"No toolchains found in the NDK toolchains folder for ABI with prefix: mips64el-linux-android" about filament HOT 85 CLOSED

Find your own local android-sdk, if you download the relevant sdk of ndk, there will be a folder called "ndk-bundle"

There is a folder called "toolchains" inside.

We noticed that there are no mips64el related files inside.

The solution is as follows:

Click here to download the NDK package separately through the browser.
After unzipping, open the "toolchains" folder, compare it with the android-sdk->ndk-bundle->toolchains folder, find the missing folder, copy the past
3. Recompile, the problem is solved.
Hope it helps you mate

from filament.

This is a problem with an old version of the Android Gradle plugin that only surfaced recently due to mips support being removed from the Android SDK. As stated above, it has nothing to do with the filament project.

Solution

Without downloading, updating, or copying anything, you can "fix" the error by simply creating an empty directory where the old version expects it.

Linux

mkdir -p $ANDROID_HOME/ndk-bundle/toolchains/mips64el-linux-android/prebuilt/linux-x86_64

MacOS

mkdir -p $ANDROID_HOME/ndk-bundle/toolchains/mips64el-linux-android/prebuilt/darwin-x86_64

Windows (thanks @dan-r95)

mkdir %ANDROID_HOME%\ndk-bundle\toolchains\mips64el-linux-android\prebuilt\windows-x86_64

The ANDROID_HOME environment variable points to the the root of the Android SDK installation.

I had the same problem (a very unexpected "No toolchains found in the NDK toolchains folder for ABI with prefix: mips64el-linux-android") when I opened an old project, and fixed it by updating some build settings:

for me, upgrade the Android Gradle plugin version to 3.1.3+ works.

from filament.

@AndroidDeveloperLB, I had the same problem with another project. I followed the instructions from Android Plugin for Gradle release notes; you may try to change your Project Structure settings as (check bold for the changes):

• Gradle version: 4.4
• Android Plugin Version: 3.1.0
• Android Plugin Repository: jcenter, google()
• Default Library Repository: jcenter

I resync'ed Gradle then rebuilt the project successfully.

In time, here are my Android Studio details:

Android Studio 3.1.4
Build #AI-173.4907809, built on July 23, 2018
JRE: 1.8.0_152-release-1024-b01 x86_64
JVM: OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM by JetBrains s.r.o
Mac OS X 10.13.6

EDIT: If prompted to upgrade Gradle, click Upgrade button.

from filament.

@romainguy You are correct. I was sure it's just NDK that's needed. Seems it's a lot more.
Closing this as I don't have time for this. Sorry.
Thank you for the good work.

from filament.

@romainguy So... please remove it from the sample too :)

from filament.

Isn't this enough:

?

from filament.

@AndroidDeveloperLB It seems like the old version of android gradle plugin(<3.3.+) was trying to access mips toolchain without checking if it exists. Upgrade the plugin version to 3.3-alpha may adopt to your r18-rc NDK toolchains(as @banshee posted).

from filament.

I had the same problem with a tutorial from Codelabs..

https://codelabs.developers.google.com/codelabs/constraint-layout/index.html?index=..%2F..%2Fio2018#0

When I imported the project to Android Studio 3.14 & 3.2
I got..."No toolchains found in the NDK toolchains folder for ABI with prefix: mips64el

Tried lots of ways and found the easy way.
Just uninstall NDK tools from SDK tools. Uncheck and click ok
Sync project with Gradle files.
It will then bring up update box to update Gradle..update.
Wait to update.
Done.
I actually got this answer from a Chinese site, thankfully Google does great translation.

from filament.

@romainguy Seems "mips64el-linux-android" is missing because it got deprecated:
https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/112810603
https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/112779429

https://developer.android.com/ndk/guides/abis#sa

Note: Historically the NDK supported 32-bit and 64-bit MIPS, but support was removed in NDK r17.

Please avoid using unsupported architectures.

@stark25795 The latest version doesn't have it, because of what I wrote above:

from filament.

For those who don't need NDK support, uninstall NDK fixes it without the need to upgrade plugin versions.

from filament.

