Problems compiling Vimtouch

[flide]

Hi Devs,

I am trying to compile the vimtouch source-code but the build fails stating the following errors :

-----------------------------------------
-pre-compile:

-compile:
[javac] Compiling 1 source file to /home/flide/Programming/Android/vimtouch/bin/classes

-post-compile:
[exec] Warning: Binary file ./bin/classes/net/momodalo/app/vimtouch/Exec contains net.momodalo.app.vimtouch.Exec
[exec] jni/Android.mk:139: jni/libncurses/Android.mk: No such file or directory
[exec] make: *** No rule to make target `jni/libncurses/Android.mk'. Stop.

BUILD FAILED
/home/flide/Programming/Android/vimtouch/custom_rules.xml:35: exec returned: 2

-------------------------------------------

The above are the last few lines displayed after I run "ant debug"

The last line in the jni/Android.mk is :

include $(VIMTOUCH)/libncurses/Android.mk

Since there is no directory named libncurses anywhere, I tried removing the include from make file but the build process terminated stating it could not find "termcap.h"

Is there something I am doing wrong?
Any help would be much appriciated.

Hi flide,

Did you run ./prepare-clean-checkout.sh?

Hi Vytautas,

I did. It took me a while to understand android compilation on command line. I have been trying to compile vimtouch for days now and at this point I could not find any help/reference on the error on google.

I have upgraded all references of max android sdk to 19 as i did not have 18 or 17 in projet including all three sub projects.

Apart from that, no change. I followed as mentioned in the readme.md

Hm. libncurses is cloned by this line:

git clone g...@github.com:momodalo/android_external_libncurses.git -b
vimtouch libncurses

Maybe it failed for some reason when you ran prepare? Try running it
by hand in ./jni.

Just to be sure, I deleted my local vimtouch repository and started afresh.

these are the last few line after downloading libiconv files by running ./prepare-clean-checkout.sh

I also tried to run the command you provided inside the jni/ directory following was the result:

---------------------------------------------------------------

git clone g...@github.com:momodalo/android_external_libncurses.git -b vimtouch libncurses

I have finally been able to get this running.
Since you pointed out the problem was with libncurses not being there I tried a few other possibilities and the following worked in the end

git clone https://github.com/momodalo/vimtouch.git -b vimtouch libncurses

running this in the jni folder worked.

Thanks for all the help :)

My pleasure :-). But I wonder why would clone fail from script, but
succeed from command line...
