Q: Build failed.... some suggestions?

Hi all,

Trying to get the basics up and running for a Android setup on Unreal 4.18.3.
I followed the docs on installing the Android SDK software and such, checked and triple checked it to see if I had done it all properly.
Started off a blank project for Cardboard/Daydream to see if things will compile and result in a .apk.

But I’m getting errors during the end of the build:

I’m not really understanding the path errors, and not sure what Unreal is looking for during the build.
In addition to the arm64 error, that is specifically set in the project settings…

Any tips are welcome!

Hi,

I found one part of the problem. During the installation of the NVPACK - for some reason - some variables got double backslashes in the pathname.
Fixing that took care of the ‘The system cannot find the path specified’ error for the .xml file creation.

But I still have the following error at the end:
UATHelper: Packaging (Android (ETC2)): ERROR: C:/Program Files/NVPACK/android-ndk-r12b/ndk-build.cmd failed with args APP_ABI="arm64-v8a "
UATHelper: Packaging (Android (ETC2)): AutomationTool exiting with ExitCode=1 (Error_Unknown)
UATHelper: Packaging (Android (ETC2)): BUILD FAILED
PackagingResults: Error: Unknown Error

I looked at the bat files etc, but cannot see the issue.

I hope this bumping will help out on the issue,

rob

Try to install newer CodeWorks and newer Android NDK for example version r15c.
