VisualGDB: cannot build Android native library

[Anonymous]

Hello,
I have installed VisualGDB on Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Professional Edition. I made Android App from existing Eclipse project.
Now I try to compile shared library, but I only see following in console:

1>Performing Makefile project actions
1>D:Androidandroid-ndk-r8bndk-build.cmd NDK_DEBUG=1 APP_PLATFORM=android-8
1>D:/Android/android-ndk-r8b/build/core/build-binary.mk:252: *** target pattern contains no `%’. Stop.
1>Project : error PRJ0019: A tool returned an error code from “Performing Makefile project actions”

Library is compiled correctly if I run “D:Androidandroid-ndk-r8bndk-build.cmd NDK_DEBUG=1 APP_PLATFORM=android-8” in directory which contains AndroidManifest.xml file.

What is wrong?

[support]

Looks like some old version of make.exe gets invoked. Could you please paste the entire build log here?

I also have problem with debugging. I try to debug your example project, activity started ok, but VisualGDB failed to start debug session. This is what I get:

/data/data/com.visualgdb.example.TestJni/lib/gdbserver was not found and could not be installed manually. Please try deploying it yourself.

Hello, I have new information. Today I can’t load addin (no new updates or programs).

[Anonymous]

I solved the problem with loading add-on. It was hanging msiexec.exe.
But I still can’t debug example application and compile my project :(.

[Anonymous]

I tried to run debug session on Samsung GT-I9000 Android 2.1-update1 — failed.
I tried to run debug session on HTC Hero Android 2.1-update1 — failed.
I tried to run debug session on HTC Wildfire A3333 Android 2.2.1 — BINGO.

Can I debug render thread in my application?

[Anonymous]

Anybody home ?

[support]

Hi,

Sorry for the late reply.
VisualGDB cannot start debugging because the NDK build system fails to include gdbserver[/b[ into the application package. It might be related to your build problem.
Does the “*** target pattern contains no `%’.” message always appear? Does reinstalling NDK help?