I think I figured it out. See below.

Uncheck NDK. Then Apply. No longer get the missing NDK toolchains error. Now I am missing a library, but that is a separate issue.

from filament.

I just wanted to try out the sample, but I got this error:

This is the solution guys it just helped me out thanks man.@RichieDevereux

from filament.

It should be. I have no idea what the problem is here, we don't even support the MIPS ABI (and it's not part of the NDK anymore I believe).

from filament.

So how did I get this error (look at first post) ?

from filament.

Btw you don't really need to find the actual mips64el-linux-android-4.9 mipsel-linux-android-4.9 contents. You can just create a folder with the same name and copy contents from another architecture.

from filament.

This is a very annoying problem with an old version of the Android Gradle plugin that only surfaced recently due to mips support being removed from the Android SDK. As stated above, it has nothing to do with the filament project.

Without downloading or copying anything, you can "fix" the error by simply creating an empty directory where the older version expects it:

mkdir -p $ANDROID_HOME/ndk-bundle/toolchains/mips64el-linux-android/prebuilt/linux-x86_64

Obviously, $ANDROID_HOME points to the root of the Android SDK installation here. If you are using MacOS, replace linux-x86_64 with darwin-x86_64 in the command above. On Windows use windows-x86_64.

For windows, I had to change the syntax to:
mkdir %ANDROID_HOME%\ndk-bundle\toolchains\mips64el-linux-android\prebuilt\linux-x86_64

from filament.

I am using Windows, and creating the empty folders fixed the problem.
Exactly I created the following directories: \mips64el-linux-android\prebuilt\windows-x86_64
Under my $ANDROID_HOME which in my case is C:\Users\myusername\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\ndk-bundle\toolchains
I run the application again and this time no more errors.
Thanks for the help

from filament.

This worked for me. Thanks @petru-sabadac :)

from filament.

That's why we don't support MIPS, because it's been deprecated/removed from the NDK

from filament.

For me, just remove tick NUK in SDL tools resolved the problem...

from filament.

i think i fixed the problem. i just went to the website to download the ndk and clicked download older version.

and i pressed the second download on there (december 2017)

in that download are the mipsel and mip64el folders you want.

after you copied them in your android studio folder i did a gradle sync and the errors went away, after that android studio will ask you to update somthing (in my case) DON'T UPDATE THAT!!! i did it and now i'm stuck with other errors

from filament.

I encountered this issue with generated project files from cocos2dx.

Here's what worked for me

1. Change this in build.gradle:
   from:
   classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.0'
   to:
   classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.2.1'

2. Overwriting gradle* from another working project

from filament.

It's not in the samples.

from filament.

Btw you don't really need to find the actual mips64el-linux-android-4.9 mipsel-linux-android-4.9 contents. You can just create a folder with the same name and copy contents from another architecture.

@shoarma You might have missed the message I posted above - there is no need to download or install anything!

from filament.

Thanks to all who worked this out! Adding the empty mips architecture files worked for m.

from filament.

If you aren't going to use C/C++ then you won't need the NDK.
Game developers use it.
I have it uninstalled.

============= Above code worked for me ===============

from filament.

It opens properly for me on several machines. Do you have an NDK properly installed and setup?

from filament.

Is it possible that it's because I'm using Windows OS?
Or that I have AMD CPU ?

from filament.

Those have nothing to do with MIPS so I doubt they're related.

BTW did you follow the other instructions in the README and built the native libraries with cmake already? These are necessary before you can build the AAR.

from filament.

So it's a relatively new issue

from filament.

@stark25795 it works for me

from filament.

@chris118 What worked? Which sample worked for you?
I think I tried them all. What did you do?

from filament.

On which sample?
I tried now on "hello-triangle", "image-based-lighting", and "lit-cube" , and all show this error now:

SDK location not found. Define location with sdk.dir in the local.properties file or with an ANDROID_HOME environment variable.

Thing is, it points to a correct place, so it should be fine...

from filament.

@AndroidDeveloperLB You need a local.properties in android/filament-android too.

from filament.

