iOS toolchain Build Failing on...Downloads?

[Marina Nunamaker]

When I try to build the toolchain project for kivy on ios[This command: ./toolchain.py build kivy] the build fails with:

Downloading https://bitbucket.org/slime73/sdl-experiments/get/iOS-improvements.tar.gz

Error extracting the archive /Users/bearnun/code/kivy-ios-master/.cache/sdl2-iOS-improvements.tar.gz

This is usually caused by a corrupt download. The file will be removed and re-downloaded on the next run.

I'm currently in China, so I don't know if this is Great FireWall related.  I'm also concerned that the "Downloading" and "Error extracting" files are not the same name, is that an issue?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Full output around point of failure:

Trying to find files manually, but when I go to slime73's bitbucket I can't seem to find iOS-improvements.tar.gz...

https://bitbucket.org/slime73/sdl-experiments/src/b2c000b256eace57f014f67d1cfd8f7982af1b63?at=default

As you say, if the download fails, you can manually download that zip file and place it in the

    /Users/bearnun/code/kivy-ios-master/.cache

folder. Next time you run 'toolchain.py', it will find the zip and not try to download it. We also had various firewall issues that gave the same errors.

Having said that, are you using the standard kivy-ios tooclchain? That URL sounds suspicious and I do not rememeber it from our build....

Good luck

When I try to download the files manually in a browser, the names don't seem to match.

As in the example previously posted:

Downloading https://bitbucket.org/slime73/sdl-experiments/get/iOS-improvements.tar.gz

Error extracting the archive /Users/bearnun/code/kivy-ios-master/.cache/sdl2-iOS-improvements.tar.gz

The above link will give me a file named "slime73-sdl-experiments-618662dc9e82.tar.gz", which is strange as it's not "sdl2-iOS-improvements.tar.gz or iOS-improvements.tar.gz... 0.o

I tried going straight to slim73's Bitbucket repo, where sdl-experiments sits, but I can't find anything called "iOS-improvements.tar.gz" in there, at least at that level in the directories.

And I believe I am using the toolchain from the iOS-build docs page.

And thank you! :)

Will try re-cloning, just in case...

[Marina Nunamaker]

Am unable to clone through the terminal because of my firewall issues, so I'm trying to build off of the zip I downloaded from github

Re:  Manually placing files in .cache directory

I did try this, but there seem to be name clashes, unfortunately. :/

Looking for: iOS-improvements.tar.gz
Extracting: sdl2-iOS.improvements.tar.gz

...from...

Downloading https://bitbucket.org/slime73/sdl-experiments/get/iOS-improvements.tar.gz

Error extracting the archive /Users/bearnun/code/kivy-ios-master/.cache/sdl2-iOS-improvements.tar.gz

This is usually caused by a corrupt download. The file will be removed and re-downloaded on the next run.

And going straight to slim73's bitbucket did not render much help in finding the iOS-improvements.tar.gz either... :(  

Side note: Or should I be paying more attention to the error message on the last line...? 

UnboundLocalError: local variable 'archive' referenced before assignment

Thanks, again for your help. :)

[Marina Nunamaker]

Looks like the build fail was in fact due to firewall issues.  Thanks!! :)

Download  from here manually  https://bitbucket.org/slime73/sdl-experiments/get/iOS-improvements.tar.gz

put it inside kivy-ios/.cache/ than rename it as "sdl2-iOS-improvements.tar.gz" it will work for sure.
