In order to build collabora online 24.04 android, followed as Build for Android | Collabora Online - Community Page
But i couldn’t build POCO from version 1.10.1 to 14.2 with androi NDK 23.
I got error “x86-64-linux-android.ar not found”, “i686-linux-android.ar not found” and “aarch64-linux-android.ar not found”.
Which version of poco can be built with android NDK 23?

Hello @james_brown

Quick Fix (NDK 23+)

Starting with NDK r23, the binutils tools like ar were removed in favor of LLVM tools (like llvm-ar). So instead of:

  • aarch64-linux-android-ar
    you now get:
  • llvm-ar (with --target=aarch64-linux-android)

Option 1: Set Environment Variables (Preferred)

Add this to your environment before building Poco:

export AR=llvm-ar
export RANLIB=llvm-ranlib

Also make sure to use:

export CC=clang
export CXX=clang++

Then rerun the Poco build step.

Make sure that llvm-ar is in your $PATH. It’s in $ANDROID_NDK_HOME/toolchains/llvm/prebuilt/linux-x86_64/bin/.
