Cannot get phonegap to work

[electronbender]

I've been trying to setup a development environment for phonegap for a
while now.
Linux, windows, you name it it doesnt work.
So in the end i am trying a clean XP install, with ADK, JDK, Ant, Ruby
installed, ANDROID_HOME, JAVA_HOME, ANT_HOME env variables set, ADK
tools, Ant\bin, JDK\bin, ruby\bin folders added to the path.
Still when i run:
C:\phonegap\bin>ruby ./droidgap c:\android-sdk-windows test
com.test.mk c:\www c
:\temp\test555

I get:
<internal:lib/rubygems/custom_require>:29:in `require': no such file
to load --
C:/phonegap/bin/lib/generate.rb (LoadError)
from <internal:lib/rubygems/custom_require>:29:in `require'
from ./droidgap:4:in `<main>'

Please help, i'm out of my mind, and have no more idea on how to get
it running...

Try the readme instructions here - it has changed just yesterday.

I am sorry, the instructions dont help.

I noticed the error indicates that phonegap is looking for generate.rb in bin/lib which is probably an error since lib is located in /lib.

So anyhow i copied the lib dir in /bin, so i no longer get that error.

However, now when i execute the same command, i do not get an error, but i do not get any out put as well.

What is wrong?

Tell me what output you need to diagnose the problem?

[Dave Johnson]

If you are running this:

C:\phonegap\bin>ruby ./droidgap c:\android-sdk-windows test
com.test.mk c:\www c:\temp\test555

then that is for PhoneGap <= 0.9.1 and not the latest master head from github.

The latest code in github (which I assume you are using since that is
the first time we have added generate.rb) you need to use the command
line calls from the readme up on github.

If you have added the phonegap-android/bin folder to your path and you
run "droidgap" then you should see a help menu. let me know what you
see when you run that.

Those docs are a little off --- I'm in the process of updating the
README and wikis now. I just did this:

$ cd Desktop/
$ droidgap gen Testing
Generated /Users/brianleroux/Desktop/Testing
$ cd Testing/
$ droidgap create
$ cd ../Testing_android/
$ droidgap run

And it worked. Note: I had my phone plugged in. You need either a
phone or a running emulator for droidgap run to work.

By the looks of your output you had neither. You can create an AVD (an
emulator) in the Android SDK manager. I just posted a screencast on
how to use it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zCqeUEPAanE

Something is happening with the create command.
I have a Virtual device running in the background, Android 1.6...
As you can see the generated Bla_android folder is empty?

Ok, i found the answer here:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3588534/phonegap-android-sample-project-not-building
The script needs to be changed to reffer to ant.bat not ant

But now i have a new problem:
C:\www>ruby C:\phonegap\bin\droidgap create

'grep' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

C:/phonegap/lib/create.rb:112:in `create_android': undefined method
`match' for
nil:NilClass (NoMethodError)
from C:/phonegap/lib/create.rb:14:in `initialize'
from C:/phonegap/bin/droidgap:19:in `new'
from C:/phonegap/bin/droidgap:19:in `<main>'

This is probably something similar. What's the windows equivalent of
grep?

I did it! I did it! Oh finally the agony is over! It's working!

I downloaded grep for windows, that fixed that error.

Then i got the first error again when i tried droidgap run, which i
resolved with adding .bat to ant.
So finally it's working!

Thanks to everyone for their assistance.

Yah cygwin helps a lot!
