Missing libs folder and libtiff.a when trying to run build_native.sh

I’m new to cocos2d-x, and only have beginner knowledge of C++.

When I try to run the build_native.sh of the HelloWorld/proj.android I get an error that there’s a file missing (libtiff.a). It’s supposed to be in the cocos2dx/platform/third_party/prebuilt/libtiff/libs folder, but there is no libs folder in libtiff.

Is there something I have to do to generate the libs needed for build_native.sh?
