Build with lxml not working

[ghost]

./distribute.sh -m "lxml kivy"

That command gives the following error message:

-L/home/david/android/python-for-android/build/libs
-L/home/david/android/python-for-android/build/python-install/lib
-lm
-lGLESv2
-lpython2.7
/usr/lib/libpython2.7.so: file not recognized: File format not recognized
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

I've tried cleaning the git without any success. When that didn't work I tried adding the dependencies to the build:
./distribute.sh -m "libxml2 libxslt python lxml kivy"
Also without success.

It should be noted that I can build distributions without lxml.

The same issue (although with PIL and seems to be fixed) can be found here:
(EDIT: Removed link as it was a completly different issue)

Well I get no errors during building it via ./distribute.sh -m "lxml kivy"

Which NDK / SDK do you use?

Have you tried to make a clean build by removing the whole folder and downloading python-for-android, again?

[ghost]

I was using the NDK r8d and SDK 21.0 when I posted this issue. Now I'm using NDK r8c, but unfortunately, the same error is still there.

Yes, so I have.

[thopiekar]

Please try to replace the NDK r8d with r8c.

I'm not familiar with the changes but try first of all the supported version, before using r8d.

I replaced the SDK, NDK and python-for-android with new versions of their kin (one of them being the NDK r8c), and it didn't seem to do the trick. Still the same error.

When that didn't work I tried installing python-for-android to my laptop and it works like a charm.

[thopiekar]

Check your installation again in this case. You probably missed something..

Please reopen with the full compilation log, we cannot help with just this error :)
It's using the system path, so something got wrong earlier i guess.
