[JIRA] (JENKINS-13107) Android NDK support not present for auto-dependency download
[ https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-13107?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanelfocusedCommentId=160940#comment-160940 ] Amy Winarske commented on JENKINS-13107: You'd only want the NDK if required. It's easy to detect - you look for the jni subdirectory in your Android project directory and see whether it contains an Android.mk file. The NDK is used to create a jar file that is then used in the regular Android SDK build, so the NDK build is just a step that comes before the rest of the usual Android build. See http://developer.android.com/sdk/ndk/index.html. In the event that Google changes their doc without notice, here's the info directly from today's NDK Getting Started: Getting Started with the NDK Once you've installed the NDK successfully, take a few minutes to read the documentation included in the NDK. You can find the documentation in the ndk/docs/ directory. In particular, please read the OVERVIEW.HTML document completely, so that you understand the intent of the NDK and how to use it. If you used a previous version of the NDK, take a moment to review the list of NDK changes in the CHANGES.HTML document. Here's the general outline of how you work with the NDK tools: Place your native sources under project/jni/... Create project/jni/Android.mk to describe your native sources to the NDK build system Optional: Create project/jni/Application.mk. Build your native code by running the 'ndk-build' script from your project's directory. It is located in the top-level NDK directory: cd project ndk/ndk-build The build tools copy the stripped, shared libraries needed by your application to the proper location in the application's project directory. Finally, compile your application using the SDK tools in the usual way. The SDK build tools will package the shared libraries in the application's deployable .apk file. For complete information on all of the steps listed above, please see the documentation included with the NDK package.

This is not usually an issue on linux systems, but can require extra work on Mac and Windows. I would note it in the plugin documentation and warn the users to configure their systems appropriately if they want the NDK to work properly. Required development tools For all development platforms, GNU Make 3.81 or later is required. Earlier versions of GNU Make might work but have not been tested. A recent version of awk (either GNU Awk or Nawk) is also required. For Windows, Cygwin 1.7 or higher is required. The NDK will not work with Cygwin 1.5 installations.

The NDK is dependent on the SDK, 1.5 or later. Depending on which sections of the NDK documentation you read, and which version of the NDK you are using, there are also dependencies on the following: gmake (name varies by platform) - env variable GNUMAKE nawk or gnu awk windows: cygwin 1.7 or later While most linux installations won't have a problem with these dependencies, mac and windows will, as always, require special handling.
