Build SDL2_image with ndk-build

SDL 2.0.7
SDL2_image 2.0.2

I have successfully build for SDL2 libraries listed below:

C:\MySDK\libraries\SDL\libs>dir /s/b *.so
C:\MySDK\libraries\SDL\libs\arm64-v8a\libSDL2.so
C:\MySDK\libraries\SDL\libs\armeabi\libSDL2.so
C:\MySDK\libraries\SDL\libs\armeabi-v7a\libSDL2.so
C:\MySDK\libraries\SDL\libs\mips\libSDL2.so
C:\MySDK\libraries\SDL\libs\mips64\libSDL2.so
C:\MySDK\libraries\SDL\libs\x86\libSDL2.so
C:\MySDK\libraries\SDL\libs\x86_64\libSDL2.so

Now I try to build SDL2_image library. I have created symlink in my SDL2_image folder
mklink /D SDL2 C:\MySDK\libraries\SDL

I have rebult.bat file

call cls
set APP_PLATFORM=android-14
set NDK_PROJECT_PATH=%MY_SDK_HOME%\libraries\SDL_image
set APP_BUILD_SCRIPT=%NDK_PROJECT_PATH%\Android.mk

call %ANDROID_NDK_HOME%/ndk-build -e clean
call %ANDROID_NDK_HOME%/ndk-build -e

When I set ANDROID_NDK_HOME to android-ndk-r15c I get this error:

build/core/build-binary.mk:688: Android NDK: Module SDL2_image depends on undefined modules: SDL2
build/core/build-binary.mk:701: *** Android NDK: Aborting (set APP_ALLOW_MISSING_DEPS=true to allow missing dependencies)    .  Stop.

build/core/build-binary.mk:701: *** Android NDK: Aborting (set APP_ALLOW_MISSING_DEPS=true to allow missing dependencies)    .  Stop.

When I set ANDROID_NDK_HOME to android-ndk-r10c I get this error:

[armeabi] Compile thumb  : SDL2_image <= IMG.c
In file included from C:\MySDK\libraries\SDL_image\/IMG.c:24:0:

compilation terminated.
make.exe: *** [C:\MySDK\libraries\SDL_image/obj/local/armeabi/objs/SDL2_image/IMG.o] Error 1

What I’m doing wrong? How should I attach SDL2 module to SDL2_image?

don’t know if this can help, but on linux, I think the symlink had to be relative and not absolute .

My problem solved by adding in SDL_image\Android.mk

include $(CLEAR_VARS)
LOCAL_MODULE := SDL2
LOCAL_SRC_FILES := $(MY_SDK_HOME)/libraries/SDL/SDL/libs/$(TARGET_ARCH_ABI)/libSDL2.so
LOCAL_EXPORT_C_INCLUDES := $(MY_SDK_HOME)/libraries/SDL/SDL/include
include $(PREBUILT_SHARED_LIBRARY)

yes, you’re right. I have this also for each pre-built library needed.
