oodavid    morning jdwilm
oodavid    jdwilm: do you have a moment to look at issues building for android?
jdwilm     oodavid: can you check that you have the core folder in native-android?
jdwilm     seems like there might be a missing sym link or submodule
oodavid    shall do :)
jdwilm     I think there is a missing symlink in native-android/TeaLeaf/jni named 'core' which should point to native-android/native-core submodule
jdwilm     Incidentally, we could probably just move the submodule and obviate the need for such a link
oodavid    jdwilm: yeah, that looks like the case
oodavid    just trying to figure out where npm has installed native-android/native-core
jdwilm     It should be on $GAME/modules/devkit-core/modules/native-android
oodavid    Ah yes :)
oodavid    jdwilm: so I've linked the files using this command: ln -s ./modules/devkit-core/modules/native-android/native-core/ ./modules/devkit-core/modules/native-android/TeaLeaf/jni/core
oodavid    but tis still failing to build: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=32K3u4q3
jdwilm     I think you need to actually `cd` into `native-android/TeaLeaf/jni` and make a link like `ln -s ../../native-core core`. I expect that the paths are not being resolved correctly after your command.
oodavid    Looks like that fixes the various missing paths - but now I'm seeing a different build failed error: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=Q8CJhaN1
oodavid    (thanks BTW, I really appreciate your help)
jdwilm     I don't see an error there
jdwilm     other than the failure
jdwilm     :(
jdwilm     can you try running that with `DEVKIT_TRACE=1 devkit release native-android`
oodavid    sure thing: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=XdN7WM76
jdwilm     oh
jdwilm     I think that you need to install android sdk 19
oodavid    right oh :)
jdwilm     Not sure why that information is suppressed otherwise
oodavid    I think this might solve a few of the issues on github, if it does I'll spread the word
jdwilm     So frustrating when these things waste so much time for you folks
oodavid    oh hey, I was thinking the opposite, so many folks wasting your time! heh
jdwilm     In my perfect world, devkit-core updates would just work.
oodavid    wouldn't that be nice!
oodavid    For whatever reason my system has removed a bunch of android sdks and tools - not by my hand, but OSX is periodically running updates which might be something
oodavid    (I've got a build-tools error, so I'll install those)
jdwilm     You mentioned updating the `android` tool, so maybe that's related
oodavid    that's true, I'll take a look at how npm manages android
jdwilm     isn't that homebrew?
oodavid    it's been a long day
oodavid    :D
jdwilm     :)
jdwilm     I filed a couple of issues to hopefully get this fixed for others
oodavid    what a guy
oodavid    looking better, but now seeing another TeaLeaf issue: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=8YPBabdE
jdwilm     I think that path is supposed to point to your build folder..
jdwilm     I've seen this one before
jdwilm     having trouble remembering the cause
jdwilm     You could maybe work around the issue by copying the local.properties from your build tree to the native-android/TeaLeaf location.
jdwilm     find build -name local.properties
jdwilm     heading out for a bit
oodavid    jdwilm: you fabulous man! Working a treat, and running so smoothly, my word, it's lush
