I am following the steps on http://developer.android.com/sdk/ndk/overview.html to build the hello-jni sample, however when I get to Step 2 to run
cd $NDK-ROOT/samples/hello-jni
$NDK-ROOT/ndk-build
in the Cygwin command prompt, I receive the following error messages:
/bin/sh: -c: line 0: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `''
/bin/sh: -c: line 1: syntax error: unexpected end of file
Android NDK: Host awk tool is outdated. Please define HOST_AWK to point to Gawk
or Nawk !
I have Cygwin 1.7.9, Gnu Make 3.8.2, and Gawk 3.1.8 on my Windows machine, along with the r5b release of the Android NDK.
I also have set the HOST_AWK environment variable, which points to my Gawk folder.
Unfortunatley the sample cannot run successfully without this step, (if I run hello-jni, I immediately receive an UnsatisfiedLinkError exception).
Below is the portion of the init.mk file on my machine (found in NDK_ROOT/build/core) which creates this error:
# Location of all awk scripts we use
BUILD_AWK := $(NDK_ROOT)/build/awk
AWK_TEST := $(shell $(HOST_AWK) -f $(BUILD_AWK)/check-awk.awk)
$(call ndk_log,Host awk test returned: $(AWK_TEST))
ifneq ($(AWK_TEST),Pass)
$(call __ndk_info,Host awk tool is outdated. Please define HOST_AWK to point to Gawk or Nawk !)
$(call __ndk_error,Aborting.)
endif
Thank-you for your help
It turns out there was an apostrophe in my HOST_AWK path, which was causing the problem.
