How to Solve "Android/Sdk/ndk-bundle/ndk-build.cmd" finished with non-zero exit value 2 / exit value -1

Question

I am using latest version of ndk (18.1). Whenever I try to compile my code it shows me Execution failed for task ':app:ndkBuild'

I tried 2 different versions of ndk (18.1) and (14.1), Both shows almost same error while the only difference is that;

ndk (18.1) shows Exit Value 2
ndk (14.1) shows Exit Value -1

jni Path:

Build.Gradle:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
compileSdkVersion 28
defaultConfig {
    applicationId "com.fyp.major.fyp1"
    minSdkVersion 21
    targetSdkVersion 28
    versionCode 1
    versionName "1.0"
    testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
}

sourceSets.main {
    jni.srcDirs = []  //disable automatic ndk-build call
}

task ndkBuild(type: Exec, description: 'Compile JNI source via NDK') {
    commandLine "C:/Users/MaJoR/AppData/Local/Android/Sdk/ndk-bundle/ndk-build.cmd",

    compileTask -> compileTask.dependsOn ndkBuild
}

OUTPUT Error while using ndk 18.1

OUTPUT Error while using ndk 14.1

Any Solution for these Errors?

It's probably time to switch from custom 'ndkBuild' task to [**externalNativeBuild**](https://developer.android.com/studio/projects/add-native-code#ndkCompile) method. You can keep your **Android.mk** and enjoy full IDE integration. — Alex Cohn, Dec 17 '18 at 07:25

NDK r18 has dropped gnustl, so you must rebuild OpenCV for libc++.

As for NDK r14.1, there is too little info to explain the failure. Note that the screenshot mentions that ndk-stack.cmd and not ndk-build.cmd was run there. Could it be a typo when you switched to the older NDK?

In **NDK r14.1** the exit value -1 was because I was running ndk-stack.cmd instead of ndk-build.cmd (as you mention above). Now my code is running without any error. @Alex Thankyou ...... But I have still issue if I use NDK 18.1. Please check these images (https://imgur.com/a/sW6K1pJ) After installation I donot do any other setting for Cmake. Just run the code on terminal. Now how to create Cmakelists.text? – Fahad ALï Dec 17 '18 at 21:37
I don't recommend rebuilding OpenCV, it's much safer to use NDK r14 until they have official support for r18. – Alex Cohn Dec 18 '18 at 17:46
