Android Question b4a simplelibrary compiler error

[drgottjr]

output from build attempt:

Starting step: Compiling Java code.
javac 1.8.0_141
javac: directory not found: bin\classes
Usage: javac <options> <source files>
use -help for a list of possible options
Error.


what does it need, please? i have src, libs and bin subdirectories in the project directory. i even tried to add a classes subdirectory in bin (tried read only and normal properties, both. compiler deletes it). i have used slc successfully a couple times before; not seen this error. thanks for any clues.

This error is probably related to a locked folder. Make sure that the project folder is not open in Windows Explorer.

When it happens you should try to recompile. It will usually work.

that does it, thanks. even after i edit the source and close all the project folders and run the compiler, i'll get the message. but if i just pretend i didn't see it and run the compiler again, it builds fine. i'm guessing the little microsoft man in my pc needs a couple seconds to unlock the folders before i can proceed.
