      Description

      This bug may already be out of date as it looked like ANDROID_NDK_HOME was being phased out, but I wanted to point this out because it looks like it still exists in the code base and I believe the variable is wrong.

      If anything, it should be ANDROID_NDK_ROOT, not ANDROID_NDK_HOME. Last time I pinned the Android folks down on these, they didn’t want to say any of these were official, but this is the explanation:

      This was from David Turner from the Android team:
      [quote]

      ANDROID_NDK_ROOT -> installation dir of NDK
      ANDROID_SDK_ROOT -> installation dir of SDK
      ANDROID_SDK_HOME -> location of SDK-related user files, defaults to
      ~/.android/ on Unix.

      These variables are essentially used by the platform and SDK tools
      themselves, so are your best bet.

      There is no ANDROID_NDK_HOME.

      They are also used by the Chromium build for Android.

      If Swift is going to continue using a variable, ANDROID_NDK_HOME should be changed to ANDROID_NDK_ROOT.
