Hello,
Thanks for your answer. I'm trying to follow the instruction [to build pyinform] but I have this error:

Installing NDK: this may take several minutes
/home/ab/Desktop/android-sdk/ndk/22.1.7171670/toolchains/llvm/prebuilt/*/bin/llvm-ar does not exist

Please let me know:

• What country are you in? Some countries may be blocked from Google's servers either by the US or their own government.
• Does the directory /home/ab/Desktop/android-sdk/ndk/22.1.7171670 actually exist?
• If it does exist, please make a recursive listing of its contents (ls -R /home/ab/Desktop/android-sdk/ndk/22.1.7171670 > ndk.txt), and attach the ndk.txt file to this issue.

Please run the following command and post the output here:

$ANDROID_HOME/cmdline-tools/latest/bin/sdkmanager "ndk;22.1.7171670"

And let me know whether the android-sdk/ndk/22.1.7171670 directory exists afterwards.

[VWE22]

The NDK exist now with the command that you give me.
Now I'm facing another error:

[Moved to #1071]

[carloscbl]

So for me the problem was i was pointing in ENV to openjdk-17, but i hadn't installed

[mhsmith]

That doesn't sound like it's related to this issue. What error message did you receive?

[oddbookworm]

I also had this issue because I had forgotten to install openjdk17 on a new machine (so I had no JAVA_HOME set)