@romainguy It doesn't let me open the project as one with all 3 samples with filament-android , so I can't have it all :

Also, I think the samples don't use this, no? Should use the gradle repository instead, no?

I now tried to open each of them separately, and it still doesn't help. Tells me "module not specified", but I can't even choose the module :

from filament.

filament-android is a library required by each sample. Just copy your local.properties in filament-android then open a sample.

from filament.

@romainguy Copy it? Copy it to where?
As I've shown now, when I open the sample after I've opened the filament-android, it doesn't let me run anything, as it can't find the module to run. Look:

from filament.

Copy that file inside the filament-android directory.

from filament.

Copy it to where?
The content seems fine on both projects.
It leads to a correct path.
Look at the screenshots.

from filament.

Uninstalling the NDK worked for me ( had the problem from Unity )

from filament.

@stark25795 your solution was great. Thanks, buddy!

from filament.

For those who don't need NDK support, uninstall NDK fixes it without the need to upgrade plugin versions.

@edisonw, thanks!

from filament.

I solved this！miss mips64el-linux-android-4.9 mipsel-linux-android-4.9

from filament.

I've been working on getting this solved for a good few days now. I got it working on android after I broke it trying to use an npm package called 'react-native-splash-screen'.

Upgrading my gradle version in the top-level project build gradle to version 3.1.3 solved the problem in my situation. I should mention that before I tried that, I deleted the android folder and rebuilt it because I kept getting some weird errors with 'react-native-firebase' that I had installed and uninstalled earlier.

from filament.

I have been battling this error for a week now. Could you elaborate on how exactly you upgraded your gradle version. Pretty new in Android Studio so any extra clarity is much appreciated.

from filament.

@landon-hillyard I have tried so many things I can't even remember how I got it to work.
Things I've tried:

• Delete android and node modules folder, run 'npm install' and 'react-native upgrade' to rebuild those folders.
• Go into 'Project Structure' (top right, folder icon with three blue squares) and then go to 'project' then put in your grade version and android plugin version.
• Check the top level build.gradle that the version is 3.1.3 like I said in my comment above yours.
• Check around in your other build.gradle and settings.gradle files to make sure you don't have any version conflicts.

This is a really weird bug and I'm by no means an expert. Took me three days to figure this one out. As I said before I'm working on a React Native project on iOS and Android. The reason why I had to mess with android studio at all was to add the splash screen and app icons. I also had some naming conflicts with 'rn-bridge', however, I want to keep things on topic for this thread.

from filament.

@SrgGroot Thanks for your suggestions. Attached are the changes I made. No luck. Still have.
"No toolchains found in the NDK toolchains folder for ABI with prefix: mips64el-linux-android"

If there are any other suggestions or insights, any help is appreciated.
Should I manually change the version in my build.gradle file?

from filament.

from filament.

Tried updating the classpath. Got this result.

Sorry where are the android and node_modules directories?

from filament.

Update the android tools version in project-level build.gradle.

from filament.

For those of you using stark's solution of downloading an older NDK and merging the two versions, the one you will need is 16c.

from filament.

Try to update the studio..If u r trying to upload old project then update the gradle as manually to the latest

from filament.

tried what @MNGsulochana said and yeah AS version 3.2 is working

from filament.

If you Found error 👍
No toolchains found in the NDK toolchains folder for ABI with prefix: mipsel-linux-android

Then go to gradle-wrapper.properties and change distibutionUrl to letest gradel
i change
distributionUrl=https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-4.6-all.zip
to
distributionUrl=https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-4.9-all.zip

from filament.

Thank you! It works finally. Adding empty files as @friederbluemle mentioned.

from filament.

Conversation with authot of SDL2:
I:
Hello.
I try use it for android.
And SDL require mips64el-linux-android and mipsel-linux-android from NDK.
But NDK now have not this file.
From NDK developers:
Note: Historically the NDK supported 32-bit and 64-bit MIPS, but support was removed in NDK r17.
Can you update your source code for android?
Bye.

Sam Lantinga :
Yes, this is fixed for the 2.0.9 release, which will hopefully happen on Monday or Tuesday.

from filament.

