cocos2d-x android build failed

Question

I'm sorry I have to depend on Google Translator because I can not speak English well.

I built the cocos2d-x project using the cocos compile -p android --android-studio command.

My development environment:
OS = Windows10
cocos2d-x = 3.17.1
ndk = r11c
sdk = 27.0.3 (android studio version = latest ( 3.2.1 ) )

How to fix this build error?

What's wrong with me?

Answer 1

CMake Error: CMake was unable to find a build program corresponding to "Ninja".

cocos2d-x 3.17.1 using CMake, cross-platform build system(by default).

Google mostly upgrade missing dependencies by automatic downloading in SDK.
eg CMake was upgraded from 3.6 to 3.10 (ninja required in latest cMake).

so you've to install Ninja in your system .

• If you're Window system user, download and extract Ninja.exe and set in environment path.

• If you're MacOS user you can install ninja in your system by brew.

I hope this solve your issue.

Answer 2

macOS 10.15 + cpp3171 + ndk-r16b

brew install ninja
cocos compile -p android
