Build Alexa Smart Screen SDK Error

[shenhuaz]

IMPORTANT: Before you create an issue, please take a look at our Issue Reporting Guide.

Briefly summarize your issue:

it will do a unit test by Ctest when build smart screen sdk, and all my test cases are failed, it will show error after that.

What is the expected behavior?

it should show as official website like these:
[ 5%] Built target AlexaPresentation
[ 15%] Built target gmock_main
[ 21%] Built target AlexaPresentationTest
[ 26%] Built target SmartScreenTemplateRunTime
[ 31%] Built target TemplateRuntimeTest
[ 42%] Built target SmartScreenClient
[100%] Built target SampleApp

What behavior are you observing?

[ 8%] Built target VisualCharacteristics
[ 26%] Built target gmock_main
[ 34%] Built target VisualCharacteristicsTest
[ 43%] Built target AlexaPresentation
[ 52%] Built target AlexaPresentationTest
[ 60%] Built target SmartScreenTemplateRunTime
[ 69%] Built target TemplateRuntimeTest

Hi @shenhuaz

Have you gotten the Alexa Device SDK running successfully on your dev machine? You can also try to run their unit test via "make test" in the build folder for Alexa Device SDK.

I'm thinking there might be some dependencies issue with your build. Please running unit tests and the sample app in Alexa Device SDK and let me know!

Thanks,
Mike

hi @nguymi91

unit tests in Alexa Device SDK are failed. I think this issue may relate to my build environment. 

I build it on my Ubuntu 18.04 Laptop, but my cross-compiler is ARM. Then I try to add parameter "-DBUILD_TESTING=0" in cmake command, it can skip unit test and make shared-libraries successfully.

Thanks

Hi,
Can you let me know how to setup my host to cross compile avs smart screen sdk and apl library for arm64?

Thanks in advance

[powj]

@r3v3rt3d Please refer to one of the quickstart guides referenced here for instructions on building the Alexa Smart Screen SDK, due to the large number of hardware combinations and toolchains we are unable provide instructions for devices beyond those included on that page.
If you encounter a specific problem then I would recommend that you raise a new issue.

[r3v3rt3d]

Hi Pow,
Sorry but I can't find any guide for cross compile avs smart screen sdk and apl for arm64. Can you link me one pls? It's possible run this sdk on Android 9?

Thanks in advance.

[VaruPan]

Hi @r3v3rt3d,

As pointed by @powj, due to the large permutations of platforms+OS, we will not we able to provide build instructions of every platform. The closed platform to arm64 is Raspberry Pi reference platform. Please follow the instruction of the quick start guide.

Currently, Alexa Smart Screen SDK is officially supported on the platforms mentioned in the overview - namely - macOS, ubuntu and Raspberry Pi OS.
