Error:Execution failed for task ':ProjectName:mergeDebugResources'. > Crunching Cruncher *some file* failed, see logs

I have this error when trying to make a module of a project

apply plugin: 'com.android.library'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 17
    buildToolsVersion "19.1.0"

    defaultConfig {
        minSdkVersion 8
        targetSdkVersion 8
    }

    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.txt'
        }
    }
}

dependencies {
    compile files('libs/sdk.jar')
    compile files('libs/ads-lib.jar')
    compile project(':google-play-services_lib')
    compile files('libs/hdvdecoderandroid.jar')
}

How can i fix this error?

Edit

Here is my logs file, when i try to build it in command line

I try to search in stackoverflow, but i can't find a correct answer for my case.

As stated here this can happen when using the Gradle Tools v1.1.0. After updating to v1.1.3, this has not happened anymore.

Close android studio and open it again. Then try compiling the same code. I was getting the same error and it worked for me. Hope it helps.
