Hmm, the Android SDK/NDK tends to break every couple of months so this isn't surprising.

Looks like one of the STL implementations in the Android NDK is missing, because cmake can't find the static STL runtime library libgnustl_static.a.

I tried switching to libc++_static.a, which fixes this specific problem, but then fails when compiling later with some other error.

You can do an update on Oryol and fips, do a ./fips clean and then a ./fips gen, this gets past the cmake problem, but then fails with errors like this when compiling Oryol:

/Volumes/Android/buildbot/src/android/ndk-release-r18/external/libcxx/src/future.cpp:97: error: undefined reference to '__cxa_free_exception'

At the moment I don't have time (and motivation) to investigate, and frankly, with all the hassle and pain the Android NDK has been over the years I'm thinking about dropping native Android support and just go with WebAssembly + Apache Cordova ;)

Thanks for the quick response . I have another more recent ndk-bundle on my PC , so I copied the missing "gnu-libstdc++" folder . And implemented your latest fix on androidBridge.h . The compilation passed, ran some examples on an Android device , works like a charm .

Maybe the urls in android.py should be modified to point to a more recent SDK ? tools_urls = { 'win': 'https://dl.google.com/android/repository/sdk-tools-windows-3859397.zip', 'osx': 'https://dl.google.com/android/repository/sdk-tools-darwin-3859397.zip', 'linux': 'https://dl.google.com/android/repository/sdk-tools-linux-3859397.zip' }

Please don't abandon Android ,. Your framework is unique , supporting both Metal and GLES2/GLES3 . This is important a specially since Apple is dropping GLES in the next release.

Thanks for your help.

Ah ok, good to know, this looks like a good fix. I'll try that out when I have a free minute :)

This should be fixed now with the above fips PR by @gustavolsson.
