library resolve to a path with no project.properties file

Question

I'm having trouble building my project with Jenkins and referencing the Sherlock project library. I can build the project with ant on my local system. The problem seems to be referencing the Sherlock library on the build server. I pass an environment variable to ant with the relative path to the Sherlock library project: ``` android.library.reference.1=../../buildlibraries/androidlibraries/sherlock/library ``` I'm getting this error. ``` **BUILD FAILED** /SDK/android-sdk-macosx/tools/ant/build.xml:595: The following error occurred while executing this line: /SDK/android-sdk-macosx/tools/ant/build.xml:571: ../../buildlibraries/androidlibraries/sherlock/library resolve to a path with no project.properties file for project /Users/Jenkins/buildlibraries/androidlibraries/sherlock/library ``` I checked and a project.properties file does exist at that location. It has these properties: ``` android.library=true # Project target. target=android-14 ```

Accepted Answer

I had the same thing happen to me just now. I use both a Windows and Mac to develop with. I watne d to test my project on both platforms. It built just fine on my Windows machine, but broke on my Mac. When I looked at my project.properties in my Android application (not library projects) on the Mac, I saw that my library projects were referenced this way:

```
android.library.reference.1=LibraryProjects\my_lib_project
```

I changed it to the line below, and it worked just fine!

```
android.library.reference.1=LibraryProjects/my_lib_project
```
