Answer 1

Look at the error: iostream: No such file or directory

#include "iostream" should be #include #include <iostream>

Answer 2

According to http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=35279 , this is a bug of the standalone toolchain. I think the best fix-around is ln -s $TOOLCH/arm-linux-androideabi/include/c++/4.6 $TOOLCH/arm-linux-androideabi/include/c++/4.6.x-google

Answer 3

First you need to create the standalone toolchain:

make-standalone-toolchain.sh --platform=android-14 --install-dir=standalone-toolchain --ndk-dir=$ANDROID_NDK_PATH

export the PATH:

export PATH=$TOOLCH/standalone-toolchain/bin:$PATH

Then build the file:

arm-linux-androideabi-g++ -o test-new test.cpp

Note: issue using revision 8b which is the latest version of the NDK: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=35279

arm-linux-androideabi-g++ -o test-new test.cpp --sysroot=$TOOLCH/sysroot
