arm-linux-androideabi-gcc: Internal error: Killed (program cc1)¶

This could happen if you are not using a validated SDK/NDK with Python for Android. Go to prerequisites.rst to see which one are working.

_sqlite3.so not found¶

We recently fixed sqlite3 compilation. In case of this error, you must:

• Install development headers for sqlite3 if they are not already installed. On Ubuntu:

  apt-get install libsqlite3-dev

• Compile the distribution with (sqlite3 must be the first argument):

  ./distribute.sh -m 'sqlite3 kivy'
  

• Go into your distribution at dist/default

• Edit blacklist.txt, and remove all the lines concerning sqlite3:

  sqlite3/*
  lib-dynload/_sqlite3.so
  

Then sqlite3 will be compiled and included in your APK.

Too many levels of symbolic links¶

Python for Android does not work within a virtual enviroment. The Python for Android directory must be outside of the virtual enviroment prior to running

./distribute.sh -m “kivy”

or else you may encounter OSError: [Errno 40] Too many levels of symbolic links.
