issues with ndk-gdb

[alesko]

I'm trying to build the hello-jni sample application.
When I start ndk-gdb, it fails with:

======================================================

#$ ndk-build
cp: target `./obj/local/armeabi/gdb.setup' is not a directory
/home/alesko/Downloads/android-ndk-r7-crystax-4/ndk-gdb: 673: /home/alesko/Downloads/android-ndk-r7-crystax-4/ndk-gdb: cannot create ABI='armeabi'
ABI='armeabi-v7a'
ABI='x86'
./obj/local/armeabi/gdb.setup: Directory nonexistent
/home/alesko/Downloads/android-ndk-r7-crystax-4/ndk-gdb: 674: /home/alesko/Downloads/android-ndk-r7-crystax-4/ndk-gdb: cannot create ABI='armeabi'
ABI='armeabi-v7a'

/home/alesko/Downloads/android-ndk-r7-crystax-4/ndk-gdb: 678: /home/alesko/Downloads/android-ndk-r7-crystax-4/ndk-gdb: ABI='armeabi': not found

======================================================

A strange file is created in the project directory: ABI='armeabi'
which contains some executable code, I think.

Debug is enabled in the project and is built successfully. The apk file is copied to the device but I'm just not able to start the debugger.

I can provide more information if you need it.

sorry, the right command is ndk-gdb (not ndk-build).

Yes, there was bug with debug output in ndk-gdb. Please try r7-crystax-5.beta2, it should work:
