How to print a var using echo o print in a NDK-build Android.mk file to debug compilation?

Question

I\'m trying to print some extra info when in compile a library using ndk-build.

For example:

LOCAL_PATH := $(call my-dir)
all:;echo $(LOCAL_PATH)
echo: $         


        

Answer 1

The following displays are available in Android.mk:

• error: debug print + stop the build
• info: basic debug print
• warning: same as info but displays the line number where it's been inserted

Here below some samples:

$(error this is the error message that will stop the build process)
$(warning this the warning msg)
$(info this the info msg)

Answer 2

The more correct function to call is "$(info ...)" :

LOCAL_PATH := $(call my-dir)
$(info $(LOCAL_PATH))

Answer 3

Use

LOCAL_PATH := $(call my-dir)
$(warning $(LOCAL_PATH))
