I kept thinking about the fact that HaxeFlixel uses older versions of OpenFL and Lime, and thought maybe it was those that wanted the older versions of the NDK. I did not install the Android Studio bundle, I only grabbed the raw SDKs.
It is really interesting that it worked for you but not for me. Maybe the Android Studio bundle fixes whatever the issue is that I'm having with the raw SKD.
UPDATE:
I seemed to have figured out a potential fix for the issue and will share it for those who are interested.
The version of Android NDK that I was using that kept giving me the issue was revision 12b.
I decided to revert to an older version to see if it would help, so I reverted to revision 11c and it fixed the issues!
I'm not sure if something's wrong with version 12 of Android NDK, but reverting back to version 11 seems to have solved my problems.

Thanks for the info, I do have all of the appropriate SDK's and such installed and working. I've used them before without issue, but I am new to using the NDK, which is where the problem seems to exist.

I ran the clean commands and reinstalled hxcpp to make sure it was fresh, and no luck. It seems like it may be something related to the Android NDK. I'm new to using that and simply unzipped it and then pointed lime to it. Is there anything else I need to do in relation to Android NDK other than unzip it? Thanks for your help so far!
Hey, thanks for the response! I actually came across that issue myself where I had to change the directory name, but this problem is separate from that one. It worked a few times after I changed the directory name, but then I started running into this issue.
I found a version of stddef.h in the linux folder, so I tried copying that over just to see if it it helps, and then I got errors about stdarg.h missing. So I seems to be missing a few files and I have no idea why. I redownloaded Android NDK and these files aren't included in a fresh download either.
So I'm at a complete loss and have no idea what the issue is. I guess this isn't a common issue because no one else seems to quite know what it is either.
Hey, guys.
I'm new to HaxeFlixel (and Haxe in general) and I'm trying to build my test project for a few different platforms. I've tried Windows and Android, both of which worked wonderfully in the beginning. Windows still works, but Android does not.
There's no rhyme or reason why, but sometimes when I attempt to build my game for Android, I get an error about stddef.h not being able to be found in my Android NDK path, so the build fails. I ran the "lime setup android" command and went through all the steps. I assume it was setup correctly because I was able to build for Android with no problem at first. I got my APK, put it on my phone, and it worked. I went through the process of making some changes to my project, rebuilding, repeat. It worked two or three times, but then the next time it failed and I was given this error:
C:\Code\HAXE\HaxeFlixel\DungeonCrawlerTutorial>lime build android

But nothing was changed. I deleted my Android NDK folder and reinstalled it and it started building again, but only a few times before the same error came up.
What could be causing this and how can I fix it? Thanks for any help!
