Many issues on OS X running ./distribute.sh -m "kivy"

[r1chardj0n3s]

distribute.sh has two issues on OS X:

1. md5sum doesn't exist (though I made one so I could progress), and
2. readlink has no option "-f" which means ROOT_PATH is "" which means all the PATHS are in "/".

I've now run into a problem that it can't find arm-linux-androideabi-gcc which I'll have to resolve before progressing.

[r1chardj0n3s]

I think I found the gcc problem: the script has the path hard-coded:

# this must be something depending of the API level of Android
export PATH="$ANDROIDNDK/toolchains/arm-eabi-4.4.3/prebuilt/linux-x86/bin/:$ANDROIDNDK:$ANDROIDSDK/tools:$PATH"

This needs to be "toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.4.3/prebuilt/darwin-x86/bin" on my system.

[r1chardj0n3s]

More issues once I fix that path issue:

  Leaving ARM enviromnent
  ./distribute.sh: line 278: declare: -A: invalid option
  declare: usage: declare [-afFirtx] [-p] [name[=value] ...]

and then the script stops again because OS X does not have wget, only curl.

[r1chardj0n3s]

(the replacement curl command is "curl -O -L $url")

[r1chardj0n3s]

I can't find anything that documents what "declare -A" might do so I've altered it to "declare -a" (declare as array) which appears to be the intent.

[r1chardj0n3s]

Now I've hit this problem:

Run prebuild
Call prebuild_pygame
./distribute.sh: line 447: prebuild_pygame: command not found
Call prebuild_android
./distribute.sh: line 447: prebuild_android: command not found
Call prebuild_kivy
Run build
Call build_pygame
./distribute.sh: line 457: build_pygame: command not found
Call build_android
./distribute.sh: line 457: build_android: command not found
Call build_kivy

build_pygame does exist in recipes/pygame/recipe.sh ... no idea why this breaks yet. The script continued on though and then died with stacks of cython errors, the start of which was:

Compiler found at /usr/local/android-ndk-r8/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.4.3/prebuilt/darwin-x86/bin//arm-linux-androideabi-gcc
/usr/local/src/python-for-android/recipes/kivy/recipe.sh: line 28: /usr/local/src/python-for-android/build/python-install/bin/python.host: No such file or directory

Error compiling Cython file:
------------------------------------------------------------

^
------------------------------------------------------------

c_opengl.pxd:1:0: 'config.pxi' not found

There is no "build/python-install" directory.

[r1chardj0n3s]

Ah, I'm figuring it out. It seems I need to build a bunch of dependencies first, possibly starting right back with ./distribute.sh -m "hostpython"

... still doesn't work though. When I try the above I end up with:

Biglink create /usr/local/src/python-for-android/build/libs/libpymodules.so library
Biglink arguments:
arm-linux-androideabi-gcc: no input files

[r1chardj0n3s]

I'm afraid I've hit a dead-end now. No matter what combination of modules I try to build I end up with the build terminating with:

Biglink create /usr/local/src/python-for-android/build/libs/libpymodules.so library
Biglink arguments:
arm-linux-androideabi-gcc: no input files

[revolunet]

fighting with this too...

looks like md5sumcan ba aliases with md5 and then we just need to remove the tool detection on line 223

line 103: we have to use :
export PATH="$ANDROIDNDK/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.4.3/prebuilt/darwin-x86/bin/:$ANDROIDNDK:$ANDROIDSDK/tools:$PATH"

but then, the declare -A is not recognised and i end with :

./distribute.sh: line 278: declare: -A: invalid option
declare: usage: declare [-afFirtx] [-p] [name[=value] ...]
Read kivy recipe
Recipe kivy does not exit

Its very important to be able to compile from our environnement and not from VMs.

can anyone help ?

[ptq1]

I am wading through similar problems using Mac Lion - its a real pain. I am fiddling with distribute.sh but am not confident in what best to do. Has anyone any ideas?

With thanks in anticipation...

[revolunet]

we're working on it. are you at europython ?

[ptq1]

er europython?? - I am taking my very first steps with this and have
unfortunately hit a brick wall!

I am rather foolishly trying to write an Android app on my Mac laptop in
Python. I am beginning to wonder whether I should ditch this and simply
revert to a PC.

Any advice gratefully received,

Best

Philip.

yep. its not working yet on OSX but in a few days it should. you can also use this ubuntu VM which works great on virtualbox and has all you need inside : https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!topic/python-android/UbFDWXhGtZI

[ptq1]

Thanks very much for engaging - please let me know if/when you get it to
work.

Many thanks

Philip.

All of theses have been fixed, and it's already merged in master. Closing this issue.
