Android NDK Debugging [for mere mortals]

[AshCairo]

@mighter1488 Which command are you running to get that error?

[mighter1488]

I couldn't make it work, nevertheless, MAN, you're just awesome!

I'm totally stuck with NDK:( but you made me smile couple of times. Thanks.

Here's my error in console:

Target selection failed.

Remote communication error: Bad file descriptor.

Can't understand what it means. Oh, that's really a peace of crap.

I am getting an error on "ndk-build" command saying

"Android NDK: Host 'awk' tool is outdated. Please define HOST_AWK to point to Gawk or Nawk !"

I don't have any idea where I went wrong.

@kashif4441 I had a similar error a while back, instead of installing gawk, I installed nawk, and it worked fine.

Yeah still can't get this to work... why can't Google just make it work automatically instead of jumping through hoops to debug native code?

[AshCairo]

@mcsnaperville is there a particular error you're getting? Which phone are you using? You might need to root your phone.

All I can say is a huge thank you. Many people often add a comment to a blog or video posting saying this saved me, and well, it did. I was determined to make my own video of how to debug NDK under Eclipse once I figured it out and just when I was about to gave up I found your video.

@soliax thanks for the feedback. Sorry this version was so long and all over the place. If you ever get round to doing a ndk video tutorial, I'd love to see it.
