Help with cross-compiling for Android

[jkant]

I have been trying to follow the Android cross-compilation guide but so far am not having any luck. I have good dev experience with managed code, but am lost when it comes to compiling native code!

I'm on a Windows 10 machine and so far seem to have gotten furthest into the compilation process by using wsl and installing cmake and clang and extracting the latest Android NDK for Linux to use for my toolchain file.

Previously I was trying to run the build script in the Windows terminal, configuring Visual Studio to add several C++ and Android features, and making other modifications to the build script in the Android.md documentation, but was still not having any luck.

With the current path I am still getting really odd errors. For example -

/mnt/c/android-ndk-r27c/toolchains/llvm/prebuilt/linux-x86_64/bin/clang: 1: /mnt/c/android-ndk-r27c/toolchains/llvm/prebuilt/linux-x86_64/bin/clang: Syntax error: "(" unexpected

Thinking maybe there was just some silly code error in the latest NDK, I tried a previous NDK release, but that one gave me an "unterminated quoted string" error - so, similar category of error in each case.

In addition, I am getting several questionable log messages when I run the build script -

-- The C compiler identification is unknown
-- The CXX compiler identification is unknown
-- Detecting C compiler ABI info
-- Detecting C compiler ABI info - failed
-- Check for working C compiler: /mnt/c/android-ndk-r26d-linux/android-ndk-r26d/toolchains/llvm/prebuilt/linux-x86_64/bin/clang
-- Check for working C compiler: /mnt/c/android-ndk-r26d-linux/android-ndk-r26d/toolchains/llvm/prebuilt/linux-x86_64/bin/clang - broken

I am generally fine with trying to figure stuff out as I go, but my search skills have hit a dead end, and I am quite out of my depth on this one, so any help would be much appreciated!
