Doesn't work at all

[rcdailey]

I'm building on Windows and no matter how many hours I spend on this thing, I can't get it to build boost. It also looks for the toolchain in the wrong path. Part of the path to the toolchain has "windows-x86" but it is installed as just "windows" in my NDK.

Here are the error logs:

$ ./build-android.sh --boost=1.55.0 $ANDROID_NDK_ROOT

Hi, could you try changing the line 239 of file build-android.sh from

CXXPATH=$AndroidNDKRoot/toolchains/${TOOLCHAIN}/prebuilt/$PlatformOS-x86/bin/arm-linux-androideabi-g++
to
CXXPATH=$AndroidNDKRoot/toolchains/${TOOLCHAIN}/prebuilt/$PlatformOS/bin/arm-linux-androideabi-g++

See where it takes us. Also, I haven't used cygwin in a long time so I'm probably wrong, but shouldn't the path start with /cygdrive/c/...?

FYI I did create a copy and rename it to windows-x86 just to get it
working. The logs I pasted are the result of that.

Yes maybe I'm not specifying paths correctly. What specifically ?​

You should only need to specify the path to the NDK root, which seems you've done correctly. You can try to run command

ls -l /c/android/android-ndk-r9d/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.6/prebuilt/windows-x86/bin/arm-linux-androideabi-g++

to see if the path to the compiler is correct. The log you've pasted hints that there should be another log file called bootstrap.log somewhere. Can you find and paste it here?
