ZGameEditor forum

Hello
I am trying to get zgeskelet built, but I am unsuccessful.
I am following the guide ZgeSkelet Library ‐ How to Build
I can't seem to get step 5 to work.
I keep getting errors. First I was getting "Cannot open include file: 'cal3d/cal3d.h'". For some reason that stopped and switched to "Cannot open include file: 'GL/glew.h'".
I am trying to follow the instructions as closely as I can. I'm not sure if I am misunderstanding.
Please help.

Okay. I got it done.
I had to move the OpenGL library files from the Win32GlutAndGlew folder to Cal3D source (src) folder.
Thanks for the tool.

The problem I am having now is with the android build.
I navigated to the Android folder, which contains one directory - jni, and run the command ndk-build.
I received this message: 'ndk_build' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
I already have Android NDK installed, and the Path variable set.
Have I done things correctly?

Well, with a few adjustments, I got it to build, but it quit with some major errors:

Does any one know what cased these errors?

Dear Jay3D, you can download compiled versions of ZgeSkelet library from here.

I was trying to access the previous link for these, but it was broken. Thanks

One question.
Do I put the .dll and .so files in ..\Template\base\libs?

Put the .dll file to the same directory as .exe (or .zgeproj for development) and .so file to libs/armeabi folder (libzgeandroid.so is already there). You can see my examples.

Thanks.
Sorry to take up your time.
This one is clear -

and .so file to libs/armeabi folder

I don't understand this one -

Put the .dll file to the same directory as .exe (or .zgeproj for development)

There are two folders with .exe - the root, containing ZGameEditor.exe" and Tools, containing "upx.exe".
Neither of these folders contain a .zgeproj file.
I'm not sure what you mean.

To clarify it: DLLs of external libraries are usually put to the directory where your project resides (ZGE project has extension .zgeproj); not to the installation folder of ZGE. Some system libraries are taken from system's installation. Also when you compile your project to EXE file and distribute, the DLL must be placed in the same folder as EXE, by default (you can change it... but why?).

BTW, do not apologize for your questions, I'm happy to help users of ZGE and my libraries.

Now I gotcha. Thanks
