How return the window Find Static Library?

[Lena]

Hi.
I use this article:
How to use Android Service(TAndroidService) in C++Builder
I try to add services in my project with TBeacon.
When compile I got errors:
Unabled to find static library: libdelphiandroidservises.a, libvclie.a....
I saw window "Find Static Library". I set "Remove the reference" and set "Don't ask me again". The compilation was successful.
Today I open project and got errors again but I don't see window "Find Static Library".
How to get window "Find Static Library" back now and fix this errors?

VclActnBand, Vclx, Vcl, VclImg, VclIE - those are all VCL libraries for Windows only, they are not FMX libraries, and as such are not available for Android. It sounds like you started with a VCL project instead of a FMX project. Start over and try again.

1. I have С++ Builder berlin Android project with component of TBeacon and the project works successfully on my phone.
2. Now I am using the standard Delphi example for Android service. In the service I add the component TBeacon. This component cannot be used in Windows. Compilation is successful.
3. Add this service in my Android project. Then compile project and got errors.

3. Add this service in my Android project. Then compile project and got errors.

Sounds like another IDE bug.

When I saw the window Find Static Library I was able to compile. Is there a way to return this window?

[corbingravely]

Hope This helps.

This is something i referred from another forum.

Let's say that I am using UEStudio to build a default static library project using the default static library template supplied with UEStudio MinGW configuration. Let's call the project name TestLib. In addition to the default int InitLibrary(void) function supplied in the cpp file, I just want to add a function in this static library to print out the words "Test Print".

TestStaticLib.h file:

Code: Select all
#include "stdio.h"
#include <iostream>

void TestPrint ();

TestStaticLib.cpp file:

Code: Select all
#include "TestStaticLib.h"

int InitLibrary(void)
{
return 1;
}

void TestPrint (){

std::cout << "Test Print" << std::endl;
}

That is it. I build the static library without errors or warnings, and UEStudio outputs the files: TestStaticLib.a, TestStaticLib.o

This ends the process of building a static library using UEStudio ...

Now here is where the problems starts ...

I now try to build a default console project using the default console template, call it TestConsole, and bring in the TestStaticLib:

TestConsole.h file:

Code: Select all
#include "stdio.h"
#include "TestStaticLib.h"

TestConsole.cpp file:

Code: Select all
#include "TestConsole.h"

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{

TestPrint ();
return 0;
}

Compiler configurations:

Under compiler options:

Additional Include Directories = C:\Static\TestStaticLib (where the TestStaticLib.h file resides)

Under Linker Options:

Libraries = -lstdc++ -lkernel32 -user32 -lgdi32 -lcomctl32 -lcomdlg32 -lTestStaticLib (note that is -lTestStaticLib for Link)
LibraryPath = C:\Static\TestStaticLib\Debug

When I build, I got the error:

Code: Select all
c:/program files (x86)/idm computer solutions/mingw/bin/../lib/gcc/mingw32/4.7.1/../../../mingw32/bin/ld.exe: cannot find -lTestStaticLib

I have put in every possible paths, under compiler options, linker options that I know of, so I really cannot understand why I still get the error message saying it cannot finds -lTestStaticLib.

I am hoping my description is cleared and hoping someone can shed some lights into this issue and/or point me to the correct direction.

Just out of curiosity, do I have to prefix my static library name with "lib" as in "libTestStaticLib" instead of just "TestStaticLib"?

Thanks again.
