I got the same problem on Ubuntu 14.04

@dungtruong This happened on version 3.0
You need to add the path to the top directory containing the freetype2 directory.
Use import-add-path or NDK_MODULE_PATH to do it.
OK I got it. Previously when I was trying to download cocos2d-x, I was somehow led to a currently developing page and downloaded cocos2d-x-3.zip, which is incomplete. I now downloaded cocos2d-x-3.0.zip from http://www.cocos2d-x.org/download. The file is much larger. The same build command is running through a whole bunch of cpp files right now. There are some warnings on “%ld” etc. Hope it will finish by the morning. 
Presumably the long build process is just a one time deal?
this problem seems to be embedded in all cocos versions
i have tried android-build py in version 3.15.1 and manually building in version 2.7 and i got the same issue, it will be great help if you explain more about this. thanks
if you meant editing android.mk file, i’ve even edited the default “$call (import-module,cocos)” to “$call (import-add-path,cocos)” and got this error
