Question

cd Documents/workspace/ndkfoo

home of my project

and then i try to run ndk-build command but keeps on getting

ndk-build
Android NDK: Your APP_BUILD_SCRIPT points to an unknown file: /Users/naveenkumar/workspace/com.gslab.zap:/Users/naveenkumar/Android/android-ndk-r8:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/Users/naveenkumar/Android/android-ndk-r8:/usr/X11/bin:/usr/local/git/bin/jni/Android.mk   

i got that APP_BUILD_SCRIPT is pointing to a different place it should be /Users/naveenkumar/Documents/workspace/ndkfoo/jni/Android.mk i am having my Android.mk at this place...

but i dont kw how to change APP_BUILD_SCRIPT to this path :( ,,thnks in advance

my Android.mk is fine ...here is my Android.mk which is under jni folder of project:

LOCAL_PATH := $(call my-dir)
include $(CLEAR_VARS)
#here we give our module name and source files.
LOCAL_MODULE := ndkfoo
LOCAL_SRC_FILES := ndkfoo.c
include $(BUILD_SHARED_LIBRARY)

and when i run it with NDK_LOG=1 i get the following

As we can see i am home directory..and still it takes that wrong and also my Application.mk which i put under jni so i tried pasting these three lines in Application.mk

APP_PROJECT_PATH := /Users/naveenkumar/Documents/workspace/ndkfoo
APP_BUILD_SCRIPT := /Users/naveenkumar/Documents/workspace/ndkfoo/jni/Android.mk
APP_MODULES      := ndkfoo

The directory structure is as follows: now as i was able to run this once so it is having .o and other libraries that it generates ......

NAVEEN-KUMARs-MacBook-Pro:workspace naveenkumar$ find ndkfoo/ -type f

ndkfoo//.classpath

This is not duplicate of build script not found since I am pointing to the correct build path and cmake is triggered.

The build system tries to find your AndroidManifest.xml by back-tracking directories. It looks like it found one under /home/myhome/AndroidManifest.xml and thinks this is the root of your project path. I assume this corresponds to another (possibly stale) project, not the one you want to work on.

Try invoking ndk-build from the directory containing your AndroidManifest.xml instead

I think you have a similar problem here.
