#13 Help with compiling

[fuzzlog]

Hello.

I tried to compile servestream from source but it failed.
I use linux and i fetched servstream from svn
I then created the local.properties and set the correct path
But when i run ant it gives this error:

ant clean debug
Buildfile: /home/work/Work/adt-bundle-linux-x86_64-20140702/servestream-code/build.xml

-setup:
[echo] Project Name: ServeStream
[gettype] Project Type: Application

-pre-clean:

clean:

What is the problem here?
Regards and thx for the help

It looks like you need to navigate to /home/work/Work/adt-bundle-linux-x86_64-20140702/sdk/extras/android/support/v7/appcompat and run android update project --path . to generate a project.properties file. Also, make sure the appcompat library is also added to the project.properties file found in the root ServeStream directory. Let me know if that helps.

Thanks for trying to help. I guess you have better things to do then teaching how to build your app. But I would appreciate your help here!

Still can't get it to build.
So basically this is what I did:
The sdk is in this path: /home/work/Work/adt-bundle-linux-x86_64-20140702/sdk
The NDK is in this path: /home/work/Work/adt-bundle-linux-x86_64-20140702/ndk

I fetchted servstream which is now in:
/home/work/Work/adt-bundle-linux-x86_64-20140702/servstream-code

Inside servestream-code I did:
android update project --path . and added the ndk and sdk path to the local.properties file

as suggested by you i went to /home/work/Work/adt-bundle-linux-x86_64-20140702/sdk/extras/android/support/v7/appcompat and did android update project --path . and also added the sdk and ndk path to the local.properties file there.

I think one last peace is missing because i still get the error.

If you find some time, i'd be glad to read a solution here.
thx.

I think I got a little bit further but still I cannot compile it.

This is where I got to:

work@workplace-T410s:~/Work/src/opt/software/servestream-code$ ant clean debug
Buildfile: /home/work/Work/src/opt/software/servestream-code/build.xml

-check-env:

[gettype] Project Type: Application

-pre-clean:

clean:

Any Idea?

What are the contents of /home/work/Work/adt-bundle-linux-x86_64-20140702/sdk/extras/android/support/v7/appcompat/build.xml. The log says the file is invalid.

[fuzzlog]

Yes, this file seemd to be broken. Error is gone but compiling stucks at another stage.

there seem to be a mismatch of the file android-support-v7-appcompat.jar.

So i get this error:

[dependency] Ordered libraries:
[dependency] /home/work/Work/adt-bundle-linux-x86_64-20140702/sdk/extras/android/support/v7/appcompat
[dependency]
[dependency] ------------------
[dependency] Found 2 versions of android-support-v7-appcompat.jar in the dependency list,
[dependency] but not all the versions are identical (check is based on SHA-1 only at this time).
[dependency] All versions of the libraries must be the same at this time.
[dependency] Versions found are:
[dependency] Path: /home/work/Work/adt-bundle-linux-x86_64-20140702/sdk/extras/android/support/v7/appcompat/libs/android-support-v7-appcompat.jar
[dependency] Length: 520038
[dependency] SHA-1: 4a3c67dee4051a6bb47c877c6115ba4b1a246afb
[dependency] Path: /home/work/Work/src/opt/software/servestream-code/libs/android-support-v7-appcompat.jar
[dependency] Length: 351603
[dependency] SHA-1: aaa3ec7d7bfb3446a9190c5b1f601f1eb94745e7

So I deleted the /home/work/Work/src/opt/software/servestream-code/libs/android-support-v7-appcompat.jar and copied it over from /home/work/Work/adt-bundle-linux-x86_64-20140702/sdk/extras/android/support/v7/appcompat/libs/android-support-v7-appcompat.jar

Thing is that this gives new errors like:
[aapt] /home/work/Work/adt-bundle-linux-x86_64-20140702/sdk/extras/android/support/v7/appcompat/res/values-v21/styles_base.xml:75: error: Error retrieving parent for item: No resource found that matches the given name 'android:Widget.Material.ActionButton'.
[aapt]
[aapt] /home/work/Work/adt-bundle-linux-x86_64-20140702/sdk/extras/android/support/v7/appcompat/res/values-v21/styles_base.xml:79: error: Error retrieving parent for item: No resource found that matches the given name 'android:Widget.Material.ActionButton.CloseMode'.
[aapt]
[aapt] /home/work/Work/adt-bundle-linux-x86_64-20140702/sdk/extras/android/support/v7/appcompat/res/values-v21/styles_base.xml:83: error: Error retrieving parent for item: No resource found that matches the given name 'android:Widget.Material.ActionButton.Overflow'.

I tried to use the android-support-v7-appcompat.jar you provide but this also gives errors.

Any idea how to solve this mismatch?
Cheers.

[William Seemann]

I just updated the support libraries which should fix your build errors. Perform a fresh checkout and make sure your build target is API 21.

[fuzzlog]

It works now. Thanks for your help and thanks a lot for the nice app! It's a really useful peace of software.

[William Seemann]

No problem, I'm glad you find it useful.
