Question

I am using vs-android to compile the sample application available on their site. I am using the Visual Studio 11 Developer Preview

error MSB4062: The “GCCCompile” task could not be loaded from the assembly
C:\ProgramFiles (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\V110\Platforms\Android\vs-android.Build.CppTasks.Android.dll.
Could not load file or assembly ‘Microsoft.Build.CPPTasks.Common, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a’ or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
Confirm that the declaration is correct, that the assembly and all its dependencies are available,
and that the task contains a public class that implements Microsoft.Build.Framework.ITask.

I have slightly modified the file

Microsoft.Cpp.Android.Targets

to look for dll file mentioned in the error.

<Project ToolsVersion="4.0" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003">
  <Import Project="$(VCTargetsPath)\Platforms\Android\ImportBefore\*.targets" Condition="Exists('$(VCTargetsPath)\Platforms\Android\ImportBefore')" />
  <Import Project="$(VCTargetsPath)\Microsoft.CppCommon.targets" />

  <UsingTask TaskName="GCCCompile" AssemblyFile="$(VCTargetsPath)Platforms\Android\vs-android.Build.CppTasks.Android.dll" />
  <UsingTask TaskName="GCCLink" AssemblyFile="$(VCTargetsPath)Platforms\Android\vs-android.Build.CppTasks.Android.dll" />
  <UsingTask TaskName="GCCLib" AssemblyFile="$(VCTargetsPath)Platforms\Android\vs-android.Build.CppTasks.Android.dll" />
  <UsingTask TaskName="AntBuild" AssemblyFile="$(VCTargetsPath)Platforms\Android\vs-android.Build.CppTasks.Android.dll" />
  <UsingTask TaskName="VCMessage" AssemblyName="Microsoft.Build.CppTasks.Common, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" />

VCTargetsPath is correct, I have checked. Where am I going wrong?

Answer 1

Does not work with Visual Studio 11. Only vs2010 for now.
