Java heap space error (Android build)

[K0torisan]

Another day, another error.

I was building the Android package for my game, when I encountered this error:

Code: Select all

Ren'Py 7.1.3.1092

Updating project.

Creating assets directory.

Packaging internal data.

I'm using Gradle to build the package.
Starting a Gradle Daemon, 3 stopped Daemons could not be reused, use --status for details

The build seems to have failed.

I took a look at the Gradle help page, but it's a bit confusing and the solutions are equally confusing. Mac and PC packages work just fine.
Is my game a bit too big...? There are a few ways I can cut down the file size if that's what I need to do.

Any help would be appreciated!

You have to use :

-Xms<size> set initial Java heap size
-Xmx<size> set maximum Java heap size

in the the environment variable setting

Using the 64-bit system should solve it though...

Just to double check - this is the right JDK, correct? Maybe I made a mistake?

[Triority]

Thats the one !

I'm getting that too now for some reason - compiled once okay, and then subsequent compiles with this error...

Turns out it was a Corel Auto Save hidden directory that was the cause of the problem
