Creating Pocketsphinx aar in Android Studio on Windows

[Fabian Krippner]

Hi can someone please point me to a proper explanation on how to create the file in pocketsphinx-android under Windows?
So far my attempts to find proper help here were not entirely successful. If there were at least pointers to what exactly I can read up on in order to understand the problem, of course some kind of proper walk-through would be divine...
And no, using linux is sadly not an option since this is not my computer.

Nor were the output logs helpful enough to identify the source of the problem.
So far I created environment variables "SPINXBASE_HOME" ( no this is not a typo )and "POCKETSPHINX_HOME" as those are the used path-vars for pocketsphinx and sphinxbase in the CMake file and build gradle.
Though one problem already associated therewith are the slashes. In this output example I already changed the slashes to forward slashes.
If I instead change those to 2 backward slashes and rename spinx to sphinx in both files the CMake build error is:
-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

I changed it back so the problem persists that the linker can't be determined and the file build/generated-src/cpp/pocketsphinx_wrap.c
doesn't get generated.

My only idea so far is that I'm either grandly missing something completely else or it's something about the paths....

Proper Help would be very much appreciated!

Update:
I tried the whole shebam under ubuntu linux at a friend's computer, exactly the same errors.
We even tried hardcoding the paths to sphinxbase/pocketsphinx in gradle/cmake instead of using system vars, no chance.
