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

Do not make any white space in the Project Directory. If errors come again then edit the build.gradle(Module:app) below buildTypes block and add those line like below:

 buildTypes {
    release {
       ......................
    }
}
sourceSets { main { jni.srcDirs = ['src/main/jni/','src/main/jniLibs/'] } }
externalNativeBuild {
    ndkBuild {
        path 'build/intermediates/ndk/debug/Android.mk'
    }
}

Answer 2

in my case the project folder name had a space in it removed the space re imported it to Android Studio and that solved the problem

Answer 3

I solved the problem by adding a new build to the project and voila, it works... Don't know what was the problem with the CLI build though.

Answer 4

Please remove these directories

rm -rf .externalNativeBuild //if exits

rm -rf app/.externalNativeBuild

rm -rf app/.cxx/ //if exits

rm -rf app/build/

then rebuild the project.
