I think this part of BUILD.gn is missing in the corresponding gyp file:

if (is_android) {
    import("//build/config/android/config.gni")
    if (defined(android_ndk_root) && android_ndk_root != "") {
      deps += [ "//third_party/android_ndk:cpu_features" ]
    } else {
      assert(false, "CPU detection requires the Android NDK")
    }
  }

V8 basically slurps in this file: https://chromium.googlesource.com/android_ndk/+/refs/heads/main/sources/android/cpufeatures/cpu-features.c

I don't really have a suggestion on how to fix that except by vendoring it and the other files except Android.mk in that directory. PR or better solution welcome, I'd say.

@bnoordhuis

@bnoordhuis My proposal would be to source it locally from $ANDROID_NDK_ROOT/sources/android/cpufeatures. I am not aware how to acces ENV variables in the gyp file though.

You can't access them directly but you can from configure.py, which then writes config.gypi.

However, that adds one more moving part to the build and moving parts have a tendency to break down, hence my suggestion of vendoring.

That file seems to change only very infrequently; last two changes were 2 and 5 years ago, respectively.

FWIW android_configure.py already knows the path to the Android NDK:

node/android_configure.py

Lines 25 to 33 in 254574e

    
           if not os.path.exists(sys.argv[1]) or not os.listdir(sys.argv[1]): 
        
               print("\033[91mError: \033[0m" + "Invalid path to the Android NDK") 
        
               sys.exit(1) 
        
           if int(sys.argv[2]) < 24: 
        
               print("\033[91mError: \033[0m" + "Android SDK version must be at least 24 (Android 7.0)") 
        
               sys.exit(1) 
        
           android_ndk_path = sys.argv[1]

@bnoordhuis

@bnoordhuis If it does not cause legal issues I think vendoring would be the most stable option indeed. The library itself seems deprecated anyways so I would not expect updates either. For me it is not quite clear how v8 sources it though, because it is not committed there either. Is the build system downloading it or how does it work with v8 deps?

Yes, chromium's fetch tool downloads it when you clone the v8 repo.

@nappy do you want to send a pull request or can I close this?
