title: Android NDK Cmake Linking .a (Static) Libs
body: <p>I am using Android Studio 2.2.2 with cmake and Android NDK. I have a problem linking .a library (Static lib).</p>
  <p>Here is my cmake:</p>
  <pre><code># Sets the minimum version of CMake required to build the native
  # library. You should either keep the default value or only pass a
  # value of 3.4.0 or lower.
  
  cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.4.1)
  
  set(CMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE on)
  
  # Creates and names a library, sets it as either STATIC
  # or SHARED, and provides the relative paths to its source code.
  # You can define multiple libraries, and CMake builds it for you.    
  # Gradle automatically packages shared libraries with your APK.  
  
  add_library(lib_webp SHARED IMPORTED )
  set_target_properties(lib_webp PROPERTIES IMPORTED_LOCATION
  src/main/jni/${ANDROID_ABI}/libwebp.so)
  
  
  add_library( # Sets the name of the library.
           game-lib
  
           # Sets the library as a shared library.
           SHARED
  
           # Provides a relative path to your source file(s).
           # Associated headers in the same location as their source
           # file are automatically included.
           src/main/cpp/main.cpp
           src/main/cpp/android_native_app_glue.c            
           )
  
  
  target_include_directories(game-lib PRIVATE
   ../../../../libs/headers/android
  )
  
  include_directories($ENV{NDK_MODULE_PATH}/sources/android/native_app_glue/)
  
  # Specifies libraries CMake should link to your target library. You
  # can link multiple libraries, such as libraries you define in the
  # build script, prebuilt third-party libraries, or system libraries.
  
  target_link_libraries( # Specifies the target library.
                     game-lib
  
                     # Links the target library to the log library
                     # included in the NDK.
                     # ${log-lib}                        
  
  
                       # Specifies the name of the NDK library that
                       # you want CMake to locate.
                       log                        
                       android
                       OpenSLES
                       z
                       GLESv2
                       EGL
                       dl                         
                    )
  
  add_definitions(-g -DANDROID -Wno-write-strings -fsigned-char -Wno-conversion-null)
  
  TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES(game-lib libtheoraplayer.a)
  </code></pre>
  <p>My linker reports an error</p>
  <blockquote>
  <p>arm-linux-androideabi/bin\ld: error: cannot find -ltheoraplayer</p>
  <p>error: undefined reference to 'TheoraVideoManager::TheoraVideoManager(int)'</p>
  </blockquote>
  <p>which is a part of libtheoraplayer.a. Did anyone had similar problem? Any idea how to solve this?</p>
  <p>I have the Static lib libtheoraplayer.a present at that location. I even have the Shared lib also, libtheoraplayer.so but I can`t link it either.</p>
  <p>Any advice would be appreciated.</p>
  <p>Cheers.</p>
