Issues Compiling cocos2dx-lite

Cocos Creator

Hi Guys,

I’m trying to compile the cocos2dx-lite libraries:

I’m getting stuck every time at the following point.

Building apk...
running: '"/Users/idreamimac2016/Projects/cocos2d-x-lite/tools/simulator/frameworks/runtime-src/proj.android-studio/gradlew" --parallel --info assembleDebug'

All my environment variables seem to be set properly, which is how I got this far in the process I think. Trying to open the project directly in Android Studio didn’t reveal much information. If anyone can point me in the right direction, it would be truly appreciated.

Thanks

xmm interesting how usseful is lite version - like what kind of advantages it brings and how ahead it is from 3.15.1 version?

AFAIK, the lite version is specifically for Cocos Creator projects. It’s had 3d features removed ( among others ). I’m not sure how useful it would be for pure 2d-x projects.
