compiling

[fergal]

First off, thanks for aedict, I'm using it a lot now that I'm trying
to read manga and doudle thanks for making it open, so hopefully I can
add some of things I want.

I found http://code.google.com/p/aedict/wiki/Compile and I think I
followed the instructions correctly but ended up with

[ERROR] BUILD ERROR
[INFO]
------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] Keystore not specificed and could not locate default
debug.keystore

This makes sense since I have no keys. How do I enable the debug
keystore with maven? Or should I be doing it somewhere else?

Hi,
it's good to hear that the app is helpful :) Yeah, the build process
is quite overcomplicated - sorry. To generate the debug keystore please
try http://code.google.com/p/aedict/wiki/Eclipse
- just let me know if the instructions are not clear.
Sincerely,
Martin

I found a way to do it without eclipse (I don't have it installed and
would rather avoid it - I know android is kind of built for it which
is a shame as that puts a really high barrier to entry to people
casually fixing and changing open source android apps).

I found this page http://developer.android.com/guide/publishing/app-signing.html
which has all of the debug.keystore passwds etc so I ran

keytool -genkeypair -keystore debug.keystore -keypass android -alias
androiddebugkey -storepass android

and fed it some answers for CN etc (I took the values from that page,
although I suspect they're not important, I don't know). Then your
wiki page told me that debug.keystore had to go into ~/.android .
After that it built just fine. You might want to update the wiki page.

I am a little worried that it took 5 minutes to build (I wasn't doing
a clean, just an install). Is there something that you do to shorten
that when developing?

Hey, thanks for figuring it out! I'll update the Wiki. To speed up the
build, you can skip tests:
mvn clean install -DskipTests
also, when performing next builds, you can only build the aedict-apk
project:
cd android-apk
mvn clean install
(no need to skip tests here, they run very quickly - it is
aedict-indexer's tests which are very slow).
Thanks!
Martin

Also, I use Eclipse to develop Aedict - while it certainly is an
overbloated crap, it really speeds up things. You even don't have to use
Maven to build and run Aedict in the emulator - the ADT plugin does this
for you, and it also supports debugging. It's really quite helpful.
