Apps help with ndk build

[George Stam]

hello guys,

I need to use a native library in my app but with all the ways I've tryed to build it, I get the following warning:

10-11 10:33:51.095: WARN/dalvikvm(337): No implementation found for native L[I](path to my activity)[/I];.Init (Ljava/lang/String;IIIII)I

and then the error

10-11 10:33:51.115: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(337): java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: Init

I have downloaded the library and I'm not familiar with c++ to modify or debug it if that is the case but I believe that my error comes from the Android.mk file which was like this when downloaded:

LOCAL_PATH := $(call my-dir)

include $(CLEAR_VARS)

LOCAL_MODULE    := gifflen
LOCAL_SRC_FILES := gifflen.cpp
LOCAL_LDLIBS := -L/cygdrive/c/android-ndk-1.5_r1-windows/android-ndk-1.5_r1/build/platforms/android-1.5/arch-arm/usr/lib -llog
include $(BUILD_SHARED_LIBRARY)

but because i use linux and ndk-r6b, i've modyfied it like:

LOCAL_LDLIBS += -L/home/me/android-ndk-r6b/platforms/android-3/arch-arm/usr/include/android/ -llog

This may be useful too:

$ readelf -d libgifflen.so

Any help would be greatly appreciated and I thank you for your time in advance,

A makefile uses a lot of information about your project, and without knowing this info, it's hard to make a proper make file.
Here is some explanation of what each part of the makefile is for.

#First of all, this is a very limited make file, 
#and depending on your project, there might be a lot more needed

LOCAL_PATH := $(call my-dir)

include $(CLEAR_VARS)

#This is what you want to name the library. 
#if you downloaded this make file, then you want to change this
LOCAL_MODULE    := gifflen

#This is a list of source files that will be compiled, seperated by a '\'.
#Again, if you downloaded this make file, then you want to change this
#and add your own files.
LOCAL_SRC_FILES := gifflen.cpp

#You shouldn't need to explicitly link to this, so I commented this line out
#LOCAL_LDLIBS := -L/cygdrive/c/android-ndk-1.5_r1-windows/android-ndk-1.5_r1/build/platforms/android-1.5/arch-arm/usr/lib -llog

#this means your are building a shared libary, rather than a static libarary. 
include $(BUILD_SHARED_LIBRARY)

That's a basic, and very limited, make file.

My next question is this: Is your C++ code using any other libraries?
