Android build fails

Is there a way to not delete the temporary build folder (TEMP_DIR in the build.xml) when the build fails? So that I can at least try to debug the build. I’m not very familiar with this ant build system.

Details below:

Solar2D-Windows-2022.3676.msi

So I “solved” the problem. In a very hacky way:

On my PC, Android SDK is installed. I installed Solar2D on a laptop with no SDK, building a blank project works, whilst building a blank project on my PC does not work.

On my PC, CoronaBuilder.exe returns with an absurd exit code: -1073741819

The Lua build scripts also have similar exit codes.

So I modified the files inside android-template.zip:
in build.gradle.kts, change coronaBuilder to point to a batch file that forwards its arguments to CoronaBuilder.exe then “exit /b 0”

Modified the Lua build scripts to append “os.exit (0)”

Repacked input-builder.zip, and it works.

Must be another some issue with MSVCRT.

I found the problem:

the json.lua calls dkjson.lua which tries to require ‘lpeg’. There is an lpeg.dll in my system executable path linked to a different C-runtime.
