I have installed the PowerVR SDK from the Android SDK Manager and I see the following error while trying to build a native project:  
  
  
  
**Invalid attribute name:**  
  
**package […]/android-ndk-r8d/build/gmsl/\_\_gmsl:512: \*\*\* non-numeric second argument to `wordlist’ function: ‘’. Stop.**

This is a known problem due to the r8d NDK not picking up properly the android:minSdkVersion property from the AndroidManifest.xml.  
  
  
  
To work around that issue chenge the line 512 of the file /android-ndk-r8d/build/gmsl/\_\_gmsl to:  
  
**int\_encode = $(\_\_gmsl\_tr1)$(wordlist 1,$(words $1),$(\_\_gmsl\_input\_int))**
