Error targeting MIPS ABI

[kidandcat]

I'm getting an error because mapbox is trying to use MIPS ABI, and it has been retired in Android NDK, Revision r17c (June 2018):

Support for ARMv5 (armeabi), MIPS, and MIPS64 has been removed. Attempting to build any of these ABIs will result in an error.

am I wrong? is any work already in progress to fix this?

I finally could make the build, but I needed to copy an older toolchain manually into the NDK bundle.

Steps to reproduce

1. Download and install the latest version of Android NDK
2. Use this package and compile an app

Expected behavior

Compile without problem

Actual behavior

Error due to: Support for ARMv5 (armeabi), MIPS, and MIPS64 has been removed. Attempting to build any of these ABIs will result in an error.

am I wrong?

You are correct NDK has removed support for these ABIs

is any work already in progress to fix this?

There is nothing to fix from our end, these ABIs are not longer supported by Google and as result not by us.

Download and install the latest version of Android NDK

The latest NDK doesn't work yet with our SDK, see #12972

Closing this issue as this is not actionable for us, @kidandcat would love to hear more about your use-case and what you are trying to achieve.
