Can't run Android OpenCV face detection example

Answer 1

You should compile that stuff for ARM architecture (depending on your device). In principle gcc can do that but it is a little bit of work because your need android ndk , android sdk and android built-tools .

I advice you to start very simple. Having a running empty app that calls a native c++ function. And once this is settled your should proceed to opencv.

Have a look at this. I made it https://github.com/skanti/Android-Manual-Build-Command-Line
