Having a problem building for x86 and x86_64 with NDK 20.0.5594570 with VS2019 Version 16.4.0 Preview 4.0

[Devacor]

I am able to build arm v7 and v8 without trouble, but am unable to build for the emulator architectures with my setup.

I have VS2019 Version 16.4.0 Preview 4.0 I am using the latest NDK that comes with their Microsoft Android SDK Repo. 20.0.55945870

Any advice would be appreciated. I was previously able to build all architectures with a slightly different configuration with NDK 16b, but want the latest if at all possible.

Same problem as above. CreateProcessA() Windows API failed: 193 - %1 is not a valid Win32 application. can anyone help ?

I also work fine with --arch=armeabi-v7a, but failed with --arch=x86 Build in windows10 64, with msys2. @Kagetsuki

@Kagetsuki I modified the build script build-android.sh to enable show execcmds()'s work. You can try it by adding -d+4 argument to bjam.

./bjam -q                         \
       -d+2                         \
       -d+4                         \

I think my problem is same as the author, because we got the same error log. But maybe unrelated to your issue. I'm try to build again in Ubuntu, hope it can work find.

@shmilycode same error with boost1.74 & ndk 19/20/21/22 releases. CreateProcessA() Windows API failed: 193 - %1 is not a valid Win32 application.

Did you manage to find any solution for emulator (x86, x86_64) target

[lozpeng]

is here any progress with this problem? same error with boost1.78.0 & ndk 23.1.7779620 releases for x86 and x86_64 CreateProcessA() Windows API failed: 193 - %1 is not a valid Win32 application.
