Error building client - linking to libunwind?

[zdjeffri]

Description

Unable to build android client.
I am new to ALVR and Android Development/RUST but well versed with C++ development on Ubuntu. I was successful in building the streamer.

Thanks in advance for any help!

I am targeting using ALVR after this commit -> for this feature

The following shows the error when building the client - linking to libunwind

note: run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` environment variable to display a backtrace

Checking Android SDK:

~/ALVR/ALVR$ ls ~/Android/Sdk/platforms

And running with the RUST backtrace did not yield any new information.

Checking libunwind

~/ALVR/ALVR$ sudo apt install libunwind-dev

Wellllll... I foolishly used the NDK that Android Studio installed (along with SDK 29 and 34)...

After replacing it with this NDK it built.
