Android NDK cannot find -lGLESv

Question

I am getting the following errors when I try to perform an NDK build, can anyone help me please?

I did the setup instruction exactly like what are written in "Beginning Android C++ Game Development". every step except the 9th:

"Click the NativeActivity node in the Application Nodes window and click Add once more. Enter the Name as android.app.lib_name and the Value as the LOCAL_MODULE name, which can be found in the Android.mk file in the project’s jni folder."

Errors :

10:44:23 ** Incremental Build of configuration Default for project HelloDroid ** "C:\ndk\ndk-build.cmd" all Android NDK: WARNING:jni/Android.mk:HelloDroid-Test: non-system libraries in linker flags: -lGLESv Android NDK: This is likely to result in incorrect builds.

I found the problem. I just needed to edit the Android.mk it now looks like this:

LOCAL_PATH := $(call my-dir)

include $(CLEAR_VARS)

LOCAL_MODULE    := hellodroid
LOCAL_SRC_FILES := hellodroid.cpp
LOCAL_LDLIBS := -llog -landroid -lEGL -lGLESv2
LOCAL_STATIC_LIBRARIES := android_native_app_glue 

include $(BUILD_SHARED_LIBRARY)

$(call import-module, android/native_app_glue)
