I was having the same problem a while ago when I define cocos2dx variable in eclipse it didn't see it when building so the error ndk module path occured

Then I tried setting the module path hard coded without variable and it worked so my ndk module path looks like this, also defined ndk_root in eclipse

if [[ "$buildexternalsfromsource" ]]; then
echo "Building external dependencies from source"
"$NDK_ROOT"/ndk-build -C "$APP_ANDROID_ROOT" $* \
    "NDK_MODULE_PATH=/home/myname/adt/cocos2dx:/home/myname/adt/cocos2dx/cocos2dx/platform/third_party/android/source"

This is how it looks in my windows pc give it a try

if [[ "$buildexternalsfromsource" ]]; then
    echo "Building external dependencies from source"
    "$NDK_ROOT"/ndk-build -C "$APP_ANDROID_ROOT" $* \
        "NDK_MODULE_PATH=/cygdrive/c/Users/metin/Desktop/cocos2dx:/cygdrive/c/Users/metin/Desktop/cocos2dx/cocos2dx/platform/third_party/android/source"
else
    echo "Using prebuilt externals"
    "$NDK_ROOT"/ndk-build -C "$APP_ANDROID_ROOT" $* \
        "NDK_MODULE_PATH=/cygdrive/c/Users/metin/Desktop/cocos2dx:/cygdrive/c/Users/metin/Desktop/cocos2dx/cocos2dx/platform/third_party/android/prebuilt"
fi

Here is my Android.mk

LOCAL_WHOLE_STATIC_LIBRARIES := cocos2dx_static cocosdenshion_static cocos_extension_static
LOCAL_WHOLE_STATIC_LIBRARIES += chipmunk_static

include $(BUILD_SHARED_LIBRARY)

$(call import-add-path, /cygdrive/c/Users/metin/Desktop/cocos2dx)
$(call import-add-path, /cygdrive/c/Users/metin/Desktop/cocos2dx/cocos2dx/platform/third_party/android/prebuilt)

$(call import-module,CocosDenshion/android)
$(call import-module,cocos2dx)
$(call import-module,external/chipmunk)
$(call import-module,extensions)

The above links have detailed explanations on how to debug cocos2d-x project as native android application.

Answer 3

You have to change this line in "build_native.sh"

COCOS2DX_ROOT="$DIR/../.." 

depending on the location of your android project based on cocos2d-x root. For example if your your android project path is : C:\cocos2d-x\Projects\ProjectName\proj.android then

COCOS2DX_ROOT="$DIR/../../.." 

(you have to go three steps back to get to the root of cocos2d-x)

but if your project path is C:\cocos2d-x\ProjectName\proj.android then

COCOS2DX_ROOT="$DIR/../../.." 

(you have to go two steps back to get to the root of cocos2d-x)

hope that helps

You'll need to define your NDK_MODULE_PATH to the folder that contains "CocosDension/Android" folder.

So for example if you define NDK_MODULE_PATH += /cygdrive/c/ndk_modules

you will need to put your cocos dension here: /cygdrive/c/ndk_modules/CocosDension/Android/Android.mk

Answer 5

I had the same issue. The problem is, that the NDK_MODULE_PATH is environment variable and Eclipse (4.2) doesn't let you define environment variables for debugging, only for build.

So defining the NDK_MODULE_PATH variable system-wide is one solution. On Linux you can do it for example by editing your .profile and adding following:

export NDK_MODULE_PATH="path/to/module"

This solution is permanent, but not flexible.

Another solution is starting eclipse from command line:

$ export NDK_MODULE_PATH="path/to/module"
$ eclipse

This is more flexible and you can do it with simple script. If you change NDK_MODULE_PATH, you only need to restart Eclipse and not whole session.

Even I had issues with Cocos2d-x android. You can try this and see if it helps.
