Q: Why can't I run any Android NDK commands?

I was running Mint 12 before, and everything was working there. I switched to Ubuntu 12.04, and now I am very frustrated. When I run ndk-build, I get /home/buzz/ndk/prebuilt/linux-x86/bin/make: not found So, I changed to that folder directly. When I type in ./make, I get bash: ./make: No suc...

Mitch

A: I can't install Ubuntu on Windows 7

You cannot install two OS's onto the same partition. It is a universal computing law. Wubi, as suggested as Sergey, is not a way to install on the same partition, rather just trickery that puts ubuntu in a file.

msPeachy

what happens if a person has only 1 rep left and his/her answer was downvoted? is there such a thing as a negative rep? or the rep point will be deducted when he/she earns enough points?

Mitch

@fossfreedom Sorry didn't catch that. Just got up. Can the close vote be reversed?

fossfreedom

no - but your comment can be.

Mitch

I already did.

Anwar Shah

@msPeachy no

Anwar Shah

aking1012

jokerdino

@AnwarShah don't be misguided. those two other votes came after i got more rep in the site.

Anwar Shah

Lord of Time

3:37 PM

@ObsessiveFOSS the hell?

that's a year old post

no need to be commenting on it and giving me needless notifications

ObsessiveFOSS

It still is a URL (and not spam).

Lord of Time

/me gets emailed on each notification

ObsessiveFOSS

And the link could be long-dead by now. Lucky that it isn't.

Anwar Shah

This is my first question - askubuntu.com/questions/134497/… and I answered that!

jokerdino

@ObsessiveFOSS you could edit instead

Jorge Castro

3:38 PM

Lord of Time

@ObsessiveFOSS thanks for making my day a bit worse.

/me now has an annoyance level of 9000

aking1012

Odd first question I guess: askubuntu.com/questions/15220/…

Anwar Shah

@aking1012 I have a question to you, if you don't mind

aking1012

@AnwarShah go for it

Anwar Shah

What is meant by 1012? why not 2012?

And after long time I figured the reason of your this message

RegDwight АΑA

jokerdino

Anwar Shah

Anwar Shah

3:52 PM

we have got an English enthusiast here

RegDwight АΑA

A pun, even.

Anwar Shah

@jokerdino do you agree?

jokerdino

With?

RegDwight АΑA

There's nothing to agree or not agree on.

Ubuntu (operating system)
