[ft] Building Freetype 2.6 for Android fails with "arm-linux-androideabi-ranlib: not found".

[Yaron Cohen-Tal]

Hi,

Did any1 succeed with building and installing freetype in Android? I use the following script to build it:

    #!/bin/sh
    export PLATFORM_PREFIX=/opt/android/ndk-standalone_toolchain-r10e-4.9
    export NDKROOT=/opt/android/android-ndk-r10e
    export ARCH_ABI="arm-linux-androideabi-4.9"
    export ANDROID_PLATFORM=android-21
    sudo rm -rf $PLATFORM_PREFIX
    sudo mkdir -p $PLATFORM_PREFIX
    sudo $NDKROOT/build/tools/make-standalone-toolchain.sh --platform=$ANDROID_PLATFORM \
        --system=linux-x86_64 --arch=arm --abis=armeabi-v7a --ndk-dir=$NDKROOT \
        --toolchain=$ARCH_ABI --install-dir=$PLATFORM_PREFIX
    sudo chmod -R 755 $PLATFORM_PREFIX
    export PATH=$PLATFORM_PREFIX/bin:$PATH
    export HOST=arm-linux-androideabi
    BUILD_DIR=freetype-android-standalone-2.6
    rm -rf $BUILD_DIR
    mkdir $BUILD_DIR
    cd $BUILD_DIR
    ../../src/freetype-2.6/configure --host=$HOST --prefix=$PLATFORM_PREFIX \
        --without-zlib --with-png=no
    make -j4
    sudo make install

And the "sudo make install" step it fails with:

libtool: install: arm-linux-androideabi-ranlib /opt/android/ndk-standalone_toolchain-r10e-4.9/lib/libfreetype.a
/home/yaronct/build/freetype-android-standalone-2.6/libtool: 1: eval: arm-linux-androideabi-ranlib: not found
/home/yaronct/src/freetype-2.6/builds/unix/install.mk:32: recipe for target 'install' failed
make: *** [install] Error 127

but the file exists and it's in the "PATH":

which arm-linux-androideabi-ranlib
/opt/android/ndk-standalone_toolchain-r10e-4.9/bin/arm-linux-androideabi-ranlib

And has the required permissions:

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 732696 Nov  4 05:27 /opt/android/ndk-standalone_toolchain-r10e-4.9/bin/arm-linux-androideabi-ranlib

I'm using Debian 8.1 for AMD64.

Thanx,

Yaron.
