I don't think this is a bug. As shown, you've installed libandroid-spawn.

I don't think this is a bug. As shown, you've installed libandroid-spawn.

It is installed kind but not in working condition

[licy183]

What does not in working condition mean? If you can find it in $PREFIX/lib, this package has been already successfully installed, and I don't think there is any error in installing libandroid-spawn.

[licy183]

Installing ninja from pip has many bugs, because ninja from pip always tries to compile from source.
Anyway, you should try export LDFLAGS="-landroid-spawn" && pip install ninja -vv and share the output to see what is the root cause.

Someone should help me with this

Create a new issue pls

~ $ install libandroid-spawn

install is a different command, not related to pkg install. https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/install.1.html

make[2]: *** [CMakeFiles/build_ninja.dir/build....

You should post the whole log, not only the part where the word error appear. This log is useless.

Congratulations, you broke your environment.

Since the package libandroid-spawn actually works I am closing this issue.
