Arch Linux User Repository

btd1337: Thanks for the suggestion. Before today I use https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/android-sdk-ndk-symlink/ for that symlink, while I think it is better to just include that symlink in this package.

Please, consider to add this command to pkgbuild:

ln -s /opt/android-ndk /opt/android-sdk/ndk-bundle

Without ndk-bundle folder in /opt/android-sdk, the Flutter tell that ndk isn't installed even ANDROID_NDK_HOME is already setted.

thank you very much @yan12125!

Hi @cTas0099, NDK has removed GCC in favor of Clang since r18 [1]. You'll need to ask p4a developers to migrate to Clang or use one of older NDK from https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/?O=0&K=android-ndk.

hi, I get this error when starting the p4a compiler:

Build failed: Couldn't find executable for CC. This indicates a problem locating the arm-linux-androideabi-gcc executable in the Android NDK, not that you don't have a normal compiler installed. Exiting.

tell me which way I need to go in order to understand this error?

@n4nn31355: AFAIK gradle/Android Studio references ANDROID_NDK_HOME. What software or build systems use ANDROID_NDK_HOME? It's fine to have 2 or 3 variables, but more will be a problem, so I want to add the most common ones only.

yan12125: On current moment variable ANDROID_NDK_ROOT used as well as ANDROID_NDK_HOME. Could you add this envvar to android-ndk.sh?

I suggest disabling compression as it's not necessary for locally built packages. In /etc/makepkg.conf, change the following line:

PKGEXT='.pkg.tar.xz'

into:

PKGEXT='.pkg.tar'

marmistrz: You disk speed doesn't matter much because xz compressing is consuming a lot of CPU. You can set something like COMPRESSXZ=(xz -c -z - -T12) in /etc/makepkg.conf to utilize multi cores. Or you can disable compression if you don't need it.

On my computer compressing the package takes about 20-25 minutes. Is this expected (I have an SSD drive)
