Thanks Jonathan The error was - it was objecting to a graphics file which had spaces in the name. You might ask why this worked on previous builds? Well I remember once just after updating the android-sdk using monodevelop instead of VS2010. It appears that MonoDevelop has changed the build flags on several files from none to content or build. The offending graphics file was not part of this project but had acquired content flag.
Thanks for your pointer - it helped enormously John Murray -----Original Message----- From: Jonathan Pryor [mailto:j...@xamarin.com] Sent: 29 August 2012 21:56 To: j...@murray.gb.com; Discussions related to Mono for Android Subject: Re: [mono-android] failed to build aapt.exe exited with code 1 On Aug 29, 2012, at 4:37 PM, John Murray <j...@murray.gb.com> wrote: > Can anyone help - I'm desperate Enable diagnostic MSBuild output: Tools > Options... > Projects and Solutions > Build and Run > MSBuild project build output verbosity: Diagnostic Clean + Rebuild your solution. The MSBuild output is visible in View > Output pad. Look through the MSBuild output and look for "aapt"; the actual aapt-generated error should be (somewhere) in there.
