[Question][Android] Issues with Create Android Project using Compiled Models

[drahmad89]

I am trying to create android project on window 10. When trying to run prepare.sh I am getting the following issue:

• cd build

• touch config.cmake

• echo 'set(TVM_HOME C:\Users\chaahm\Documents\mlc-llm-main\3rdparty\tvm\include\tvm\runtime)'

• cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release '-DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=C:\Users\chaahm\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\ndk\26.1.10909125/build/cmake/android.toolchain.cmake' -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=. -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS=-O3 -DANDROID_ABI=arm64-v8a -DANDROID_NATIVE_API_LEVEL=android-24 -DANDROID_PLATFORM=android-24 -DCMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH_MODE_PACKAGE=ON -DANDROID_STL=c++_static -DUSE_HEXAGON_SDK=OFF -DMLC_LLM_INSTALL_STATIC_LIB=ON -DCMAKE_SKIP_INSTALL_ALL_DEPENDENCY=ON -DUSE_OPENCL=ON -DUSE_CUSTOM_LOGGING=ON
  CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:3 (project):
  Running

  'nmake' '-?'

  failed with:

Can anyone help me?

Thanks

Could you share the full logs? Given it fails with "no such file or directory", I'd love to see what is missing exactly

Hi,

I did the same procedure than zilong-dy and got exactly the same error than him.

Since we need to set environment variables like ANDROID_NDK and TVM_NDK_CC pointing to the Android toolchain, why would be Visual Studio environment tools be involved here? We are building for the Android target, right?

Thank you for your help!

[tqchen]

likely you don;t want visual studio being involved, instead, it should involve android toolchain. Consolidate to #1337 which also have some updated comments
