This is the Stack Overflow copied

I am using Win7 and Cygwin

I get the source code by cloning using "GIT for Windows". Placing it into: 
C:\temp\ECLIPSE\workspace\SA1

I download the following:

    http://download.osgeo.org/geos/geos-3.2.2.tar.bz2
    ftp://ftp.remotesensing.org/proj/proj-4.7.0.tar.gz

I place these in: C:\temp\ECLIPSE\workspace\SA1\spatialite-android-library\jni

I then start Cygwin and do the following:

$ cd c:/temp/eclipse/workspace/sa1/spatialite-android-library/jni
$ tar xvjf geos-3.2.2.tar.bz2
$ cd geos-3.2.2
$ ./configure --build=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu --host=arm-linux-eabi

Outside of Cygwin, I open in an editor: 
C:\temp\ECLIPSE\workspace\SA1\spatialite-android-library\jni\geos-3.2.2\source\h
eaders\geos\platform.h and make couple of changes so it resembles below

/* Set to 1 if you have `int64_t' type */
/* #undef HAVE_INT64_T_64 */

/* Set to 1 if `long int' is 64 bits */
/* #undef HAVE_LONG_INT_64 */

/* Set to 1 if `long long int' is 64 bits */
/* #undef HAVE_LONG_LONG_INT_64 */

/* Set to 1 if you have ieeefp.h */
/* #undef HAVE_IEEEFP_H */

/* Has finite */
#define HAVE_FINITE 1

/* Has isfinite */
/* #undef HAVE_ISFINITE */

/* Has isnan */
#define HAVE_ISNAN 1

Save and close

I then go back to Cygwin and do the following:

$ cd ..
$ tar xvzf proj-4.7.0.tar.gz
$ cd proj-4.7.0
$ ./configure --build=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu --host=arm-linux-eabi
$ cd ..
$ /cygdrive/c/android-ndk-r8/ndk-build

Along with the Compile++ lines the following compiles

StaticLibrary  : libiconv.a
StaticLibrary  : libproj.a

However while it's going through geos it comes up with the following error:

Compile++ thumb  : geos <= TaggedLineSegment.cpp
Compile++ thumb  : geos <= TaggedLinesSimplifier.cpp
Compile++ thumb  : geos <= TaggedLineString.cpp
Compile++ thumb  : geos <= TaggedLineStringSimplifier.cpp

$

Can someone help with how I can fix this? Any help greatly appreciated!

This appears to be an issue with the NDK.  This error occurs when the argument 
list provided is too long.  Usually this can be fixed using a options file.  
See @<file> parameter for arm-linux-androideabi-ar.

Searching the internet it appears this issue has bee reported to Google. The 
only workaround I can offer is to use a Ubuntu VM to compile the native code.

• Changed state: WontFix
• Added labels: OpSys-Windows

Hi Eric,

if the binaries are available that would be fantastic.

Also just noticed that diligent...@gmail.com managed to complete the compile in 
Issue 3, would he have found the same error as above? Just wondering what he 
could have done differently?

Much Regards

Have you tried adding the following to the make files?

LOCAL_SHORT_COMMANDS := true
