LAMW (solved): linking error, missing files?
lazarus / 43-Android

I installed LAMW Manager on Win10 64bit from
https://github.com/dosza/LAMWManager-win.

Then followed instructions from the PDF here to create a test program:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1CeDDpuDfRwYrKpN7VHbossH6GfZUfqjm/view
.

When building, I get these errors:
Code: [Select]C:\lamw_manager\LAMW\sdk\ndk-bundle\toolchains\arm-
linux-androideabi-4.9\prebuilt\windows-x86_64\bin\arm-linux-
androideabi-ld.bfd.exe: cannot find crtbegin_so.o
C:\lamw_manager\LAMW\sdk\ndk-bundle\toolchains\arm-linux-
androideabi-4.9\prebuilt\windows-x86_64\bin\arm-linux-androideabi-
ld.bfd.exe: cannot find -lc
...
Error while linking

Tried several times to reinstall LAMW, tried with a blank project,
with the same result.

Am I missing some files or is some path wrong? Can't find anything
related to those files under the SDK folder.

The project options dialog (1st pic) is a bit different than in the
PDF (2nd pic).

LAMW manager is NOT written by jmpessoa, who wrote LAMW, so I consider
that you used the wrong place to look for a functional LAMW.

Try reset

Open cmd as admin
c:\lamw_manager\lamw_manager --reset

No, just wait for an answer by jmpessoa.

[using the translator]

The best way to install LAMW is to do it manually,

Since you use Windows, do the procedure in Option A from this link
https://github.com/jmpessoa/lazandroidmodulewizard

It may seem difficult at first, but if I can do it, you can too

If you have any problems, tell us

I never liked using Lamw_manager, fpcupdelux, because it always gave
an error

Installed everything from option A and did the Infrastructure Setup.

Now a blank form compiles, but when adding a button, an error dialog
"Error moving component jButton1;jButton" pops up, and message log has
"Error: unit not found: AndroidWidget".

The packages seemed to install correctly, and the Android components
were added to the component tabs.

The unit file is in:
C:\laz4android2.2.2\components\lazandroidmodulewizard-
master\android_bridges\

Shouldn't installing packages automatically handle the paths or do
those need to be added by hand?

Edit1: Added that folder to project options, now it at least compiles.
Edit2: Maybe I forgot to restart Lazarus, tried the same with a new
project and it finds the unit now without adding its path to the
project.
Edit3: Got Hello World working on the phone!

Whenever you start a new project, check the Add support Library option
