No rule to make target when trying to build in Android

[korab8]

I am trying to build the source code in Android Studio and it keeps throwing the *** No rule to make target for ../pdf-js.c needed by pdf-js.o . Stop.

I am having a hard time trying to fix this. How do I exactly run this source code?

Full Error:

The file is in /source/pdf/js/. I have no experience in building with Android Studio (always used ant).

[korab8]

You have an android version and it is in the play store. Could you explain how did you build the project in android? Maybe I'm doing something wrong.

[cgogolin]

I haven't done it for quite some time, but I always used to compile this "the old fashioned way" by issuing:

ant clean && ndk-build clean && ndk-build && ant debug

This assumes that you have the android SDK set up and your local.properties in place.
