Error in Android NDK make program cannot find

Question

I am trying to set up Android NDK using this Link.

I started Set up process by following command make -v and i am getting

    $ mak         


        

Answer 1

You're probably missing the devel branch in cygwin. Open the installer and on the package selection screen find "Devel". Next to it, it reads "default". click this to install the entire branch and you should be good after install.

Answer 2

Probably Cygwin developer package is not installed. By default it is not installed. You, probably, should run Cygwin installer and install developer tools.

Answer 3

Try to add cygwin/bin(like C:\cygwin64\bin) path to System Environment Variables.

Answer 4

My suggestion would be

• to install (in addition) GnuMake for Win32 - it has an appropriate version >3.81
• to create environment variable GNUMAKE and point it to your_path/GnuMake32/bin
• to call via cygwin make -v and enjoy the result

Hopefully helps.

But baseline is simple - it is really better to deploy something like Ubuntu (as separate OS or via VM) and run NDK there.

Answer 5

ERROR: Cannot find 'make' program. Please install Cygwin make package or define the GNUMAKE variable to point to it.

While trying to install Cygwin i missed out to install MAKE PACKAGE

Just need to search make in the Search box and it will shows the Branches that includes devel branch and from devel branch i selected make package.

That's all issue fixed.
