Recently I have tested to write Android application with native code C/C++. The problem is in making symbolic link when using Android NDK. After some Googling, some say to use cygwin. I have installed it now. Please tell me how to make symbolic link with cygwin in Windows 7.
Thanks in advance.
Please see this answer on similar question.
In short, define following environment variable:
CYGWIN=winsymlinks:nativestrict
or
CYGWIN=winsymlinks:native
and be sure you run Cygwin with elevated privileges (right-click the shortcut and choose Run as Administrator, or set the mintty shortcut property, Advanced → Run as Administrator).
All details are provided in the other answer.
I got it next day! So, not to wrongly get ignorance thinking like me (newbie to cygwin), I answer it now. Making symbolic link is easy for window 7 with these command ln -s ... as usual. The answer is setting up cygwin with required package like make,etc. Read requirement clearly. http://developer.android.com/sdk/ndk/index.html
You may try to use "mklink" insteed of "ln -s" as @Tony O'Hagan suggested here: Git Bash Shell fails to create symbolic links
