Question

While trying to execute a program based on C++ in android via NDK platform, the compilation is giving error that ‘gl.h’ and ‘glext.h’ header files are not found, as I have included both of them in my C++ code.
M using android-ndk-r8 and compiling it with Cygwin.

here s my code:   
**ANDROID.MK**

LOCAL_PATH := $(call my-dir)

include $(CLEAR_VARS)

LOCAL_MODULE    := NDK1
FILE_LIST := $(wildcard $(LOCAL_PATH)/*.cpp) 
LOCAL_SRC_FILES := $(FILE_LIST:$(LOCAL_PATH)/%=%) 

include $(BUILD_SHARED_LIBRARY)

APP_STL := stlport_static

APP_PLATFORM := android-3

Thanks in advance..i want to know how to use OPENGL ES in android ndk !!

Answer 1

Not quite sure, but I believe if you looking into the sample code provided by google ndk, it could be a great help.

the sample code located at

    android-ndk-r7b\samples\hello-gl2\jni\gl_code.cpp

If compare the Android.mk, you will find your

    LOCAL_LDLIBS    := -llog -lGLESv2

is missing. The Android.mk provided by Google is looks like below:

    LOCAL_PATH:= $(call my-dir)

    include $(CLEAR_VARS)

    LOCAL_MODULE    := libgl2jni
    LOCAL_CFLAGS    := -Werror
    LOCAL_SRC_FILES := gl_code.cpp
    LOCAL_LDLIBS    := -llog -lGLESv2

    include $(BUILD_SHARED_LIBRARY)

and also, in the cpp source code, android is using :

    #include <GLES2/gl2.h>
    #include <GLES2/gl2ext.h>
