NDK-build causes error

Question

I had been trying to solve this issue for quiet a long time,I am using a library called FreeImage and when tries to do the NDK build the code results in following error My source can be downloaded from

I think you are seeing a bug in gcc/NDK that manifests itself slightly differently on Linux, Cygwin, and Windows (non Cygwin).

Here's what I did to fix it (works for Linux and for one of my developers who is blind and has to use Cygwin)...

- Remove the line that says, APP_STL := gnustl_static from your Application.mk (it's broken in the NDK; moreover, it's broken slightly differently on Linux Cygwin, Windows)

- add three lines to Andriod.mk that say,
LOCAL_C_INCLUDES := $(NDK_ROOT)/sources/cxx-stl/gnu-libstdc++/4.6/include LOCAL_C_INCLUDES += $(NDK_ROOT)/sources/cxx-stl/gnu-libstdc++/4.6/libs/armeabi-v7a/include
$(LOCAL_LDLIBS) += $(NDK_ROOT)/sources/cxx-stl/gnu-libstdc++/4.6/libs/armeabi-v7a/libgnustl_static.a
^^^This line must be near the end of your $(LOCAL_LDLIBS)

The forgoing will accomplish what having, "APP_STL := gnustl_static" in your Application.mk was supposed to.
