ok. But why does the warning show up?

yes


--- Quote from: bluebrother on June 08, 2011, 04:37:36 AM ---How did you check out? Did you use the Cygwin svn client?

--- End quote ---

No I used tortoise SVN, until now I had no problem when building other targets like iRiver. Although I have seen that for example android/installToolchain.sh has the eol-style:native property set which leads to CRLF line endings when checked out on a windows machine.

Well, if I would know where to start, I'd gladly do so. For example how do I make the commands issued visible?

I don't even think it's currently possible to build RaaA on CygWin...

There's some ancient patch on the tracker that seems to imply that someone figured it out at some point, but I wouldn't count on it to apply cleanly still.

My best advice, and almost certainly the advice of many others, would be to set up a "sane" (if you don't know what distro is best for you...use Ubuntu) Linux distro in a virtual machine.

Trust me, just get VirtualBox and install Ubuntu on a VM.. you'll never look back

Because of a line ending issue when calling the Android gcc. I've changed this locally and now configure runs without warnings for me -- but it doesn't fix building because there are other problems left. Haven't figured those yet but I wouldn't be surprised if those are similar.

Basically, building for Android using Cygwin is broken.

Thank you for your effort! If I understand correctly the windows version of Android gcc cannot handle windows style line endings correctly?

Btw. the shellscript installToolchain still has the svn property eol-style:native. This should either be removed or changed to eol-style:LF, otherwise it will not work.
