I have an existing project that builds fine using my IDE. I’d like to use the “android update” command to generate an ant buildfile for this project.

The buildfile is generated fine, but the build fails because it’s not building with some jarfiles I have in my libs directory.

I’d like to figure out the proper way to tell ant to build with some external jar files in my libs directory. How should I do this? Is it a property in build.properties? Do I need to modify build.xml somehow? Or is there a different solution entirely?

    but the build fails because it’s not
    building with some jarfiles I have in
    my libs directory.

    And your error message is…what? I suspect you may be misinterpreting the error message.

    I’d like to figure out the proper way
    to tell ant to build with some
    external jar files in my libs
    directory. How should I do this?

    Just put them in libs/, as Ant will add everything in there to your build path. See this project, and this project, and this project for examples.
