Build under Windows

[henorek]

Hi there, could you be so kind and add example for Makefile configuration under Windows platform? I have problem with setting NDK_ROOT. To be more specific, I got this error even after setting NDK_ROOT to my NDK location on disk NDK_ROOT=D:/ProgramFiles/Android/sdk/ndk-build

Error:Execution failed for task ':app:cleanMegaSDK'.
> A problem occurred starting process 'command 'make''

Hi,

here you have an Android example: https://github.com/meganz/sdk/tree/master/examples/android/ExampleApp_AS

If you cannot build the SDK, you can always use the prebuilt libraries that you will find on that link

Thanks!

[henorek]

Yes I used it, but even after pasting prebuild library into project as instruction says it doesn't work, still got

Error:Execution failed for task ':app:cleanMegaSDK'.
> A problem occurred starting process 'command 'make''

error

Ah, yes.. you are right.

If you are going to use the prebuilt library, then you will have to comment the compilation in the build.gradle: https://github.com/meganz/sdk/blob/master/examples/android/ExampleApp_AS/app/build.gradle

These lines are the ones related to the compilation of the library:

task megaSDK(type: Exec, description: 'Compile MEGA SDK via NDK') {
        workingDir 'src/main/jni'
        commandLine 'make'
    }

    tasks.withType(JavaCompile) {
        compileTask -> compileTask.dependsOn megaSDK
    }

    task cleanMegaSDK(type: Exec, description: 'Clean MEGA SDK object files') {
        workingDir 'src/main/jni'
        commandLine 'make', 'veryclean'
    }

    clean.dependsOn 'cleanMegaSDK'

If you comment the compileTask -> compileTask.dependsOn megaSDK it will be enough, but if you want to comment all that piece of code it will be OK too.

Ok then, we are getting closer. Now it doesn't see Mega dependencies, like MegaApiJava etc, of course I pasted libraries into project. I'm trying to build Android client btw.

The java files are on the SDK. Path: bindings/java/nz/mega/sdk

You have to include them on your project.

Got it. Still some problems, it looks like it cannot resolve some methods from MegaApi

I am also getting the same issue by trying both methods described in README file.

Any solution ?

No support for building on Windows apparently. I'm always getting bash: /d/Android/Sdk/ndk/20.0.5594570/ndk-which: No such file or directory even though ndk-which.cmd is present.
