Hello there,I try build Android apk on Windows.But I got failed from Ninja.There is the error info:

ninja: build stopped: subcommand failed.

I see it say “/font/font_manager.cpp.o: No such file or directory”,but I found the font_manager.cpp.o in “build/Android_arm64-v8a” dir.

Can anyone help me?

Hi @whitestar776 and welcome to the forum.
I got this issue with another .o and it was because of long paths support in Windows that was not enable.
I have a WIP branch that may fix this issue: Use fetch content instead of submodules by CedricGuillemet · Pull Request #1312 · BabylonJS/BabylonNative · GitHub
Try to build the branch and let me know how it goes.
LAst resort : can you please try to enable long path and if it still doesn’t work, can you try to clone is a shorter repository like c:\BN

Hi @Cedric ,thanks for your reply,I move it to short path,then build success.

But when I launch the app,I got a black screen,and the logcat like this:

Am I missing any steps?

This is concerning. Can you see babylon.max.js file inside the .apk? are you building debug or release? Did you change the experience.js script or did you change the list of loaded scripts?

I can see babylon.max.js in my .apk file,bot in release and debug .apk file,I just see these .so libs and .js file. But I’m sure I haven’t made any changes to the project configuration:

├── assets

│ └── Scripts

│ ├── ammo.js

│ ├── experience.js

│ ├── meshwriter.min.js

│ ├── playground_runner.js

│ ├── recast.js

│ └── validation_native.js

├── classes.dex

├── lib

│ └── arm64-v8a

│ ├── libarcore_sdk_c.so

│ ├── libarcore_sdk_jni.so

│ ├── libBabylonNativeJNI.so

│ ├── libc++_shared.so

│ ├── libjsc.so

│ └── liblog.so

I see in build.gradle have these code:

copy
{
    from '../../../node_modules/babylonjs'
    include "babylon.max.js"
    into 'src/main/assets/Scripts'
}
copy
{
    from '../../../node_modules/babylonjs-loaders'
    include "babylonjs.loaders.js"
    into 'src/main/assets/Scripts'
}

But seems it not works for me,I check the node_modules folder but it is not exist.

Maybe I should copy my own front page project to there?

I’m sorry, I’m an Android developer and I’m not very familiar with web frontends tech.

Indeed, it looks like something is going wrong. I’m taking a look.

I have a PR

Let me know @whitestar776 if this works for you (it should :slight_smile: )

This PR works, but I have to compile it twice. When I first compiled, there were still no babylon.max.js and other files in Apps/Playground/Android/app/src/main/assets/Scripts, and I needed to compile these files a second time to appear here. Could it be because the first compile time generated node_modules after copying the files?

@Cedric Maybe this PR needs to be improved a bit more, but it did solve my problem. Thanks again.
