[With workaround and fix] Demo fails to compile using Wwise 2015.1.6 with Cocos2dx 3.10

[kakyoism]

Environment:

• Windows 10
• Cocos2dx 3.10
• Android NDK r10e
• Wwise v2015.1.6_build_5553

Repro:

1. Do everything according to the README at: WwiseDemo-cocos2dx\Readme Android.txt. until Step 4.2.
2. Compile the Release version.

Error:

The compilation fails with the following error:

Error running command, return code: 2.

Diagnostics:

1. - This seems to be caused by the newly-introduced libzip for the OBB feature.
2. - AssetManager code has changed: It's now encapsulated into the sample code samples/SoundEngine/Android/AkFileHelpers.h/.cpp inside the CAkAPKLocation class (for the better).

Workarounds:

For Error #1:
Add this line to the proj.android/jni/Android.mk among the LOCAL_C_INCLUDES assignments:
LOCAL_C_INCLUDES += ${WWISESDK}/samples/SoundEngine/Android/libzip/lib

However, you'll soon run into linker error too. So you need to add libzip dependency into your makefile:

Add this to the end of your library module block:

include $(CLEAR_VARS)
LOCAL_MODULE            := zip
LOCAL_SRC_FILES         := $(SDK_LIB_DIR)/libzip.a 
include $(PREBUILT_STATIC_LIBRARY)

Then add this to the end of your "LOCAL_STATIC_LIBRARIES" linker flag:

zip

Don't forget to add the trailing "" to the lib before it.

For Error #2:
Remove the following line from the cocos2dx-demo code C:\Audiokinetic\Wwise_v2015.1.6_build_5553\SDK\samples\IntegrationDemo\cocos2d-x\Classes\WwiseWrapper.cpp:
Wwise::Instance().GetLowLevelIOHandler()->SetAssetManager((AAssetManager*)mgr);
Since AssetManager is now hidden to low-level I/O's client code, the proper fix would be to remove the AssetManager dependency from WwiseWrapper altogether.

Finally, recompile the demo and you should be good to go.

The workaround to Error #1 one above is only to fix the compilation error. You'll need a complete fix to avoid a crash on Android.

Tested and worked with Wwise v2015.1.6 on an Android 4.2 device.
