Hi!

I would like to build my own library. I followed the LibraryTemplate steps.

But then i got stuck at number 5. Where is that " build.properties" file ?

Where do i need to put the " build.xml"?

cheers

Apparently, from the description, the build.properties file is supposed to be part of the library template.
It is a file used to describe the library, allowing to import it automatically from Processing and to build a listing of contributed libraries.
And they describe how to move the build.xml, so I don't know what isn't working for you.

Note: I haven't used this template, yet... Made a library by hand...

It should be in the resources folder, along with the build.xml file. There could be a chance that you're using an older version of the library template that doesn't include the build.properties file, and has you directly modify the build.xml file. If this is the case, then download the latest library template from the website.

Thx calsign, i used the wrong library template. But now after building i cannot find the ' distribution' folder.

And even the myLib.jar is in the libraries folder, processing doesn't find it, not even the 'template.library' package.

I exactly followed this tutorial http://vimeo.com/11383340.

Its weird, the first time i edited the buil .properties i could see the "outline", now it says "An outline is not available"...

thanks allot!
