Can cocos2d-x continue to build and run android app using eclipse "build" instead of force using command line?

[amuse]

I found new cocos2d-x still cannot build android version using eclipse:

**** Build of configuration Release for project MyGame1 **** python /Users/aronho/Desktop/MyGame1/proj.android/build_native.py -b release all sh: cocos: command not found Please use cocos console instead. Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Users/aronho/Desktop/MyGame1/proj.android/build_native.py", line 43, in <module> build(opts.build_mode) File "/Users/aronho/Desktop/MyGame1/proj.android/build_native.py", line 28, in build raise Exception("Build dynamic library for project [ " + app_android_root + " ] fails!") Exception: Build dynamic library for project [ /Users/aronho/Desktop/MyGame1/proj.android/../ ] fails! **** Build Finished ****

It seems official suggestion is to use command line to build after 3.4, right?

but I want cocos2d-x to continue support building and running android app using eclipse, because I don’t want to open terminal separately when editing code in eclipse, also rebuild may be frequent during development, it is not a good experience to switch between eclipse and terminal frequently.

why not support building using eclipse?

Please go through the below post. You will able to build directly from eclipse.

Cocos 3.6 to compile android in eclipse

If you don’t want to change for every project just replace the two files .project and build_native.py of “Software/cocos2d-x-3.6/templates/cpp-template-default/proj.android” with same file of cocos2d-x version 3.3 or below. After you create the project with cocos3.6 and direct run project from eclipse. So you don’t need to modify for every project. If you already created the project just replace above two file under your projects proj.android folder. If you get the An internal error occurred …

I have a solution that does not involve editing the build_native.py file.
In addition, you don’t need to do the following for each project either.

If you want Eclipse C++ build to use build_native.py correctly, within Eclipse, go to Window -> Preferences -> C/C++ -> Build -> Environment

Now, click on Add, and add the following environment variables and their corresponding values according to your work environment:

ANDROID_SDK_ROOT = path-to-android-sdk
ANT_ROOT = path-to-ant-bin
COCOS_CONSOLE_ROOT = path-to-cocos2d-console-bin
NDK_ROOT = path-to-android-ndk
NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS = number-of-parallel-compiler-threads
PATH = ${PATH}:${ANDROID_SDK_ROOT}:${ANT_ROOT}:${COCOS_CONSOLE_ROOT}
cocos = ${COCOS_CONSOLE_ROOT}/cocos
