Your APP_BUILD_SCRIPT points to an unknown file using Android ndk-build

Question

I get the following error while trying to compile an Android NDK project:

ndk-build 
Android NDK: Your APP_BUILD_SCRIPT points to an unknown file: /home/lamb         


        

Answer 1

You need to set the env variable NDK_PROJECT_PATH to the root of the project you are building. The root of your NDK project will typically contain the ./jni directory.

export NDK_PROJECT_PATH={root_of_project}

If your JNI code is in a library, then set NDK_PROJECT_PATH to the library project.
