I'm attempting to build the Linphone app, according the instructions here:

https://github.com/BelledonneCommunications/linphone-android

When I run prepare.py, I get the following error:

ERROR: The following binaries are missing: ndk-build. Please install them.

I have my path set to include the NDK folder. The problem is, there's no ndk-build.exe in that folder, or anywhere on my machine. There's a ndk-build.cmd file, but the prepare.py is specifically looking for ndk-build.exe.

I've downloaded and looked through android-ndk-r15c-windows-x86_64.zip, android-ndk-r16b-windows-x86_64.zip, android-ndk-r17c-windows-x86_64.zip and android-ndk-r18b-windows-x86_64.zip and none of them contain ndk-build.exe.

I know I'm missing something, I'm just not sure what it is.

Here's the line from prepare.py looking for ndk-build.exe:

ndk_build = find_executable('ndk-build')

Remember to set the environment variable ANDROID_HOME

Download the latest Android sdk with platform-tools and tools updated to latest revision, then add both tools and platform-tools folders in your path and the android-sdk folder to ANDROID_HOME environment variable.

Download the latest Android NDK from google and add it to your path (no symlink !!!) and ANDROID_NDK environment variable.

  • Thanks for the feedback. I double checked that my path is set correctly, along with the other system variables. – SkolVikingsGuy Dec 07 '18 at 16:23
  • To prove that it can find the NDK folder, I renamed ndk-build.cmd to ndk-build.exe and it finds it successfully, which is great except that it's not a valid exe and things go badly after that. So I'm back to the main question - why don't I have an ndk-build.exe anywhere on my machine when that script is specifically looking for that file? – SkolVikingsGuy Dec 07 '18 at 16:30
