I just received a new Mac Mini, so I thought I'd use the new
bootstrapping feature to get the development system set up. I ran into
a problem though. I'll file a bug, but also wanted to document it
here:
1. Installed Homebrew using the ruby snippet from the Homebrew website [1]
2. Installed wget using: brew install wget
3. Used the wget snippet at [2] to start the boostrap set up
4. During the Android NDK install, I hit an error:
Error: No available formula for android-ndk-r8e
Searching formulae...
Searching taps...
Traceback (most recent call last):
