I wrote a small Hello, World! program in C and here it is:

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
    printf(“ Hello, World\n”);
    return 1;
}

Here is the make file

LOCAL_PATH := $(call my-dir)

include $(CLEAR_VARS)
LOCAL_MODULE    := cppTestProj
LOCAL_SRC_FILES := LOCAL_SRC_FILES := helloworld.c

include $(BUILD_SHARED_LIBRARY)

When I tried executing the same from command prompt using ndk-build.cmd, I was getting some long unknown errors of this kind:

    The quote characters around your string “ Hello world\n” are fancy quotes – see how they point up and down? Replace with plain ASCII ones. Did you edit your file in MS Word? Word, and other document-oriented text editors, sometimes replace plain quotes with fancy ones. Better use an ASCII editor like Notepad (on Windows), or a programming IDE like Eclipse.