This is the solution guys it just helped me out thanks man.@RichieDevereux

I tried lots of peoples answers and ended up sorting it myself after long searching.
Frustrating when you are doing tutorials. I've had a few problems with Codelabs tuts and find a solution somehow. Il don't think I will ever need the NDK so it's gone.
Good you sorted it out.

from filament.

Is it possible that it's because I'm using Windows OS?
Or that I have AMD CPU ?

even though I compile it on ubuntu 1604 ,it still report that problem!

@romainguy You are correct. I was sure it's just NDK that's needed. Seems it's a lot more.
Closing this as I don't have time for this. Sorry.
Thank you for the good work.

Worst argument I have ever seen to close an issue

from filament.

hi tried fix some problem for this error if someone try it i commit it and tell me if it is working and for the record uninstall the ndk dose the job ask of u for some update

from filament.

I am using Windows, and creating the empty folders fixed the problem.
Exactly I created the following directories: \mips64el-linux-android\prebuilt\windows-x86_64

I run the application again and this time no more errors.

I still got an issue with this. It says:

* What went wrong:
A problem occurred configuring project ':filament-android'.
> SDK location not found. Define location with sdk.dir in the local.properties file or with an ANDROID_HOME environment variable.

However, all folders are actually positioned fine:

How come?

from filament.

If your old project didn't use NDK, just remove it from Android SDK Manager and reopen your project again. It work for me.

from filament.

@kjanard Which old project? I just cloned the repository here, and wanted to try out one of the samples (the triangle in this case).
And what do you mean by "remove it" ? Wouldn't this mean I won't be able to build C/C++ code in all projects?

from filament.

@AndroidDeveloperLB Sorry, my mistake. I didn't read an issue carefully and clearly. Your post just popped up when I search about non-ndk project.

The issue can be resolved by downloading an older version of the NDK (14b) and going to Android Studio to File | Project Structure and selecting it.

from filament.

This thread just keeps growing and growing and the issue is completely unrelated to the project it's in. There are obviously multiple solutions to get rid of the error, but there is one fix that does not involve downloading or copying anything that can be seen by scrolling up to #15 (comment)

I wish there was a way to "pin" a comment and/or prevent people from commenting "me too"... Maybe this thread should be closed with a final conclusion?

You need to edit the gradle version to the latest in this files.

Nothing here worked for me, but here are the steps I followed to fix it on my end (while trying to build the SimpleCalc project from Codelabs):

1. Tap the Shift key twice, click Include non-project items, type "SDK", and scroll until you find SDK Manager. Click it.
2. Go to the SDK Tools tab.
3. Uncheck NDK and click Apply.
4. Exit the SDK Manager when this is finished.
5. Expand the Gradle Scripts directory of your project.
6. Double-click on build.gradle to open a script that's executed to sync your project.
7. Make sure your classpath is defined as follows: classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.2.1' (or, if 3.2.1 is not the latest Gradle version when you're reading this, replace it accordingly).
8. Find the repositories section of the script under buildscript, and make sure you add google() on a new line within the curly braces, if it does not already exist.
9. Go to File > Sync Project with Gradle Files.

Then, Build > Make Project. If all went well, this should work for you.

from filament.

I'm still facing same issue since a long time.
Please Help. I've tried every solution above.
It still showing "No toolchains found in the NDK toolchains folder for ABI with prefix: mips64el-linux-android"

from filament.

Notice the file android-ndk-r17-beta2/toolchains/mips64el-linux-android-4.9/prebuilt/darwin-x86_64/NOTICE-MIPS64. The content of the file is below.

This mips64el-linux-android-4.9 directory exists to make the NDK compatible with the Android
SDK's Gradle plugin, version 3.0.1 and earlier, which expects the NDK
to have a MIPS64 toolchain directory.

So, i can say, using Android SDK's Gradle plugin above 3.0.1, or create even a directory marked with 'mipsel' and 'mips64el', can both resolve the problem. The latter method is below.

cd <path-to-ndk>

OS_=$(uname -s | tr [A-Z] [a-z])
mkdir -p toolchains/mipsel-linux-android-4.9/prebuilt/${OS_}-x86_64
