Hello,
I am trying to build for android using this code on windows:

cmake -G "NMake Makefiles" -DTARGET_ARCH=ANDROID -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DBUILD_ONLY="s3"
But, it is giving me this error:

NMake : fatal error U1065: invalid option 'j'

Am i doing something wrong?
I am following the instructions mentioned here on github.

@IIAwesomeII there seams to be something wrong with the dependencies that NMAKE is trying to build. I'm getting the same error with the current version of this sdk:

NMAKE : fatal error U1065: invalid option 'j'
Stop.
CMake Error at cmake/build_external.cmake:148 (message):
  Failed to build dependency libraries.
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  CMakeLists.txt:166 (include)

For now please use the last version of 1.8 of this sdk when building for android. I tested this on windows, so it should work for you.

I created this bug from the discussions so we can let you know when it gets fixed

Did anyone find a solution to "NMAKE : fatal error U1065: invalid option 'j' "

Sorry for the delay, but we have fixed, then broke, and then fixed again the builds on android. Here is the recent issue and latest fix for building on Android. Please try using visual studio to build this sdk and let us know if you still have any problems
