I'd like to wet my feet in Android programming.

I followed the instructions found here
http://wiki.freepascal.org/Custom_Drawn_Interface/Android

and downloaded the "ready Virtual Box Image with FPC and Lazarus" from sourceforge.

After a while, I could happily run Lazarus on a Mandrive distro.

The distro is supposed to contain all the needed files.

Alas! When I try to run
androidlcltest.lpr

I get an error as shown in
http://i44.tinypic.com/2ljnssz.jpg

What is wrong ?

Thank you
Duilio

what OS is included in that image? or does it use your existing OS?

so a virtual box on a linux... ok...

it tells you directly that it cannot find the xterm binary on your system or the virtual one... xterm is a terminal generally used with a graphical environment... it is trying to open a new xterm window... this is why i ask about what OS is in the image or if it uses your existing OS...

i can only hope that this might point you in the right direction... i do not do virtual anythings... i can only tell you that if i tried it on one of my *nix boxen, the example would not run there either because that box has no GUI environment at all...

The error:
"Exception while creating process: Executable not found: "xterm"

I've seen this if the following is set on operating systems that do not have xterm, from the main Lazarus menu:
Run -> Run parameters -> Launching application -> Use launching application

Just uncheck that box and retry.

right.

The problem was exactly what you guessed.

Now I get the following error:

It is frustrating.

It seems that somebody did a sloppy work with this "ready" virtual box image... :)

Thank you

From your image, error:
Compiler "/usr/bin/fpc" does not support target arm-linux

I'm not too sure about that one, but you could check and set the following from the main menu first:
Project -> Project options -> Compiler Options -> Code generation -> Target platform: Target CPU family = arm

Hi,

I am able now to compile the example-project. (using latest codetyphon 4.41) But I am stuck on building now the final .apk file.

Here are the steps I did: ( on windows)

A) download and install code typhon from here http://www.pilotlogic.com/sitejoom/index.php/wiki/84-wiki/codetyphon-studio/80-codetyphon-download.

B) see my attached screenshots.

C) If you get any further please let me know.

Thanks.

Sam

it seems that the project is already configured for ARM:

I cannot really help any more, but maybe these will help: http://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php?topic=17577.0 http://wiki.freepascal.org/Custom_Drawn_Interface/Android#Building_the_compiler_yourself_in_Linux
