We're trying to get BGFX to build for Android, following the guide here: https://github.com/Nodrev/bgfx-android-activity as recommended on the BGFX main site.
However, this repository was last updated 3+ years ago, and since then there have been major revisions to the Android NDK structure, meaning all of the library paths are all wrong. We've managed to make some progress, but keep getting stuck on the same error.
What we've tried so far:
Using various NDK versions from 17 to 25. NDK 21 seems to be the one before the big change in NDK structure but we consistently get an error at some point during the build with each NDK: 'alloca.h' file not found
Using NDK 25, we got various other errors due to incorrect paths, managed to get past those, but this just led us back to the above error.
Posting a message on the BGFX discussion board, no response.
We found a message here that appears to describe the problem we're having but the second solution does not work, with error:
error: use of undeclared identifier 'GL_PARAMETER_BUFFER_ARB' ...GL_CHECK(glBindBuffer(GL_PARAMETER_BUFFER_ARB, 0) );
and the first solution doesn't contain enough information to try to replicate it.
The main issue we're having is that it seems there is a variable sysroot which tells the build process where to look for headers and libraries, this points to --sysroot=$(ANDROID_NDK_ROOT)/platforms/android-32/arch-arm in the build script, which does not exist. Setting it to a platform that does exist, e.g. --sysroot=$(ANDROID_SDK_ROOT)/platforms/android-32/ got us as far as the alloc.h error above.
alloca.h is found in \AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\ndk\25.1.8937393\toolchains\llvm\prebuilt\windows-x86_64\sysroot\usr\include so we tried setting sysroot to $(ANDROID_NDK_X86)/sysroot/usr/
which led to the error:
\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\ndk\25.1.8937393\toolchains\llvm\prebuilt\windows-x86_64/sysroot/usr//include/linux/types.h:21:10: fatal error: 'asm/types.h' file not found
asm/types.h is found in a few places:
ndk\25.1.8937393\toolchains\llvm\prebuilt\windows-x86_64\sysroot\usr\include\aarch64-linux-android\asm ndk\25.1.8937393\toolchains\llvm\prebuilt\windows-x86_64\sysroot\usr\include\arm-linux-androideabi\asm ndk\25.1.8937393\toolchains\llvm\prebuilt\windows-x86_64\sysroot\usr\include\i686-linux-android\asm
but changing sysroot to point to e.g. --sysroot=$(ANDROID_NDK_ARM)/sysroot/usr/include/arm-linux-androidabi gets us back to the alloca.h error again.
This is the error in full:
process_begin: CreateProcess(NULL, uname, ...) failed.

We've run out of ideas at this point, would greatly appreciate some help!

First time android builder here. I used to do a lot of roll your own back on FreeBSD in the day. Getting back into geekdom with android.
I am trying to build android-7.0.0_r14 for the Nexus 6 NBD90Z to run under emulation. I plan to eventually build for my actual phone and this config is pretty close. I am building on ubuntu 18.04 LTS which is newer than what the docs recommend. Maybe that is a bit adventurous.
Here is what I get when I run make.
... snip

A core dump for flex was not produced in spite of the error message given.
out/host/linux-x86/obj/STATIC_LIBRARIES/libaidl-common_intermediates/aidl_language_l.cpp does not exist. That entire folder is empty. It would seem that something is not downloading/copying the aidl_language_l.cpp.
Any ideas on what I might have messed up?
I am still a little confused at the complexity of git/repo/make/ninja/soong/lunch to conduct a build. It is likely that I missed something obvious.
Thanks,
Jason C. Wells
Just replace your make by export LC_ALL=C make or put the export in your .bashrc
After I looked at this a little closer I realized the prebuilt prebuilts/misc/linux-x86/flex/flex-2.5.39 would dump core with no arguments. I created a soft link to /usr/bin/flex. Compilation seems to be proceeding.
I haven't answered why the prebuilt was dumping. My goal is to compile android, not troubleshoot the tools.
I performed Snorky's steps. I deleted my output directory for libaidl-common_intermediates. I deleted my soft link and restored the android tree version of flex. I re-ran make at the top of the local repo. The build proceeded past the error above and stopped at a new error. It appears that Snorky's answer worked.
Doh! I'm new so S.O. didn't give credit for my upvote.
I tried building LOS14.1 from sources using this tutorial, but I encountered a problem. When the build starts, the following error appears:

