  STDERR:

Perhaps the ndk builder expects "arm" instead of "armeabi" there?

[inclement]

Have you had compilation working before? If so, do you know what changed to encounter this?

One thing to try would be targeting a different api (lower than 21).

[kived]

Android API 21 does not support armeabi. You must use a lower API or build for armeabi-v7a.

[kived]

This should remain open until we add an error message notifying users of this incompatibility.

[brussee]

I moved up to API 21 because since then JDK 7 is officially supported. Also because the NDK GDB does not attach properly which may have something to do with the JDK version and archicture (was suggested to me).

Android API 21 does not support armeabi. You must use a lower API or build for armeabi-v7a.

I did not know that (can't find it in the api & ndk release notes either)
Thanks for responding so quickly!
