android ndk-build error on ubuntu 12.10 32 bit

Question

i have downloaded the latest android ndk r8b on my ubuntu 12.10 beta 2 . i have included the ndk directory in the PATH variable (when i write ndk-b in terminal and hit tab it auto-completes it) . but when i try :

cd android-ndk/samples/san-angeles/jni
ndk-build

i get this error:

make: /home/mixpro/Android/android-ndk/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.6/prebuilt/linux-x86/bin/arm-linux-androideabi-gcc: Command not found  
make: /home/mixpro/Android/android-ndk/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.6/prebuilt/linux-x86/bin/arm-linux-androideabi-gcc: Command not found  
Compile thumb  : sanangeles <= importgl.c
make: /home/mixpro/Android/android-ndk/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.6/prebuilt/linux-x86/bin/arm-linux-androideabi-gcc: Command not found  
make: *** [/home/mixpro/Android/android-ndk/samples/san-angeles/obj/local/armeabi/objs/sanangeles/importgl.o] Error 127 

when checking the /android-ndk/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.6/prebuilt/linux-x86/bin directory using ls i get:
arm-linux-androideabi-addr2line arm-linux-androideabi-g++
arm-linux-androideabi-gdbtui arm-linux-androideabi-size
arm-linux-androideabi-c++filt arm-linux-androideabi-gcc-4.6.x-google
arm-linux-androideabi-gprof arm-linux-androideabi-strings
arm-linux-androideabi-cpp arm-linux-androideabi-gcov
arm-linux-androideabi-readelf arm-linux-androideabi-elfedit
arm-linux-androideabi-gdb arm-linux-androideabi-run

meaning there is no arm-linux-androideabi-gcc in the directory

Answer 1

you should create symbolic link like this : ln -s /usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc-4.7 "/home/sofien/Bureau/android-ndk-r8c/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.6/prebuilt/linux-x86/bin/arm-linux-androideabi-gcc"

Answer 2

I am afraid that somehow you got arm-linux-androideabi-addr2line arm-linux-androideabi-gcc deleted. On linux, it is just a symlink to arm-linux-androideabi-gcc-4.6.x-google, so it's very easy to restore it. But maybe, to be on the safe side, it's worthwhile to reinstall NDK.
