title: Cannot build static library with Android NDK R8
body: <p>I have been building a shared library with the Android NDK and now want to build it as a static library. I assumed that all I had to do was change <strong>BUILD_SHARED_LIBRARY</strong> to <strong>BUILD_STATIC_LIBRARY</strong> in Android.mk but now when I run <code>ndk-build</code>, absolutely nothing happens. It just comes right back to the command prompt without displaying anything. I tried <code>ndk-build -n</code> and it shows 3 <code>rm</code> commands being executed and nothing else. I tried <code>ndk-build -B</code> and it makes no difference. I tried <code>ndk-build -d</code> and there is nothing in the output related to my source files or the name of the library.</p>
  
  <p>If I change the make file back to build the shared library, it compiles the source and links the .so with no problems.</p>
  
  <p>Anyone have any ideas what could be wrong?</p>
