Compiling for Android on Cygwin

[karltpb]

Hi,

I have been trying to compile for Android on Cygwin 1.7. I have latest SDK and NDK setup along with the cygwin prequisites for building rockbox, as per the instructions in the wiki. I have also set the ANDROID_SDK_PATH and ANDROID_NDK_PATH environment variables. Further, I have included the arm-linux-androideabi 4.4.3 toolchain in PATH.

On executing "make -j3", I get flooded with arm-linux-androideabi-gcc errors which typically look like:


arm-linux-androideabi-gcc.exe: /home/root/rockbox/lib/rbcodec/codecs/libmus
epack/SOURCES: No such file or directory
arm-linux-androideabi-gcc.exe: warning: '-x c' after last input file has no effe
ct
arm-linux-androideabi-gcc.exe: no input files


Does the toolchain look for path in windows format? Or is there something wrong with my setup?

Building for Android on Cygwin is not supported. I did look into that quite a while ago and decided that it's not worth the time for fixing it. If someone else wants to fix it: patches welcome (as usual )
