I’m getting this error with Eclipse: sh: cocos: command not found

Console output:

NDK: n9d
Cocos2d-x: 3.5

The project is running normally with “cocos run -p android” and with xcode for iOS

The problem is just with Eclipse

He’s right !! Go to 3.4, cuz I don’t know why but just I’ve just succeeded to built 2 times with the 3.5 (“OS X 10.10, Eclipse Luna”), I think that’s a f*cking random error that happened 9/10 times, but I don’t really know wtf?!? ^^
Maybe it will be fixed in the 3.6…

Just replace build_native.py file under proj.android folder with older version (3.3) build_native.py. It’s work like charm.

hi, you delete folder obj and clean project again !
i have idea : if you used cocos old versions, before(3.5) you can build project with eclipse, if you used 3.5, you should build project with cmd(command prompt) : “cocos run -p build debug”

ps: for cocos 3.5 if you want build project with eclipse, you can copy file build_native.py from old version to new version 3.5

thanks P_Thanh ,I copy file build_native.py from version3.4 to new version 3.5,It’s slovel.
Thank you very much.

To solve the error “sh: cocos: command not found”

Reboot after set up for new cocos2d-x 3.5 and confirm there are these lines in ~./bash_profile

open and edit bash_profile

or
edit build_native.py:**

…
def build(build_mode):
…
from:
command = ‘cocos compile -p android -s %s -m %s’ % (app_android_root, build_mode)

to:
command = ’ absolute_path_of_your_cocos2d-x-3.5/tools/cocos2d-console/bin/cocos compile -p android -s %s -m %s’ % (app_android_root, build_mode)

In eclipse also define ANT_ROOT and ANDROID_SDK_ROOT in project->properties->C/C++ Build-> Environments

After you do all the above, you pass the error but you will only get the result: “Please use cocos console instead”
==> build NDK from cmd “python build_native.py -b release” in terminal.
==> and then you can continue the “native-android-side” code and build .apk in eclipse.

I have a solution that does not involve editing the build_native.py file.

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
