Help beginners guild to gettig GLBasic with Android.

[Ian Price]

This is probably a really stupid question, but Gernot stated above -

-Set system environment variable JAVA_HOME like:
   JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_24

How and where exactly do I set the system environment?

I'm using Windows 7 64Bit. I've downloaded the Java and Android SDKs.

When compiling for Android I get this message-

Code (glbasic) Select Expand


Android=C:\Users\Ian\Desktop\GLBasic\hello world\distribute\Android
*** Error: Environment variable JAVA_HOME must be set to JDK path
Please install the Java Development Kit and set the variable.
Example: C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.xx

success

I've searched the forums, but most help with regard to this is in German and "Set environment variable" means nothing to me.

This should help, doesn't?

[Ian Price]

[EDIT] Actually no. It seemed to work once, but now I'm getting the same error message again.

I found this site - http://vietpad.sourceforge.net/javaonwindows.html but that didn't help either.



Can someone post a screenie of their Environment settings?

An idiots guide to setting up everything would be more than welcome

[S.O.P.M.]

You've installed the 32-Bit JDK? Yes, the compiler puts out 3 APK files,
glbasic-debug.apk
glbasic-debug-unaligned.apk and
glbasic-release-unsigned.apk
which are located in "..\distribute\Android\bin"

[Ian Price]

I've got that (see attachment), but GLB is spitting out -

Did my Java not install properly? I got no error messages.

[S.O.P.M.]

Your JAVA_HOME variable seems to be set as a user variable but has to be set as a system variable! Apart from that this beats me.

[Ian Price]

It's set as both as you can see in the System Variable below. Is this not correct then?

[S.O.P.M.]

Now I noticed your system variable is named "PATH". Edit it and name it "JAVA_HOME" please. You don't need the user variable. The value of your variable must be your actual Java installation path -> "C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdkx.x.x"

[Ian Price]

That made no difference either. I've uninstalled all other versions of the Java SDK and now I get the message

So it knows I've got Java 1.7.0_17. I've even added the extra "\bin\java.exe" to the path and it makes no difference.

[okee]

AFAIK you should only need the path to the Java root folder i.e it's
C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_24    on my computer

If you click start and Run/Seach and type in %JAVA_HOME%
it will take you to the directory that  the variable JAVA_HOME is set to

[dreamerman]

I also have Win7 64bit, both 'jdk1.6.0_41' and 'jdk1.7.0_15' installed, but PATH variable was set to JDK 6, also JRE6 installed.

There can be problems with spaces in JAVA_HOME, so I keep all java/android stuff in 'c:/android/' ;d
Similar problem: http://www.glbasic.com/forum/index.php?topic=6868.msg56923#msg56923
Don't forget to set ANDROID_SWT as system variable, mine look like this: 'C:\Android\android-sdk\tools\lib\x86'

I tried android compiling on 2 systems:
Win7 x64 -> installed Java SDK 7.0 32bit (did not install android sdk) -> did set JAVA_HOME -> everything worked fine (with bluestacks)
same setup on 2nd machine -> no success at all (doesnt matter for me, machine got replaced anyway).

[MrTAToad]

I'm surprised I haven't covered this before.  But anyway :

• You need the 32-bit version of the Java SDK.  I'm currently using the Java SE Development Kit Update 15

• You also need the Android SDK (installed into the root of a drive.  Anywhere else on the boot device causes problems.

• In System Properties -> Environment variables -> System variables you need the following :
  ANDROIDSDK -> C:\android-sdk
  JAVA_HOME -> C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.7.0_15

[kanonet]

You dont need the Android SDK, at least I dont have it and everything works fine.

[fuzzy70]

There is an Android ask installed with GLB in the "GLBasicCompilerplatformandroid" folder.
