Linking prebuilt opencv static library in Android.mk

edit

Hi I am trying to link prebuilt external/opencv3 libopencv_core.a in the Android tree to my project that's also in the tree. I get the following error

ninja: error: 'out/target/product/neo/obj/STATIC_LIBRARIES/libopencv_core_prebuilt_intermediates/export_includes', needed by 'out/target/product/neo/obj/STATIC_LIBRARIES/libNV_intermediates/import_includes', missing and no known rule to make it

I am able to link to libopencv_core when Android builds it, but I need to link to opencv3 built with opencl created using the following make.

cd /hdd/NEO8/external/opencv3/platforms
./scripts/cmake_android_arm.sh -DANDROID_ABI=arm64-v8a -DANDROID_NATIVE_API_LEVEL=android-23 -DWITH_OPENCL=yes -DWITH_CUDA=no
cd build_android_arm
make -j8
OpenCV static libraries are created in the lib/arm64-v8a directory.

My project is all native code (c++) with no jni or Java.

The tree structure is:

my_android_tree_root/
                external/opencv3  (this is where I build the libopencv_core.a)
                device/my_app  (this is where my Android.mk is)

The external/opencv3 code is v3.0 downloaded from Google.

I'd attach the Android.mk but this forum only allows image attachments. Below is how I'm adding the prebuilt to the Android.mk

include $(CLEAR_VARS)
PREBUILT_PATH := /hdd/NEO8/external/opencv3/platforms/build_android_arm/lib/arm64-v8a
PREBUILT_INCLUDE_PATH := /hdd/NEO8/external/opencv3
LOCAL_EXPORT_C_INCLUDE_DIRS := \
    $(PREBUILT_INCLUDE_PATH) \
    $(PREBUILT_INCLUDE_PATH)/modules/core/include \
    $(PREBUILT_INCLUDE_PATH)/opencv2 \
    $(PREBUILT_INCLUDE_PATH)/modules/hal/include
LOCAL_MODULE            := libopencv_core_prebuilt
LOCAL_SRC_FILES := $(PREBUILT_PATH)/libopencv_core.a
include $(PREBUILT_STATIC_LIBRARY)

The LOCAL_EXPORT_C_INCLUDE_DIRS is the same as what I use when I link to the Android built opencv3.

I can tell that the Android build process is finding the libopencv_core.a file because when I change the static library name to something bogus, i.e.

LOCAL_SRC_FILES := $(PREBUILT_PATH)/libopencv_core_bogusName.a

the linker says it can't find libopencv_core_bogusName.a.

Is there a way to get more information out of the Android build info like a verbose=true setting? Any ideas on what I can try would be greatly appreciated.

This is the entire Android.mk