I already tried stuff like export LC_ALL=C, but it didn't help...
I used the wrong device branch (GitHub). =)
I encountered the following error when I tried to build Android 7 (QAEP from codeaurora.org):
ninja: error:
'out/target/product/msm8916_64/obj_arm/SHARED_LIBRARIES/
libqct_resampler_intermediates/export_includes', needed by
'out/target/product/msm8916_64/obj_arm/SHARED_LIBRARIES/
libaudioresampler_intermediates/import_in',
missing and no known rule to make it
make: *** [build/core/ninja.mk:149: ninja_wrapper] Error 1
I did a quick find for *qct* and *audioresampler*. The first one returned only a few source files from the vendor wlan driver, but no library (e.g. libqct directory). And the second returned nothing at all.
What does this error mean? Are there missing modules, that are referenced but not included in the manifest?
Any help is appreciated.
I am trying to setup an environment to build android and run it on an emulator. I've gotten into AOSP very recently and currently reading a few books about it. Wanting to mess around with it myself I got the following error:
external/libcxx/include/cmath:1345:9: error: no member named 'llrint' in the global namespace; did you mean 'lrint'?

In total twelve of these errors, with text in between but I haven't copied them all because they are quite the same. (all of them are: error no member named "{double L}[SOMETHING]"; did you mean: {single L}[SOMETHING])
This is the result of running: 1: source build/envsetup.sh 2: lunch 3: sudo make -j4
I am using El Capitan and have followed the official instructions. The only problem I encountered was that XCode didn't create a /developer/SDKs folder with the proper SDK in it so I manually downloaded the SDK from Github and put it in de SDKs folder (which I made). Is it possible that this is the problem?
The code that I am trying to build is un-modified android 6.0.1_r1. I tried running repo-init and repo sync again (to maybe fix the code) but with no effect.
I realise it's quite a stretch to ask, but I have no clue how to fix this. Thanks in advance.
you can try to use MacOSX10.11.sdk as your MacOSX-SDK
you can download MacOSX10.11.sdk from GitHub: https://github.com/phracker/MacOSX-SDKs
copy the MacOSX10.11.sdk to a particular path(such as ~/lib) and create a soft link to /Applications/XCode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs
$ ln -s ~/lib/MacOSX10.11.sdk /Applications/XCode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.11.sdk
(I also copy the MacOSX10.11.sdk to /Developer/SDKs/)
and modify the file int android source code: build/core/combo/mac_version.mk
mac_sdk_versions_supported := 10.9 10.10 10.11
done!
try to compile the source code again!
OS: macOS Sierra 10.12
Android Source Code: android6.0.1_r1C
XCode: Version 8.2.1
JDK： java version "1.8.0_101"
Need your guidance, I am writing one app in android with the help of native code which will communicate with CAN (Controller Area Network) port ; for that in my C code i used linux/can.h header file. and i am following "http://mobilepearls.com/labs/ndk-builder-in-eclipse/" this link to build my app. but one i set all thing i got bellow msg in eclipse console box
Compile thumb : can_port <= cansend.c
jni/cansend.c:14:23: fatal error: linux/can.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
make: *** [obj/local/armeabi/objs/can_port/cansend.o] Error 1
One more thing, i am working on windows environment. But i don't think this may be cause.
It is correct that it is not a Windows/Linux problem. The simple problem is that compiler is unable to find the file can.h. Now, for your info, when the compiler starts compiling, it searches for its header files in the folder
C:\(path to NDK folder)\platforms\(android-version)\(arch)\usr\include\linux
Now, if there isn't a can.h there, the compiler will flag an error. So the best way is
Either copy can.h to the above path (not tested)
Modify your Makefile to path to the correct directory where this header file is kept
Hope this helps!
