Build error #5

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion
#1

I cant seem to do an android build, I get a message saying words to the effect of “Error #5” … is there a problem with the build server(s)?

#2

now it’s just timing out - never seems to finish building :/ 

#3

I´ve got the same error. There is something wrong with their servers… :frowning:

#4

I have had no problems making android builds all day

#5

@All: Which build version did you use?

#6

Its been working OK for an hour or two now - glad its fixed!

#7

That´s the issue

#8

So what did you do in oder to fix your problem @jolley.chris?

#9

Can you guys provide us a little information.

  1. Is it still happening to you?

  2. What build of Corona SDK are you using?

  3. What plugins if any are you using?

  4. Please post your build.settings?

Thanks

Rob

Hi, sorry I can’t give more detail, I just kept trying and  30 - 40 mins after I first posted here (from memory?), it was working again.

I was building for android, from windows 7, and it was a free download of the SDK that I got about 2 weeks ago (i might be able to give specific build of the SDK when im in the office tomorrow AM)

Build settings were pretty basic - android 2.2, everything else default other than name of my package etc. 

#11

If it’s working now, it could have been a transient network error. 

#12

It is still happening and I do not use any plugins. I tried different daily builds but it’s every time the same error.

Well, I can not build for android at all and tried some of the sample apps… The issue is not related to these build.settings files.

This issue only appears on windows 7 (64 bit).
I have installed Java jdk 32/64 Bit today. Do I need something else? I will download the android sdk tomorrow

#13

Does it work on another machine? 

Perhaps something’s not right with your Java install.  I think Java JDK 7 is okay to use now.

#14

I am now getting a ! (null) error when building an iOS build on my Mac.  I had build 1137 and I updated to 1170 and having the same problem on both, which sucks because I really need this to work at the moment.

#15

I just did a build with 1170 for both Android and iOS, both built successfully.

The null error could be a syntax error in a module that you’re not using but is sitting in the folder.  It could be a certificate/provisiioing profile problem too.

#16

Hmm, I don’t think it is a certificate /provisioning profile issue since I can build another project just fine with the profiles.

And I am not sure where the syntax error could be as the only two non-Corona modules that I have loading that are not in the other project which builds, have not been changed since I last built and there were no errors there.

How do you track down an issue like this?

#17

Hm… do I need to say Corona where to find the jdk? I´ve set everything to standard during installation but it did not help

#18

The console keeps saying: _ CoronaBuildMethod overriden. Using: Corona.build.5. _

#19

The JDK is usually in the path, so its found automatically.  One problem that can happen is getting an older JDK in the path.  Let me see if I can get someone with more Windows experience to help you.

That would be great, thank you! :slight_smile:
