I am trying to compile Android source code under Ubuntu 10.04. I get an error saying,
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lz
Can you please tell me how can I fix it? What does cannot find -lz mean? Here’s the full error message:
external/qemu/Makefile.android:1101: warning: overriding commands for target `external/qemu/android/avd/hw-config-defs.h'
