Android compiling not working

[quangdx]

when it's compiling for android and I type SUBST into command prompt,
I get nothing back.

So I set the SUBST file manually.
which still didn't work,
but then I finally worked out it is because I'm running under parallels, with my GLBasic projects in dropbox on the Mac side,
so they show up in windows as a network drive, and this was confusing it.
Moving the GLBasic project over to the C: drive and it now appears to be working.

Ah, so it was some weird configuration   Glad its working now!

Yeah, looks like Android SDK is very picky,
doesn't like names that start with numbers, or one with symbols or spaces in them.
And it really doesn't like networked drives.

Hopefully having it it iOS and Android will work in my favour for this Cadbury HackJam event.

It is very picky!

Quite simple to fix : create the "add-on" directory in your "Compiler\platform\android\android-sdk-windows" directory

[ckrum]

I tried creating it under the SDK folder on drive C:\sdk\Compiler\platform\android\android-sdk-windows\add-ons

then I tried locating it in the root..

C:\Compiler\platform\android\android-sdk-windows\add-ons

I created drive letter Q and it just changed the error saying it cant created R:\....etc

by default add-ons was already in the path... C:\sdk\android-sdk\add-ons

The JDK SDK , AVD etc. works with other software .. this should be simple.. probably is .. but never for me. LOL
I will keep trying ..

[kanonet]

I think he means the GLBasic\Compiler\platform\android\android-sdk-windows folder, create there add-ons folder there and it should work.
BTW you dont need Android SDK, GLBasic+JDK is enough.

[MrTAToad]

Yes, it's in the GLBasic directory.

The latest/current beta I believe fixes this...  I had thought the latest release version did too as well...

[ckrum]

OMG .. finally I got it..
so the fix is ..
In the GLBASIC subfolder insure the following path exists..
C:\Program Files\GLBasic\Compiler\platform\android\android-sdk-windows\add-ons

FREAKIN AWESOME.. Now HahaHA.. 'EVIL LAUGH'

Thank you very much.
