Android NDK revision 7 Host 'awk' tool is outdated error

Question

I am getting \"Android NDK: Host \'awk\' tool is outdated. Please define HOST_AWK to point to Gawk or Nawk !\" error on latest android ndk revision 7.

Answer 1

I was having a problem with different versions of awk on windows. This change uses the cygwin version of awk from a cygwin console and the prebuilt version from a dos console.

Add to init.mk:

ifeq ($(HOST_OS),cygwin)
       HOST_AWK := /bin/awk
endif
