Android . It built successfully more or less, but I still got a few errors.

Done!

Any ideas why?

@asloobq, I made some modifications in this branch: https://github.com/inetic/Boost-for-Android

The changes probably won't fix the problem entirely but will log some information that might help. If you give it a go, do the following:

$ ./build-android.sh --clean
$ ./build-android.sh

It should also create a file ./logs/myst-log-[SOME-NUMBER].log . If you look in that file, on first lines it should contain something like:

HOST_ARCH=
HOST_OS=
HOST_EXE=
HOST_TAG=
HOST_NUM_CPUS=
BUILD_NUM_CPUS=

Please copy/paste those values here.

[asloobq]

Hi @inetic here are the values

HOST_ARCH=x86
HOST_OS=cygwin
HOST_EXE=.exe
HOST_TAG=windows
HOST_NUM_CPUS=4
BUILD_NUM_CPUS=8

[inetic]

@asloobq, I tried to fix the path to the compiler in my branch https://github.com/inetic/Boost-for-Android

Could you give it a go (if so, include the cleaning step as well)? And let me know of any error you see.

Thanks.
