Curl failed to build with NDK r16 unified headers

[pixelblender]

Hi,

OpenSSL build just fine but curl's configure process is broken with NDK r16 unified headers:

Android/sdk/ndk-bundle/prebuilt/darwin-x86_64/bin/../../../toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.9/prebuilt/darwin-x86_64/bin/arm-linux-androideabi-cpp" fails sanity check

Thank you for the awesome project and keep up the good work.

Did you solved? same error. I'm using mac. My "config.log" shows errors like this.

solved. you have to use "TARGET=android-9" in build_Android.sh. I edited it to "android-14" because I don't have platforms directory named "android-9" in ndk-bundle. That was the problem. I re-downloaded Android NDK, and copy android-9 to ndk-bundle/platform directory.

Good!

[FullStackChad]

Thanks for the update @heyask, but where did you copy android-9 from? With ~/SDK/platforms/ I found Android-9 but it's a complete different file from the ndk-bundle/platforms. e.g. arch-arm,arch-mips,& arch-x86 are missing from it. I re-downloaded Android NDK and put that there and as expected it didn't work.

Configured for android.

I experienced the same problem with ShawnnSnow....the same error log.

It should be working with the last commit
