So this is a bit of a tricky situation.

The immediate cause of the failure is that the Android libc likely doesn't have rindex.

But really, we shouldn't be compiling this particular package on Android at all, as you want to compile this on the host. We just don't have a good way to express that in our package.xml.

For now, I'm going to mark this as 'backlog' since Android isn't a supported platform.

Can I switch the branch from humble to galactic to temporarily work around this issue?

I doubt that will make a difference, as you'll be in a similar situation.

@Chris-166 I met the same issue, and I modified workspace/src/build/uncrustify_vendor/uncrustify-0.72.0-prefix/src/uncrustify-0.72.0/src/log_rules.cpp:51 . from: where = rindex(func, ':'); to: where = strrchr(func, ':');

after that, the package 'uncrustify_vendor' could be built sucessfully...
