How do you set the Android library absolute path in ant.properties?

Question

Whenever I set

android.library.reference.1=G\:Projects\Android\library\core\

in ant.properties, I get the following error while building:

G\:Projects\Android\library\core\ resolve to a path with no project.properties
file for project G:\Projects\Android\library\test

The path is correct, and the folder does contains project.properties file. How do I resolve this issue? Does android build only take in terms of relative path?

Answer 1

Yeah, it doesn't work with absolute paths -- just use relative, ie the one with lots of ../..

Answer 2

Try using Unix style delimitters, '/' not '\' e.g.

workspace.dir=/dev/projects/EclipseIndigo/AndroidWorkTwo

The above line works for me in Windows
