[question]Why libclang is missing on Windows?

[perqin]

On Linux, there is an libclang.so.11git (and many other libs) under toolchains/llvm/prebuilt/linux-x86_64/lib64. However, most of them are missing on Windows. There is no libclang.dll under 'toolchains\llvm\prebuilt\windows-x86_64\lib64`.

Why these libs are missing on Windows? I'm working on a project that relies libclang to work properly.

We only support building for Android with the NDK, and libclang.dll is something that you'd use to build tools for Windows, so it's outside the scope of what we support. It's only included with the Linux toolchain because we didn't specifically choose to remove it (the NDK toolchain is a copy of the toolchain we use to build the tools used to build AOSP, where host Linux is a target).

Unfortunately if you want to use libclang you'll need to build it yourself because it isn't something we currently have the bandwidth to support.
